Help. I came home yesterday and my water was cloudy (whitish color, not yellow), all the corals were closed up tight, and the house smelled like dead something. All the fish are alive.
The skimmer is foaming like crazy, pushed the lid off.
I did a 20% water change and am going to do another change today.
Does anybody have any ideas what's going on? Am I going to wake up tomorrow to a dead tank? I'm leaving the lights off for a couple of days in case it's an algae bloom. I"m stumped because there is no ammonia or nitrate spike. Maybe the corals are fighting each other? I added 4 new frags last week. Up to that point all my corals were all growing and healthy.
NUMBERS:
Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are all 0. PH 8.1, calcium 340; alk 8.9. Phos. .07
Tanks is Red Sea Max 250 AIO, 66 gal
LED lights by Steves Lights
Aquamaxx 1.5 HOB skimmer
Reactor for carbon and phosban
Daily 2 part automated dosing
ATO
Water is RODI, Red Sea Coral PRo salt
Livestock: 2 clowns, 2 anthias, tigerface, coral beauty, lawnmower, 6-line wrasse, royal gramma
CUC: snails, hermits, cuke, cleaner shrimp, brittle star, serpent stars, long spine urchin
