Ive had my system up and running for well over two years. I upgraded my tank from a 55 to a 125 about 7 months ago but all water, sand, LR, coral, fish, media, macro etc went into the new tank so its essentially the same system from the original 55 but much larger. I keep a mixed reef mostly SPS though. I started keeping sps about a year ago. I recently traded a bunch of zoas and a few lps for 9 sps frags. Everything was well for about 4 days and all of a sudden things are falling apart, literally! Every new sps frag that I got has STN. They were all drip acclimated, dipped for pests, and placed on the sand-bed. The STN has spread to three other frags that were also on the sand-bed, which have been in the tank about a month. So far none of my other sps colonies that are well established are showing any signs but im worried this can spread. I have never had to deal with anything like this, in fact for the majority, most of my coral has always done very well for me. I have no idea how to treat or correct this issue. Im becoming severly disheartened because it seems like overnight my tank is falling apart. None of my zoas, softies, lps or any other corals are showing any signs of stress or decline in health. I tested tonight and my parameters are as follows: nitrate-0, phos- .04, cal-470, alk-9.8, mag-1380, ph-8.2, SG- 1.025, temp 78.6. I run 8x54watt t5ho. Any more info can be happily shared upon request. Please share any help, suggestions, and or information you can. Thanks a ton -Greg
