    I know what ideal parameters are said to be but I'm curious on what you guys run your calcium and alkalinity at. Let me know also please can you state if its a softie tank or mixes or sps dominant tank.

    Have a mixed tank with mostly sps frags/mini colonies (a few LPS & a few softies). My target is between 8-9 dkh and 420-450ppm.. Too high of alk can cause Alk burn & RTN.

    Rapid Tissue Necrosis - The flesh /tissue starts peeling very quickly....as in a few hours/overnight the coral could be a goner.
