Dont worrie sometimes it will die off if its a new tank and come back. What is your calcium content and what type of lighting do you have?

snipe i have basic lighting , 15 watts im not sure what my calcium is , but i know my alk is high and the water is hard , i just finished my cycle , my ates are at 30 ites ammonia 0 i just did my 20 percent water change using RO that helped the alk a bit but the water is still hard and i believe the alk is still high , will the die off on the rock start another cycle , because i have 2 clown fish ready to go in the tank they are in quarantine right now , because i want to get the alk and hardness where it should be any suggestions ??

15 watts seems really low... how big is your tank?

Better lighting would be best for growing coralline. I had 2 15W flouro's on my tank never really did anything. Then I got my PC and now it is taking off like no other. Test your calcium if your alk is high and your water is hard (over 8.4) then to mutch calcium isnt good keep it in the 425 max range.
