Help!!! My LPS and monitpora are dying.
hello fellow reefers, I have been in the hobby for 3years now with a Mix reef of soft, lps and sps corals. My 150gal has been up for 1 1/2 years. just 2 weeks ago my lps started looking bad. and 2 days ago. 3 of my Montipora rtn. I know that my alk has been dropping and i do a regularly water change of 30% every 2 weeks. I have also notice my skimmer broke down about a 1-2month ago, but never thought twice about. need some support and guicdance. thx

Get a new skimmer. Your nutrient levels must be high.

If alk is dropping, test magnesium, fortify with Kent mag, add calcium---more likely the alk than anything, and mg stabilizes it.
Skimmer wouldn't hurt, but your water changes should have held that off.

thx for the quick replies guys. im not sure what the cause is. for the last year, the tank has been self sustain. I minumize my mantainant to a just water change every 2 weeks and carbon every month and change out filter bag every 2 weeks too. alk is at 5dkh at calicum is at 390ppm.
