bubbling tissue

[swnoob]

What's going on with my Hawkins? Previous threads have linked this type of bubbling to dosing unequal amounts of alk/cal or high mag. Neither of those occurred in my tank. I was running a calcium reactor 6 months ago and my ph would average around 7.6-8.1. I thought low ph was the cause so I switched to 2 part dosing to get my ph up to 8.4 and I still hasn't gone away.

Not all of my sps are affected. I would say maybe 15% of 90+ frags are affected.

All parameters are steady

Ca 420
Alk 7.5
Mag 1350
Pot 400
Nitrate 5
Phosphates .02

I have had bubbling in acro tissue a couple times. The cause is unkown, possibly an infection. If the bubbles do not burst so the skin starts peeling away, it ican just go away and the acro could be completely fine. If it pops starts to peel that's a bad sign, chop it off an inch or more from the pealing site, I've had some survive and some not.

I haven't had any loses due to the bubbling but it doesn't go away. At times it's not as bad but i feel it stuns the growth on the affected pieces.

How long did it take for the bubbles to go away after you first noticed?

Thanks

I wouldnt worry about growth just as long as it survives is the main thing. Some took a couple weeks to a month. Ive also had it return to the same peices before. How long has it been?

i first noticed it 9-10 months ago.
