Across are bleaching out -Need help

[Todd13189]

Hey y'all need some help. All my acros are bleaching out and dying in the last few days. Obviously no polyp extension as well.
****All my softies are doing amazing! - mushrooms, GSP, zoas, acans, Duncans
*** Ive also been unable to get red cyano to stay away? - Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Thanks in advance

What are parameters? Any pests? Any water changes to see if it helps? Any lighting changes?

Only thing that is off is water hardness(GH) - it's a little high. - I actually moved the acro farther down in case the lighting was too strong. I'm going to do a 50% water change to see if that helps. Normally do a 10% water change like normal.

You understand that the information you are giving are only going to get you a general suggestions.

We don’t know a thing about your system or the situation other than that you have all your SPS bleaching……..

Maybe more information with photos will be helpful~

As far as lights too strong...maybe...maybe not.

Yessir, well coincidentally I’m looking for general suggestions… didn’t have time to run full test on parameters today.

And yes I’ve not had a ton of experience with sps… looking for non condescending general help/advice! But it seems like that’s all I’m going to get today.

GH… General hardness…. Lol
The amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium within a system!
Appreciate the condescending tone

Sorry to hear that Todd

I think it’s good to examine all the levels typically associated with sps.

Which sps do you have since the species varies depends on how they handle stress ?

Wasn't meant to be a "condescending tone"...I was laughing at myself because I don't know how to relate that to what I know. But anyhoo...now that that is squared away...guess I'm looking for more information to be able to help as I may be able to, provided more information. If you want help as stated...need more information.

Generally speaking, corals are very adaptive and resilent. All sps dyeing and bleacing means your tank is not yet "suitable" for sps corals. With light and flow being second to that of water chemstry, If corals are dyeing instantly when added, its likely your water chemistry is off. If it is happening over a few days or after sometimes, its likely you are having too drastic changes in your water parameters causing swings and then try to fix and causing more issues. I'll make sure your water is suitable... That can mean anything really.... And size of the tank matters when changes are being made.

Cyano usually means your having neutrient off-balance. SPS need that to be stable... (My Lps and hammers were growing like crazy when i had cyano.) bacterias and tiny living organisms need to be settled first... Meaning they need to fight it out and make sure the good guys are wining and populating... Working on getting these things fixed first may be a key. SO water changes, good fitering etc... Your sps corals probably was not ready for your treatments? of cyano likely.... All dyeing at the same time and happening constantly means, stablity and water chemestry need to be suitable...
