What water tests have your run? Can you post your results?

This is serious, but I have no idea what the problem is right now I am afraid.

I would head down to the grocery store for a couple 5g of distilled water, buy a new bag of salt, mix it up, heat it & aerate it in anything (5g bucket, rubbermade, spare tank), and transfer your livestock over right away.

If possible, I would have two temporary containers, one for fish & inverts, the other for corals. Try to save what you can. You can also seperate your live rock into a 3rd container, but remember everything has to be heated, and have a powerhead in it at least.

I would also run carbon right away, and any future water changes use new salt, and non-tap water.

The Galaxea turned white, it looks like a skeleton...mind you some got exposed when i drained the water...but only a tad for about 3 seconds...
Tests for water are as follows

Ph 8.3
Calcium 480 or so
nitrate 10
nitirite 0
ammmonia 0

i am confused as hell....

I wish i could runto get distilled right now, but i am on a fixed income for school....hell i can't buy more salt till next month... i have enought for 25-30 more gallons though..but thats it....

Me thinking i am defn going fish only with next tank...at least until i not so limited in funds...
tank was doing so well for 3.5 month xenia was beautiful, mushrooms were huge galaxea...was well galaxeaing...(whetever they do).....

damn damn damn damn damn
