Weird pineapple sponge total death

[Jake_the_reefer]

I have just observed a weird occurance in my nano tank. All of the pineapple sponges in the back section of my aio aquarium came loose from the glass and were pumped into the display through the return pump. My display area is absolutley full of shredded and whole pineapple sponges. There's not a single sponge now in the back of my tank. Has anyone seen this before?

I've checked my parameters and they are the same as always.
Salinity 1.026
Temp 78
Alk 7.5
Calcium 420
Mg 1280
Phos .03
Nitrates < 5ppm

The only thing I can think of in the last couple days is I added brightwell floringro nitrates. (Probably not an amazing idea)

I believe this is made for freshwater.

It is. That's why I think it probably wasn't a great idea. I needed something to boost the nitrates while I was waiting to get some saltwater stuff.
