    What type of lighting do you have? Have you checked your calcium level?


    Just a small tank...

    How often are you doing water changes? What salt are you using?

    IME, water changes fix everything that light can't. You need to provide us with more information in order to be able to tell you anything accurate.

    What is your PH?

    List it all!

    Hi,

    I would look first to your parameters, what are your Ca,Alk,Mg, Nitrites, Nitrates, Ammonia, Ph and average tank temp. You really need to have these parameters. Also make sure there is not a PH directly "drilling" it with flow. Do you have this on the sandbed or up in the rocks, the more info folk's have the better.

    Cheers,

    I would try and change the water weekly. I overdo my water changes, changing 20g per week. I do that because as a wise reefer told me "water and salt are cheap"
    I would bet you will see some improvement! Ron is right as well! If you have it in an area of flow or light that it does not agree with, you will see it!

    Have you tried ReefCrystals? I love that salt...
