Unhappy

well after a solid 8 months of growth and gaining color on all my sps, it seems its my turn to have a tank try to crash on me. not really sure what the problem is but i have lost my strawberry short cake, purple monster and a couple of other sps that i don't know the name of, and a bunch of my sps are stning. not really sure what the case is my tank parameters are:


all based on the api master reef test kit
dkh 8
calcium 400
po4 non detectable
nitrate non detectable

mag 1300 based on elos test kit
salinity is 1.025-1.026 refracto meter

and have not changed a thing to the system, been running pellets from day one, rox carbon, and brs phosphate remover changed every month and been using kalk in the ato to maintain calc and alk.

i have done about 70 gallons of water change in the past 5 days but yesterday was when i saw 5 frags just stn on me seems to only hurt my sps, cause all my zoas, acans and torches are doing awesome

if anyone can give me some advice that would be great, or is this just part of the tank cycle lol

Vic that is the way SPS's are one minute you are watching them and they are great and you get up and walk away they are RTNing or STNing

Ya I just don't get it seems like all my favorites are doing shitty. Gonna do another 20 gallon water change tomorrow and see if I get some polyp extensions back. On one note all the zoas and lps are doing awesome and fish are all eating like pigs even got my lyretail anthias to start eating pellets lol
