      Corals won't open!

      Need help guys mite of overdose the tank. Corals been closed about 3 weeks already. Anyone have about 20 gallon of salt water that's established? Can take it off your hands when you do a water change. Please let me know. That will most likely fix the problem. I have been doing water changes every week also on the tank 5 gallons. Nothing is dying but they look upset.

      Adding someone elses water wont make it right exactly depending on what they keep their parameters at best thing to do is small water changes daily or so to reduce the excess . Have you tested the oarameters yet to see whats the issue exactly?

      Oh no
      Stay away from scripps
      Do at least a 30% water change and check your water parameters

      If you have already done many water changes, the corals might be stressing over the constantly changing conditions?

      +1 test the water and report your current parameters, otherwise we can only guess.

      Corals are not dying yet. Starting to open up a little not much, but they are alive. Anemone is open well now.

      What did you dose with? I'd say a steady regimen of water changes twice a week of matching parameters to before and let time do its thing. Don't want to change too much too fast. Given the amount of livestock i don't think you needed to dose to start with but just food for thought.
