Yep, just turned on an extra power head to give surface agitation and placed a carbon pad in front of it. Good call! Yeah it was definitely something in the water. Unfortunately, such poor water conditions gave my red sea sponge a turn for the worse and the entire base and then roughly an inch from there up is pure white and spreading. =\ I sadly think it is beyond saving, but sadly, sometimes things like that happen in our reef tanks, and will soon be replaced with another coral of some form if it does indeed deteriorate.
