I added them together and knew I needed to for a chance at peace. They never had an issue with one another and became friends instantly.

In short, SPS isn't too happy. polyps aren't out on many pieces, color is faded on many. Bubblegum and Rouge are almost unrecognizable.
Stats and Info:
78-81 temp | 1.025 Sa | 450 Ca | 8.3 dKh | 1320 Mg | P04 0-0.08
5-10g weekly water changes
Small amount of biopellets, gfo, carbon in seperate reactors
2-3 small feedings per day avg. about 2 cubes worth of food.
Timeline:
03/01/14
Rock curing in garage w/ heater, bacteria. Feeding every few days.
04/05/14
Tank is wet. cured rock, lights.
5/19/14:
Most corals are in place. Moved everything over within first month (had no choice).
A few corals have not adapted well, some short term, some long term.
7/11/14
(Tank up for 3 months, most corals in place almost 2 months):
8/06/14
Bubblegum had to be dipped and cut into 3 pieces. One is already STNing.
Tort starting to go from base
Rouge not so happy. STNing

- Bubblegum slight STN, monitoring.
- Rouge is fine, lack of polyp extension (as most SPS is) but no STN'ing
- Oregon Tort , fine.

Wow, I like the software used for your light profile. Has a lot of details. Ecotech needs some tip from these guys.

Sorry to hear about your SPS. How did you measure your PO4?

Jorden, I just threw up a little in my mouth. Hope you get this figured out soon.

I know Rik. I've been monitoring it closely and trying to figure it out. My 2 oldest colonies are looking real bad in terms of color and now health.
Bubblegum is cut into 3 smaller frags/colonies
Rouge is going to get cut into 3-4 pieces tomorrow.
I'll be looking for homes for 1 piece of each the bubblegum and rouge mille to have someone keep in case I lose this battle.
Anyone with stables parameters and SPS success, PM me if close to Simi and wanting to take on a frag. Frag would be yours, I'd simply want a piece of it if I lost my colony. Local Club members preferred.

I'd help you out Jorden but I don't think I have the room.

Same here, would love to hold the frags for you but too far. Hope you find the issue, sps can be so tricky and frustrated at times.
