NEED HELP BEFORE EVERYTHING DIES

[Pass12345]

Whats causing my Euphilla to retract into the skeleton, and not come out fully. (Very Unhappy) Peramiters are GH 180, KH 40, PH6.0, NO2 0, NO3 20, Am 0, Temp 78, Salinity 0.026

You were moving a little fast in video please provide photos also for people to help did you make any changes recently exp. Water change? What are you testing ph with?

 

[Pass12345]

Did a water change to try and fix this problem, didn’t help. PH test strips

Check photos please.

 

[fishguy242]

Have you dipped to check for pests ?
Sorry looks like could be EEFW...

 

[Stephen8169301]

Check photos please.

Most look really angry just don’t do anything too crazy most of the time as scary as it can be worst decisions come at times when your most worried

pH is 6.0? Are you sure? That’s far too acidic for marine organisms, and can certainly be playing a role (and can be an indicator of other problems as well).

What is eefw?

 

[Stephen8169301]

A ph test strip is not a good way to check

Not that literally just dipped 6 of them and only 1 worm came off

@F i s h y @Lost in the Sauce @MERKEY ?

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

how long have you had them? When did they start retracting?
What kind of light and flow do you have?

 

[Stephen8169301]

Would flat worms effect all at one time I would think no imo I feel that would happen over time one at a time not all at once

There is a definite error - I do not believe your pH could be 6. The KH should. be between 6 and 8 - not 40. I do not think it's chemically possible to have these parameters in a reef tank.

 

[Stephen8169301]

What test kits are you using?

 

[MnFish1]

It makes no difference - the test kits do not explain his problems. The tests may be erroneous - but they cannot measure at the numbers provided. More information is needed - and I would do a large water change with fresh mixed water. EDIT - Just so everyone understands - I'm not sure it's possible to have a KH of 40 and a pH of 6 in an aquarium. So - in this case - I meant merely that the tests are not compatible - and can't explain the issue. He needs 'accurate, correct' tests. Then it's possible to comment IMHO.
