Tank has been up almost two years... Nice big SPS colonies.. Got a Calcium reactor a while back cause I just couldn't keep up with the tanks calcium consumption. Was letting my controller monitor PH of reactor and add CO when PH got to about 6.9 to keep PH like 6.5. Worked good for a bit... But as the summer kicked in, I got very busy at work, and the Cal Reactor push my KH to 15 or higher. I lost every single frag I had. Some from Rocky Mountain... Dont even want to think about $ lost. Pieces would start bleaching from the bottom and get worse everyday. I've since stopped using the reactor and its been about 6-8 weeks with perfect water conditions. But, Im still losing pieces and I cant stop it. My larger pieces are starting to bleach out and I dont know what to do.. After two years of giving every free waking minute to my tank, Im about to be out of this hobby all together. I need help.... I've read of similar guys online who described the exact same thing happening and list the only new thing to the tank was a cal reactor. So, Im at a loss... If you have any ideas or anything that could help me at all it would be much appreciated...Thanks...

the damage is done, once your alk dips super low below 5 or goes super high above 15 you will be lucky if any survive. The one most important test is dkh, if you dont test anything else test dkh.
