Live rock

[anthony27]

I have noticed tonight that my live rock has some white spots on it, and it seems to be loosing the coral line algie on it, what do I do. I am adding water to the tank with the rodi (about 1 gallon per day) to keep the water level up and I am also checking the ph which is 8.2 and the salt levels which are 1.025. I am adding no trace elements at all and I am supposed to be looking to purchase some live rock this weeekend. Please advise so I may buy the right treatment to add to the tank. I still have the origional pad in the tank for the past month. :irked: Please helpppppp

pad what pad in the tank? And what are your calcium and alk levels?

How long has your tank been running? Assuming that is brand new and still cycling since your going to add more live rock it could just be die off, it will come back eventually.

I have the origional filter pad that has been running in teh tnak for over 3 months now. I have chemi pure on top of it. The tank is cycled out the water is over 9 months old and i took the water from the guy i bought it form. The fish are doing great the levels are good I have no spikes at all. I have green algie on the glass very little thought.

you are probably very low on calcium. is that right you have not done a water change in 9 months? This is why your elements are depleted. Start doing some weekly water changes with calcium rich salt, such as coralife or reef crystals.
