Spoke to soon. I noticed the Orange Cap is turning white in the middle. Its not sand or salt as used a turkey baster.

Caps are resistant, I hosed mine with h2o2 and bleached it and it came right back

You may wanna break off pieces to save it. That white part may be gone. But like art @art13 said, in the past I have had pieces bleach out on me and come back

agree with above I think you be ok and it should bounce back just try to get your numbers stable and not jumping all over.

Still having calcium issues. I have not dosed any Calc and have performed 3 water changes. The calc is staying around 550ppm and am not sure what to do now.
Any suggestions? Alk is at 7 right now. Only been adding some Alk and Mag nothing else and not often.

 

[art13]

Water changes and coral uptake are the only things that would lower it.

So I guess a massive WC is required now.....sheeesh

If everything is looking good, I wouldn't do a large water change. Just continue doing normal water changes and let it come down slowly. No more dosing calcium until it is needed.

Nothing massive, it would be too much too quick, 15-20% each time 2-3 times a week
