In need of emergency water! ACROS AND HAMMERS PEELING, everything unhappy!

[Jikkermanccini]

Holy crap. Just woke up to literally everything in the tank scrunched up, and several acros a slimy and have peeled a bit. Hammers look horrible and both of my nems look totally terrible. I don't have time to make new water, but none of my LFSs are open until 11am-12pm! Does anyone know of stores that are open earlier that I can get my water from? Or has anyone got some water to spare from a mixing station?!
Thanks in advance, y'all are saving my life here!!!

I'm about to do a full range test, gimme a minute and I'll post the results

I've got 50 gallons of Instant Ocean and 90 gallons of RODI. Near 85 and Pleasant Hill.

ALL of my tests need to be replaced, they are over a year and a half old. Getting 0 phosphate, which I know isn't accurate.

Awesome, you may be a little bit too far out be we will see! Thank you!

 

[Jikkermanccini]

Here are the ones worst affected. I have a sneaking suspicion that this may be the fault of the nem...

Dang, I am in Duluth near Steve as well. I have 30 gallons of RC mixed. Good luck!

I'm in Auburn have about 10 gallons of reef crystals mixed up already and I can get more going if you need me to

One thing you need to make sure that you do. Is to stop and just breathe and think. And not do too many things at once. Pick one or two remedies and leave it at that.

Thank you so much, if nothing else comes up I'll keep you in mind. Thank you!

Anyone in the Alpharetta, Woodstock, Cumming area?

Pure Reef opens at 11, they sell salt water.

Salinity is running normal, put in some carbon for the time being. About to leave and pick up water from Pure, I'll bring a tests sample too since my tests are all old

interestingly, my linckia star is behaving normally and isn't showing any signs of stress. Perhaps it's something related to the corals themselves, and not something that would affect anything else. Still looking for possible toys or tools dropped in the tank.

Need some buffer, PH dropped and corals are near death. (ALPHARETTA)

Heyo, you may have seen my thread from earlier. The cause was identified as low PH at 7.7! I did a water change and it's up to 7.9, but my corals are not having it. Acros and hammers have lost a lot of skin, mostly in direct light, so I've dropped the intensity of the lights. Nems are closed...
