that lighting is the viper k2 metal halide system, its fairly inexpensive and can be found almost anywhere

hey guys, i havent been posting too much latey. but this is a bit of an emergency. last week i got some magician zoaS, another zoa rock, some clove polyps and a royal gramma, they have been in the tank for 10 days and all was fine until yesterday. i got home from being away for 3 days and noticed that my corals dont look good (yes my whole tank) the xenia is turning dark brown and has a large whit bump on it. every zoa frag in the tank other than my eye of rah is fully closed and appears to be dying, my frogspawn is very thin, the mushroom appears very frail and weak, my acan appearss to be dying as well. the only things still doing okay is a small clove polyp frag, my GSP, my xmas favia and the eye of rah zoa. (both fish are doing fine)
paramaters:
Nitrates: 10
nitrites:0
salinity:1.025

the water was not low at all, i added a bit extra water before leaving to avoid having a high salinity. i just brought my water to the LFS to get tested and they said everything was perfect.
i love the lamp, its perfect for me. should i post pics?

does the blue hornets have white spots on them?
natesreef1997
Member
no, the white spot you see is just the top of the zoa

it turns out that my mom turned up the a/c to 85. meaning it was 85 in my tank. not good probably the reason behind this.
