Birdsnest Bleached out in one day (1 Viewer)

[GAW]

I looked at this last night and it seemed fine, but tonight I saw this and freaked out a little. All of the other corals are fine execept for birdsnet. My params seem to be in check and nothing has been added as well

is the tank dKh stable? how about flow - any change in the flow strength/direction to this birdnest, eg. plugged powerhead, or powerhead was accidentally turned to a diff angle that the bn doesn't get as much flow any more? if you parameters (dKh, temperature..) stable and flow is good then it should come back. You can also try to move it to another location.

dang...i would check your dkh. keep that stable! your xenia can also be stinging it. i see that you have cyno too. brush it off before the bn is gone.

thanks I will re-check the dkh when I get home this afternoon...

As far as the flow nothing has changed in several weeks.

About the Xenia I thought it was not aggresive.

my dkh is 7.5

I think thats a little low

yeah that's a little low. Add some baking soda to bring it up to 8-9. the xenia shouldn't hurt your corals.

Thanks for the tip on baking soda, i will read up on it
