Hello fellow reefers, im 5 months into the hobby I’ve been testing parameters regularly but just recently after a 20 gallon water change on my 75 gallon my alkalinity went from 7.5 to 9.8 used the same salt everything the same but shortly my hammer coral, goniopora, candy cane and some zoas that were all doing great fully closed. Just some advice as to what to do please. My sand starfish also died shortly after, Thank you
also feeding corals with reefroids and brightwell amino acids 2-3 times a week.
