76F is a bit low as well 79F is better and will stabilize your tank more.

You need to invest in a good test kit, it is hard to diagnose problems without knowing all your parameters. Take a water sample in to one of the better SW stores and they will check parameters for you for now.
Until you know whats happening keep doing large water changes as often as possible to try and keep toxins from building up and if you are not doing it already get some carbon in running in your tank as well. Thats all I can offer for now but I am sure some of the gurus on here can be of more assistance Good Luck Ian

Your salinity seems low (should be 1.025)
What fish and corals do you have left so to figure out if they possibly can be treated.? Maybe take a water sample to red coral and ask if they test water. Hopefully someone more experienced chimes in. Lucy

If it is flat worm you can try and get as much of the white stuff out of the tank. Do a 20% water change to alleviate the water conditions. If it does not improve the out break at least it will give you more time to figure it out. Best thing you can do is move your fish to another tank all together. If the nem dying then there is little you can do to help it out, but you can help save your fish. Does the water smell? Nems smell really bad when they die really bad.
Take a sample of the white stuff to Red Coral they may know of a couple of tests that they can do 1 would be to put some on a slide and under a microscope. One can get a good idea for a slide as to what it is if you have contacts in a lab. They can match it up to pics of slides they have on file or one could try and contact a university and ask some there if they would like try and figure it out as a lab assignment. Marine bio Lab. salinity should be between 1.023 -1.025 Temp should be no lower than 75 but should be at 78 or 79. I keep mine at 78 but has droped the 76 for a few days when it gets realy cold in my basement, It all depends on the Nem that you have. here is and artical on Nems. http://www.saltcorner.com/sections/z...s/anemones.htm Bill Last edited by bvlester; 12-10-2009 at 04:04 AM.

It doesn't smell at all, and they are round "colonies" they don't look like worms... I have already done a 10% water change 7 days ago and a 20-25% water change 2 days ago, still have high ammonia!
I will definintely take in a water sample though and if ammonia levels aren't down in the am I bought a spare tank to switch everything over if needed. I think now I just have to wait for the "Stability" chemicals to kick in and reduce the ammonia... if not, I'm lost for a solution other than emptying and cleaning the problem tank

Would over feeding Kent Marine Coral Accel cause all these problems? I thought I was on the cautious side only using it 2-3 times a week but I'm starting to question it now...
I have polyps and it was recommended to put this in my tank to help keep them healthy?
