My 75gal FOWLR seems to have a problem. My rocks coraline is little by little disappearing and I don't know what to do. At present there is only a Coral Beauty and some snails in it. Is my skimmer the culprit and what should I do?:help:

Lighting problems are usually when lights are to bright like adding MH to a tank you will see Coraline recede.

Water quality is usually the bigger issue make sure you have the basics.

SG apx 1.024
Alkalinity 7-12 dKH
Phosphates undetectable
Nitrates <5 ppm

Other things that should be fine with regular WC's are Calcium and Strontium but if everything else is ok you should test Calc

I had a bad batch of salt once where they forgot to add the Calc Suplement Ingredient to the mix.
