so i was having problem with two of my more senstive corals and for the life of me i couldn't find out why. i checked the water and all of the test came back normal, same water qualty as when it was thriving, i did a water change anyways hoping that would help. my area is hot so i thought the extra heat might do it so i started cooling it down with blocks of ice didn't help. i was perplexed. so in a schedule cleaning of my equipment i found the problem, my powerhead had a metal bar that keeps the spinning thing in place had rusted releasing all sorts of goodness in the water. im writing this so other people remember to check their equipment and dont have to see there beloved corals die before their eyes for no apparent reasons. my corals are doing better today and hopefully as fast as they died they will come back.
