Hey All,
I have a huge problem with my reef tank. About 4 weeks ago, I had lost 3 of my babies (Flame angel, Butterfly (Battling apstisia) and my anthias, then about 3 days later, I lost my yellow fiji coral, toadstools now are down and my red candy cane and montipora are almost white. My levels are good with the exception that I found the PH had dropped while I was on vacation to 78, normally keep at 8.3. I did a 40% wc almost immediately and now have another 40% ready to go with tropic marine. Fyi, I have a 155 bow front with mega 4 sump, 140 lbs live rock, 150 lbs live sand, 780w lighting system about 1 year old. I run my atinics 9 hrs, 3 150w mh 10000K for 7 hours. I run Carbon regularly, I am beside myself and really need help. I went to my lfs and they told me to switch up salt from instant ocean to tropic marine. I have my setup for over a year now with no issues until this one.. let me know if more information is required in order to give me some guidence? your advice would be greatly appreciated.
