I purchased a beautiful Bushy Green acropora last week.
It was doing great in my tank (it is my second attempt at SPS from 4 months ago)
It was polyped out the entire week i have had it (not sure if it is a good or bad thing).
glowing brightly and beautifully day and night.
I was broadcast feeding phyto and zoo plankton (I usually do it anyway 2x a week).
All water parameters were perfect:
Ammonia - 0.0 - 0.5
Nitrite - 0
0 phosphate
0 nitrates
calcium 460
magnesium 1300
alk 11 (had a high ALK problem 3 weeks ago, roughly 14dKh but it got better)
I run reverse lighting in Fuge for PH stability, etc.
Last night I forgot to plug one of the power-heads back in during some maintenance and relocation of power-heads for better flow.
This morning the entire 5 inch frag with about 6 branches RTN'd out! Flesh hanging and no more glowing Zooanthellagae!!! ***...
Could 6 hours of low flow kill SPS that fast?
I am at a loss...
