Alevepora Coral going down hill fast?

[Joel Neal]

Ok i noticed a slight cloud in my water, Hum this has never happned? Well i said ok lets do a water change. The next day the cloud was gone, good but my alevepora dieing, along with my mushrooms closing up? Wtf i do bi weekly water changes, my filters are clean, skimmer skimming, fresh chemi-pure, all params in good order, and the cloud is back. Is it possible the alvepora is causing the cloud? If so maybe just pull it from the tank, i have already moved it to another location in the tank to see it it would help. No luck. I do not want the die off to cause problems with my water. Suggestion please!

I know alvepora are tough to keep no idea about the cloud though

[Joel Neal]

ok thanks, would you pull it from the tank?

joel,
can you get a shot of the cloud?
flower pots as a whole are prety hard to keep, very few have great sucess with them.I have not heard of anyone having one over 3 years at all...
it is possible that the cloud if the break down from the coral. but wuththe mushrooms closing also, i think some thing else is happening too. I know you are running chem.puer. you might want to add an extra sock of just carbon. if they is any chemcial warfare goingon that will help ( along with the chem pure)
as always .. what lighting , and parameters ...


at this point i dont think i woudl pull it from the tank. although i dont really see it coming back .. Have you feed it at all?

Im not sure either, but i highly doubt the alveopora is causing the water to cloud.

I also don't think the flower pot cause the cloudy water, The only time I had something like that happen was when I had a rio pump fail and melt down , The water turned milky white and all the corals closed. I lost alot of livestock, But don't really know what is happening to Your tank, Just something to check

Ok thanks for the info everbody. I Think i might have fiqured out the problem! Well one of the problems, the cloud is still a unknown but as for the alevepora and the mushrooms, i think that during the night my wall hammer is trying to provide power with some zaps from its sweepers. With the hammer extended it is too close for comfort for the mushrooms, as for the alevepora it has been relocated, but i think it is too late. Oh well u live and u learn! Thanks again.
