Post all your parameters and maybe someone can help you. 7kh is a little low.If anyone has some advice, my leathers and Xenia look like crap - water is milky - kh of my new mixed water is 11 and tank only 7. The nepthea I bought was about 8" tall and right now it looks like a weeping dying leather. All lps look fine with exception of Duncan which never really opens to begin with.

Stability is important.Likely shock from the Kh difference between the tank and WC . Also possible ammonia, two fish added to a (pretty new) 10g tank is substantial, even though not large fish.
Nice pic

If parameters drop too low during the week and then a water change brings them up. Would you say the corals get stressed from too fast an increase?What's your ph and Mag? Something is out of balance to throw your #'s off . I agree, You should have no problem maintaining everything with WC.
Oh cool. I love your setup. I'm just starting to add corals to my tank. I'm following along so I can learn more.No ph test since I got rid of apex and mag is only Red Sea and reads high all the time. The issues didn't start until yesterday. Only thing I did different was add the leathers. Not sure. Yes I added more rocks. They are fake and have no matter than can break down, would not cause mini cycle. When I did rescape nothing was out of water for more than a minute or so, and no sand was stirred up. Like I said, I would say it is chemical imbalance, except for the fact that no other coral is effected. Only Xenia, and two leathers. And then, the nepthea was laying on top of Xenia - it has started to open now and the Sinularia isn't perfect but it does look better. Duncans have opened as well. Nepthea looks like crap.

Good luck. Hopefully your turn out is better than mine. I'm at a record for patience right now as I've had probably 6 tanks in four years. If not more. This one is really starting to irritate me as well, especially after dumping money into a bigger tank to be told I couldn't have it a week later.Oh cool. I love your setup.

Regular testing of all parameters should help you nail down the imbalance.
Thanks for sharing.

That sucked. Smaller tanks are tougher so if you can do this your set for future endeavors. I think your earlier hunch was accurate that smaller more frequent water changes are gonna help with stability.Good luck. Hopefully your turn out is better than mine.
