    So something went wrong in my tank. I've tested the water seascapes has tested it and we can't figure out what is wrong. Only three or four of my coral will open. So I want to drain it clean it and start over. Is there anyone around the Des Moines area that has a spare tank setup that would hold them for me during this process. Since no one knows what is going on I don't think you would want to put it into your good tank. I have probably 20 pieces most are just small frag plugs some are on rocks. I really don't know what else to do at this point. So.....is there anyone out there willing to help.

    How long ago, any bleaching or browning? No expert but sometimes something as simple as a temp surge (up or down) can piss coral off for several days. You would never notice this with water tests. Could have happened with a water change.

    They are in good hands, let me know once the tank is back up. I got a few corals I could thin to help on the rebuild.
