My frog's spawn that melted was the ones under the most light and the others seemed ok this happened when i dosed B-Ionic to raise my alk my ph went through the roof too quickly in the process.Are you doseing anything?

Same thing happened to me and WC's did not help. I upgrade my skimmer and the ones that lasted are all opened up again.

Check your skimmer

Why do you think the skimmer had something to do with it?

 

[Aqua Pro Builder]

do you have a temperature control devices like chiller/heater? Is there a sudden temperature rise? For zoa to melt in one day, there are couple possibilities:
1)temperature too high
2)ph too high
3)brown zoa diease

Did you do anything abnormal such as dosing vodka , cal additive ....?

I believed it was my skimmer because the WQ checked out fine and WC did not help - within a week of hooking up a VG skimmer they zoas came back
