Need some advice

mtaswt · 01/03/2013, 05:55 PM

Beyond the basics I just don't know what to do! My tank seems to be on the verge of a crash! Over the past few days I've been losing some of my SPS. I haven't added new corals so I doubt pests are an issue, but I have added a tiger tail cucumber but even it looks fine. All my parameters are in line and haven't swayed from the norm. They have been bleaching but not all of them. Any ideas from the experts? How do I check for stray voltage? I'm running T5's and they might be at the end of their life but would that cause me to lose coral at such a rapid pace? Please give me some ideas! They are all appreciated!!!
