Calcium overdose

jimnchal · 03/10/2014, 06:01 PM

I just made a grave error. I started dosing today. I used BRSs dosing calculator. The problem is I was using B Ionic. My calcium went from 400-420 up to 500. My torch corals is looking stressed, my Stylophora is closing and my chalice coral is looking deflated. Did I just kill all my coral or will they rebound? This sucks

I'm guessing that they are just stressed from the sudden change. They should rebound over the next couple of days.

I always suggest starting with only half the recommend dose, unless you are experienced with the particular product, or are a seasoned individual and are comfortable with it!
