What to do?

 

[Sk8r]

This is a hard one...nothing in your params seems to give a clue. When operating in the dark, I'd pull a 40% water change, run a heavy dose of carbon and run polypad to see if color on the polypad indicated any metals. And if absolutely nothing else worked and I'd done all that and it was still going on, I might consider chemiclean in case there's some bacteria at work.

I run carbon 24/7 in a reactor with about 95 gph going through it. I just changed it out Sunday when I did a water change. I'll start changing out water in a few minutes and change that carbon again. Thanks for your reply sk8r!

Man, that Osmolator stuck open thats one, contaminated reserve water thats another, SPS are too sensitive, to many streses in a given time weakens the colony or death. I would frag that if I were you to be able to save some pieces or U can trasfer them to your other tank in the meantime..............PEACE

Thanks Menard!
Unfortunately what's dead is dead, nothing left to frag. The only things unaffected so far are my digitata's, valida's, stylo's, a green slimer, a prostrata, and a speciosa. I already fragged them and put the frags in another system. Atlantis pink polyp cap is gone too. Sorry...

 

[menard]

I feel your pain bud. Keep this in mind if you ever need a frag let me know. I always willing to share what I have just in case something happens to my collection...........PEACE

 

[BreadmanMike]

Menard,

I appreciate the offer! I'm going to let things settle for a long bit and try to figure out where my mistakes were made. When I have some things to offer in return I would love to trade with you.

I changed out 50 gals of water and changed out my carbon. I fragged everything I had left multiple times and will be givng them to Racenrich and poopsko24. The great thing about this hobby is there are so many willing to help when things go to hell.

 

[BreadmanMike]

Unfortunately for me, I couldn't get any frags to anyone to save. As of right now I have no acro's left. It's all gone and my SPS days are going on hold. I'm going to cook my rock for 6 weeks and set back up in my 180 this time. I'm definitely going to make some changes, hopefully for the better. Thankfully I still have my clams, lps and zoo's... soo all is not lost.
