Back again with the very troubled tank. Following recent threads of mine posted, most of the problems I've observed have been fixed thanks to the communities pointers. However for only a very short time. Stability is the main goal in this system and I work very hard to limit change in the parameters. The only problem I still run into and have been since the beginning is keeping any sps. Every frag I've ever put in can last for a few months down to a couple days. I've never once observed STN or RTN, I see more so a full body base to tip degeneration of tissue where brown algae then takes over the exposed skeleton. The big mystery is what could be causing it, and I'm hoping the hardcore acro magicians here can give me a few pointers on how to stop this once and for all. I really appreciate if you've made it this far in my quick rant, this is definitely the most disappointing thing I've ran into being in the hobby.
