I suggest moving your monti higher up to an area with more flow. It seems like your plate is on a piece of rock, I would suggest placing it on the sand bed with moderate to low lighting.

And your cup coral looks like it going to cmi soon. It seems that its getting too much light. Maybe you can take a better picture?

[Deron Ng]

What lights you are using?

Do your para fluctuate?

[doc99337]

I am using maxspect r420 16k.

I think my para are quite stable

Before my plate coral is in sand bed before it became like that. I think I disturbed it a lot specially when cleaning.

I will try all your sugestions thanks.

whats the size of your tank and lighting hours.

did you disturb your sand bed alot when you did the clearing?

[doc99337]

I normally vacuum it once a week during water change. My tank is 3x2x2.

Your KH is low. Try to maintain around 8 to 9. Your MG try tobring above 1320

I think ur led light is the cause I am also using maxspect, i tried to go 50 percent white and 80 percent blue. One of my brain coral bleached within a few hrs. Imo if u r only keeping lps. U may want to never exceed 60 percent. I had fairly good success with a:30 b:60

Good point.

Thanks for the advices. I will try and experiment. Though I think I cannot save the cup coral.

I have these corals for more than 10 months, then slowly it is becoming like this. Not sure what causes it. The open brain suddenly didn't open and now bleaching. My other open brain is doing fine. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Bro of all your water parameters, care to share the salinity?? Are you using RO/DI with salt mixed or natural seawater from LFS? My LPS perished while soft corals r ok. I realized my salinity keep decreasing until 1.019 as I am using seawater from LFS. I took the salinity measure of the LFS seawater and is 1.015. I discussed with Ken from madpetz and he told me using seawater is ok but must increase the salinity cos now is monsoon season and the seawater collected by LFS are low in salinity.

[doc99337]

My salinity is 1.023. I am also using RO/DI with salt mixed red sea pro. Do 10% water change every week. Thanks for the information. I have to consider this as part of my learning curve.

Someone from lfs told me to try seawater. But having difficulty for transportation.

I am moving towards RO/DI instead of seawater cos most LFS seawater no3 is quite high as 25 ppm and also when Pasir Ris LFS move difficult to transport 3 x 25l containers. If keeping sps, is better to use RO/DI.

Hi bro, can you share your wave flow. This is very important too..

Do you smell what my tank is cooking..

[blackcell]

Can you take a picture of your whole tank ?

Bro, if this continue, u may want to do a major water change reliable, nsw . Try Steven from lck. Been using his water since day one. All lps superbly well. None of my lps perish using his water..
