This is what I asked Gumbii...
Gumbii, I have a question about my LPS.
I cant figure out why some of my acan colonies started losing tissue and died and then a scoly.
All my parameters look good and I dont read high nitrate or phosphate but i have noticed all of a sudden i started getting a lot of algae on the glass alot faster than usual.
Its weird though cuz my tanks 65 gallons plus the 10 gallons in the sump and i do a 20% water change every week.

And nope no alk swings. Ive been testing and its stood steady around 9.6 dkh.
My apex has been monitoring my PH as well and there hasn't been any drastic swings.
And nope no bleaching they just start losing tissue and the ones that still have the tissue still retain their color and puff up until their tissue starts receding too..

Go buy some strawberrys at the grocery store. Then take the lil plastic green container that they are held in, wash it real good and cover your acans. See if that helps and if they fluff up again. I've heard stories about tangs picking at acans so its a possibility.
Also 20% w/c weekly isn't too much. Its a little more than necessary but I don't see that causing any problems unless the water your adding has high tds or bad saltmix.
