![]() 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??

![]() only time will tell. I'd do another 20% water change on Saturday. run some carbon in a filterbag. then the waiting game begins. I don't know what that pic of the coral on the sandbed is but the leather might recover, they can sometimes be cranky bu then perk up.

![]() It will help the corals.
What happens is the tanks chemistry changes over time and elements important to corals get exausted. A water change helps replenish these elements and removes waste from the tank. |
