![]() 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. |

![]() I put a couple new threads in the pictures forum recently.
Everyone does water changes differently, like; weekly, every two weeks, monthly, ect. Every tank is different, every hobbiest is different. You'll have to find out what works for you (time and effort wise) and what works for your tank (health of corals and fish) That's it. Christy is right; do larger and more frequent water changes now, to get your tanks corals back healthy, and after that - figure out what water change schedule works for you. |
