Tri color acro dying from the bottom up

[HHIreefer843]

Well just like the title says, I have a huge colony of tri color acro and it seems like it's dying from the inside out and the bottom up....the ends and tips look great with good PE but the base is dead and is moving it's way north. I don't know if its a bug in there or what. I treated from red bugs a few months back and haven't seen any since...I did pull out a 2 inch black worm from the sae acro a few minus back as well I'm thinking that may have just killed the inside. I have no idea what kind of worm it was it was black and alway looked as if it was spitting with a white slime coming out of it's mouth....this is the only acro thats suffering. My params are
Cal 400-420
Alk 7 (struggling to get itup)
Mag 1325
Ph ~8.1
no am, nitrites or trates
I'll try and post some pics soon

It may be time to frag it and save whats left.

 

[HHIreefer843]

Thats what I'm thinking....crappy thing is I don't have a frag system

Can you not cut the bottom off and reglue it down?

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

yeah, if you want to save it, cut it above the dead line and reglue it.

Can I glue like 100 pieces to one rovpck and hope they with grow together?

 

[HHIreefer843]

100 is a bit of an exaggeration, probably like 10-15. I also want to see if there really is more worms in the base haha

I had a freind break a piece of stag by accident. He gave me 3 little pieces, I put them all on the same and yes they grew together.

 

[HHIreefer843]

Thanks y'all....off to the store to buy a gallon of glue!

you wont need that much glue, but I have did the same thing and glued small pieces close together on a rock and they didn't look any different than a multi-branch frag a couple months later.

He said he had 100 frags, he might need that much
