ok my reef tank is having major problems. the heater i bought for the tank was bad and the tank was 90 degrees when i got up. my beautiful field of pulsing xenias is in major meltdown i have done water changes I have suctioned out the ones that were totally desintagrating. my nitrates are now high but i have done major water changes and they have not come down. alot of my xenias are losing their heads I took a handful of plants out of my other tank and put them in there to help with the nitrates i am thinking i should go to the petstore and get some nitrate absorbing stuff for the tank. and my main question i have metal halide lights should i put the pc back on while my tank is recovering from this problem. is the metal halide going to be hard on the xenias while they are struggling to survive
