Default Re: Dying inverts, NEED HELP!

how often to you do water changes. if your not doing them often enough then you could be low on iodine. inverts shed their shell or molt, and if the iodine isnt at the right level, it is harder for them to molt. proper iodine will also help mushrooms, but as said earlier they can live on basic spectrum lighting. i would add coral-vite, coral accel, and EE (esential elements) to your tank as recomended. if your not using these get them right away. they are all made by kent, and coral accel is really good for your softies. feed that daily depending on stock!! also check you pH and SG. pH is huge and should be checked daily if you could. it helps bying a refractometer. its a digital reader and is accurate. this makes life easy. also SG is another important level to check. if you lost a lot of water then it will be to high. if its too loo then your corals could be suffering for this reason. a lot of things to check and post all the info. the more the better. we need every number that you read on your test kitsl. API master test kit has always worked well for me also
