That swing shouldn't have done anything. Maybe a slight bit of stress, but all living creatures get stress everyday.

What happened to you water circulation in that time?

The pump/overflow and skimmer were still running hooked onto my next door neighbor hydro. The red sea wavemaker was unplugged for about 5 hours, so I had no powerheads running.

I don't know what could of happend? Nothing changed. I did not add anything to the tank. All we did is upgrade the main service on the house and add a sub panel in the fish room. The fish seemed a little freak out when everything was turned back on... I will test all water parameters when I get home. Beside the BTA not looking hot, My Anthelia is not looking good and the GSP are not extending their polyps. Everything else look fine.

I am also making salt water, getting ready for a water change.

Tony,
You were right, I tested for Magnesium last night.... 1080 Wow ! Calcium was also low 380. I am currently bringing this up slowly. I should hopefully see an improvement within a few days.

Thank you guys for your assistance. I don't usually test Mag since my water changes are frequent enough but with the house renos the tank has been neglected a bit. Time to catch up on things.
