![]() yep that would do it. I'd recommend doing a minimum 25% water change to start with, do this this week and next. And take that bottle away from her, there are instructions on the back for dosing. Stick to them or reefing for you is going to be sad and expensive.

![]() its a secret mix of 11 herbs and spices
![]() I have no idea, I would imagine its some sort of chemical mix that reduces chlorine and chloramine to something inert as well as ammonia and nitrate. Their website says its a "proprietary aqueous solution of complexed hydrosulfite salts". Which basically means they're not gonan tell us. However something in it is a coral killer in high doses.

![]() It's super concentrated. I don't think people realize that a capful is good for 50 gallons, whereas Hagen's version (Aquaplus I think it's called) is a capful for every 10 gallons.

![]() Whats wrong is that your corals are dying/sloughing tisse, and your tank is probably trying to cycle again because of the increased ammonia? Have you checked all your parameters??
