Even in your own troubled situation, you're thinking of others...

Im heartbroken about this Walker. How are the gonis?

Buddy I can try to put a little batch of my corals together for you. I can frag a few things that I think you would like. I need to try my hand at shipping anyway.

If you decide to take Kevin up on his cipro dosing, we can help you with the process. In tank cipro dosing saved my tank twice.

Thank you so much, John! That is a really generous offer. Most of my small Goni frags slowly died off, unfortunately. My big green one is still holding on. It comes out maybe a quarter an inch, I've done many dips but nothing so far gets them to come out.

Again, thanks for the really generous offer. I really appreciate it, but it's too much for me to ask from you. I still have plenty of corals. My stylophora, zoas, acans, acan echinata and favites are doing great. I think my duncan and hammers are goners, but like I said in an earlier post, I think my monti is going to slowly grow back. I also just got a nice new kenya tree like coral (I don't actually know what it is) and a nice candy cane frag.

Good to hear Walker, reefing is full of its ups and downs. How are the pups?

They are doing great! It's almost their 2nd b-day. They love all the snow we've been getting! We have a 2.4 acre yard for them to run around in when we let them outside and they have the time of their lives. I'll try to remember to take pictures tomorrow!

Walker,

Did you add any new LPS shortly before the trouble started? I have had an unknown disease breakout in my tank after adding a couple of Indo Torches. It took a month or two but then they started to bail. There was no BJD but I treated with Cipro anyway, it did not help it also spread to a green hammer that had previously been very healthy for years and to a small blue hammer but it did not affect the Peach Hammer right next to the green hammer or the blue torch that was also nearby. The Indo Torches died in short order and the green hammer and blue hammer are still dying but very slowly. The Indos passed many months ago. I don't have a fix just curious as I've heard rumors from others of similar experiences.

I've right now got the green hammer in my Berghia tank to clean off the Aiptasia then I plan to try to frag what is left of it and try Revive on one frag, Lugol's on another, etc. to see if any of them improve.

I did add a green hammer, maybe a month before I started noticing issues. That's interesting, I haven't heard of this before. I'm so sorry to hear about your tank as well!

What are you parameters? I'm sure this was asked and answered, but I've been swamped at work and haven't read the threads to catch up.

No worries Keith,

As of now:

Alk: 8.4
Ca: 435
No3: 5
Po4: .25

Maybe it's the nutrients? I'll try to raise the nitrate. Mag was good last time I checked a few weeks ago, and considering the all and mag, it's probably still good.

I don't remember where I ran across the issue but there was no real answer at the time, only observation of a potential issue. I pulled the green hammer today to try to clean it up and test a few frags but it looks pretty bad. Before I introduced the Indo Torches the green hammer had been growing steadily for several years from 2 to around twenty-four heads and always fully open. The blue hammer was fairly new and was growing but it was still small. I'll probably end up pulling it as well but so far, and it has been at least six months, nothing else seems to be affected. The torches looked fine for a month or two and then started to crash but it took a month or more to fully lose them. The green hammer started to look stressed before the torches were gone and then the blue hammer started a few weeks later.

Good luck with your tank.
