- Whats up guys in this video I show you how the reef tank has been doing for the last couple months. Wish I could say better but I have lost a LOT of coral for unknown reasons. If you guys have any suggestions let me know.

Send in an ICP test
Good idea!
Salifert test kits are easy and quick especially for potassium Red Sea is pretty quick for iodine but a nightmare for potassium ok
This is why you call a “Keeping it Real” update👍🏾👍🏾. Thanks for sharing
Appreciate it man thank you!!
Bubble algae can do that for sure
Yah bubble algae is terrible.
Lower your sights man. Your tank is great :)
Had this issue but with lps , do a icp test to double check , I found that heavy metals can cause this sort of problem, check for ferrous items in your aquarium like magnets or cracked heaters , hope this helps
Little tip that might help, run polyfilter to pull any unwanted contaminants like heavy metals
Huh, Yah I found one magnet that was starting to rust, but nothing else really, could there be heavy metals in 0TDS RODI water? Other than that there isnt much else.
@@EagleAquatics hi , definatly if theres rust in the aquarium that can elevate unwanted heavy metal levels which will irritate sps , could be causing your issue , mine was a simple cloth peg , holding a media bag to my sump baffle, the spring rusted and caused all my lps to eject from there skeletons , not saying this is your issue for sure , but I ran a icp test and it showed heavy metal levels, the rest of my parameters where bang on , as soon as I ran polyfilter it removed the metals and my corals started to bounce back and solved the problem, and to your question about rodi , if the tds is 0 then no there will be no metals in there , also check your door hinges as if they rusty this can affect your tank water to lol , good luck, if all your parameters are in check and nothing changed with your flow or lighting then its something poisoning your water , run polyfilter as a safe bet to remove any hidden contaminants you cant test for , I hope this helps mate , love your videos by the way , let me know how you get on
Ok cool I will definitally throw a poly filter in there and see what happens thanks a lot for all the info, huge help!!
@@EagleAquatics no worries let us know the outcome buddy
Please post more media
Ill try but time aint on my side lol
Check salinity. Could be too low, as basic as that.
Did that, its at 1.024
Keeping it real , thank you
Not a problem thanks!
So sad haven’t seen until now let me know when u r ready to frags
Yah it majorly sucks man, at this point im just trying to keep the fish alive until we move to a new house my dad is building next year. Then im gonna completely rebuild it and start from scratch hopefully.
Still looks better then my tank😂 keep up the good work!
haha thank you!
You’re on the right track. Running super low nutrient tank is thought on coral especially SPS. There has to be a happy medium, hopefully you’ll find it
I know I have not uploaded since because of college reasons, but I have found the sweet spot in the tank but sadly have lost almost all my coral since that incident, hoping to restart the tank when we move next year. The tank is still running and I still have LPS and all the fish but I have to restart it because bubble algae took over all the rocks.
I hope everything turns around for you, tank still looks good 😎
Thanks!
Have you tested your potassium and iodine and iron and other trace elements they are very important you know just thought I'd mention it for your mate hope it helps
I have not nor do i have test kits for those, I will look into it.
I'm dealing with same thing. I've been dosing NeoPhos but it's not helping. I have this brown dust all over everything and now I have to remove a bunch of hair algae. Did a blackout which helped cleanup a lot of the brown powder and algae but it's coming back and phosphate is still at 0. Hope things turn around for you though. I moved a bunch of frags to frag tank to save them but lost all of my sps, my chalice, & my Cyphastrea.
Thats crazy so i guess that is the problem with my tank, im glad im not the only one with this problem
@@EagleAquatics Seriously. I couldn't find anyone having same problem and then I saw this video. Keep me posted if you find a resolution and I will do the same.
Cool I will for sure
Sorry to hear about the coral. I know you will find a way to solve this problem.
I think I found the problem and am working to resolve it.
Bout damn time lol
hahaha time is not on my side my dude lol
Oh man. If it helps, coral food and greens can help get phos up.
The blue guy is still trying. I have faith it will come back... BTW I will take great care of it while its recovering lol
Yah im gonna start feeding them tomarrow
haha I think he will come back we will see.
Amino acids could help bounce the corals back
For sure
Low no3
I was wondering what it could be but if my candy cane coral dies 1st over sps or any other coral for that matter I automatically know something is wrong and a 50% water change would happen ASAP. This Sucks when it happens and U can’t pinpoint it hopefully what’s good comes back. Coraline looks amazing do u do water changes
I have been doing water changes once ever other week forever, Lately though I have been doing them once a week. It seriously stumped me when I seen my candy cane corals die and frogspawn. Coraline still grows like crazy!
Eagle Aquatics I do them once a week. I can almost swear by it, but I know many guys sps dominated and the don’t do water changes. Maybe 3 times a year tops.
Thats crazy, I was trying to get to once per month.
Its funny that you posted this, something really similar just happened to me. My tank has been running for around seven months and just in the past week or so my Clove Polyp died/is dying, half my sinularia tree coral is gone, not sure if the remnant can recover, Polythoas are all closed up and shrunken, the only ones still looking good are the St. Thomas Mushroom and GPS.
I also thought that low nutrients/nitrate were always better, but people on online forums have suggested the same thing to me, that they might be TOO low, which i'll admit I didn't know was possible lol.
At the same time though I actually had a nitrate spike, which i'm pretty sure was a result of one of my Turbo snails dying, and i'm not sure how that has played in with everything. Maybe it was the suddenness of the rise which did it?
All of my other fish and invertebrates seem to be doing fine though.
Overall i'm really not sure what to do, I hope your tank recovers though.
You are literally having the exact problem as I am. Its crazy isnt it, I hate not being able to do much about it and watching all your hard work fall apart it truly sucks!! Im currently trying to raise phosphate so I would try that also if I were you, who knows we shall see i guess.....
@@EagleAquatics I know! I don't have that many corals (which I guess is really a blessing at this point), but I still spent a few hundred on them and it is so frustrating watching everything fall apart in days. I even took my water in to a guy at my LFS I trust and he admitted he didn't really know what could be going on. I'm still very much a novice and I totally could have screwed up something, I just wish it was more obvious.
I'll also try raising phosphates, thanks for that suggestion. By the way, do you remove corals that are looking bad? I want to see if they might recover, but I also don't want to let them die in there and worsen the parameters.
Definitely remove them if you can and have a separate system for the to go into if not just leave them, i had multiple die in my tank and parameters didnt change, also run a lot of carbon. Get a good phosphate tester also like a salifert or hanna. Good luck!
@@EagleAquatics Thanks! Hopefully this situation can be resolved with my remaining corals still alive.
Same exact thing happening to me. Month 7 & 0 Phosphate too.
Oh god No...... stop !!! how old is this video? Man, please don't, just stop.
