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??

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.
