Hi, try to bring back see if I can get some more clue...
Been stop dosing everyday, then check parameter weekly for 2-3 weeks. Seems the tank required dosing 40ml for the Akl part... Looks like more white stuff....I took the rock out to shoot some pics. It looks OK with one rock, but for the whole tank , it's ugly... Shin.

Precipitated calcium carbonate does not usually look like that. More often it is just a white dusty smear.
It is a bit hard to tell in those pictures, but the growing tips of coralline algae are often white. Dead coralline also turns white. I cannot be sure that you do not have something besides an inorganic precipitate.

Thanks Randy. For sure it's not dusty.
Growing tips of coralline algae are often white. What could cause coralline grows to much.? Dead coralline also turns white. What could cause coralline turn dead? Shin. |

I agree with the seastars doing the damage to the coralline. Some may eat coral, I've heard, but the ones I have sit in one spot , while they expell their stomach thingy and consume the algae, then they move to a new spot and do it again. My Refugium has them everywhere.
