    They have already expelled bacteria.

    I have never grown a leather though they are considered among easiest but have California tort that is 6 years old and get begged for frags. I generally don't play with frag swappers.

    A1 Ok generally means system was out of range when your away or some hand waving is going on.

    1) high temps midday likely culprit.
    2) water TOO clean for mushrooms. They like dirty tinted water much like Zoanthids. You don't see many Zoanthid/SPS displays any more on reef central because they were staged tanks and people finally caught on.
    3) Test kits are giving you false info. I recommend Lamotte Alkalinity, Salifert Calcium, Salifert Magnesium, and Hanna LR Spetrometer for phosphates.
