the past month or so my corals have began to not open up, my starburst coral i would say only about half of it comes out..mushrooms dont get bigger at all like they used to, some of my pumping xenia is dying, its turning white and just dies and my polyps arent opening anymore.
i tested everything in my water, and the only thing i noticed was my alkalinity was low instead of normal so i just did a waterchange and am in the process of getting it up to normal but other then that everything was good.
only thing that has changed since i saw it starting to act weird was i dont have my protien skimmer anymore, i broke it and am in the process of getting it fixed, and im starting to have more algae growing only thing i can think of is because of the protien skimmer, i shortened the lighting cylce and that didnt help so i dunno, anyone know what would cause my corals to stop opening up?
