Frog Spawn Coral Dying?

[Nano]

What are your water parameters?

[fishytime]

and your list of suspects (fish)?....

[reefer403]

Nitrates-0
Phosphate .25
Calcium is high @ 600 or more (New aragonite sand bed??)
Calcium carbonate is 8

no real suspects-
6 line wrasse
coral beauty
bicolor blenny
firefish
2 damsel

I noticed a small cyano outbreak in one corner, the branch was in this area- is this a possible culprit?

The frogspawn has literally "let go" of all its flesh on this branch

the coral beauty could be a suspect but I would lean towards the sheer number of fish you have in a relatively brand new tank.....that is quite the bioload for a tank that is only a couple monthes old....

[reefer403]

Temp is good, constant 26 degrees now that I have the A/C unit in my house.

Bioload is too big? tell me more? what is common practise? I have done my research and thought guidelines had been followed appropriately. Started with the 2 damsel. Then 3 weeks later added the blenny, firefish and coral beauty.

Just added the wrasse 4 days ago.

Only one new fish in last 5 weeks.....is this too much?

Thanks

How do i lower calcium when none has been added? It is just from my aragonite sand bed I figured. Have not dosed with anything. Regular water change every 7 days with RO/DI
Top off fresh water to keep at 1.024 daily

if your tank isnt too large a few hefty water changes will bring you back down

im still thinking theres some water quality issues , theres new sand added to your tank just recently??

[reefwars]

i read your only other post and it says temp is getting high....how high???


parameters are out of whack also, explains the cyano could also explain the coral death.


what are you adding to your tank???
