Did you do any water change with tap water recently? Lethbridge is undergoing warning on tap water and I also started noticing strong smell of chlorine for the last 2 days at my place (in Calgary).

looks like brownjelly to me , if thats the case you could lose some of your lps , the torches,hammers and frogs are the first to go , then brains lobos etc.

it spreads easily and could have came in on any coral that ypou bought recently.

as for the sps dying and softies closed i would think reaction to the dye off and loose jelly floating , as matt mewntioned i would run carbon very aggressively , also i would syphoin and remove any dying flesh on the lps .

lots of flow right now for a bit will help as will a fresh batch of water.

brown jelly is usually caused by a bacterial infection depending on the coral and type ive had great success with furan 2

if rtn starts to kick in for your sps then its safe to say some solid actions need to be taken or you could lose it all fast

If yuou havent been using RODI then i would suggest you do. The snow melting with all the chemicals in it may be affecting calgarys water.

Sometimes it's 11. But mostly 10. There has been one time it was at 8 in the beginning stages.

Absolutely nothing.. The only thing we've done in the last week is swap out for a bigger skimmer.

Check for smelly water coming out of your RO/DI (assuming you use one). Kien recently had this issue.

It's almost as if there is something in our tank, that is going undetected.. Which for me is hard to believe, because we test EVERYTHING every day or 2
