needing some SPS help

Hey hey


So I'm looking for some feed back on some SPS issues I've had in the past month or two with one of on my large SPS colonies.

I noticed this after my doser has stopped working and my Alk dropped.
As the picture shows the coral should be a deep green but I have had a lot of the large parts turn to a light blue and looks to be dying. If i was to pinch the tips of these parts they would disintegrate between my fingers.

Any thoughts would be welcome!

As of the other day ( i didnt have my doser running for a week due to lack of chemicals)

Alk 5
Calc 450
Mag 1400
Salt 1.027/28
temp anywhere from 76f-80f

As of now I have clipped most of these parts off in hopes they will start to grow new and become healthy again. Also I don't have any issues with another coral as far as I can tell

Im no expert but if your #s are correct your Ca and Alk are way out of balance and S.G a bit high IMO

+1 to saltfan, your alk should be around the 8 mark and SG at 1.025. Get them back to normal and you should be good, do it slowly though!

Need to bring the Alk up, SPS like really stable water paramters.
