Acro tissue death

[kentofms]

What type of issue is this bleaching pattern typical of? My tank parameters are good except for pH and alkalinity being a little low. I've had good success with montis. The frag came from a tank lit with t5 and metal halides to a tank lit by leds.

At the tips is usually indicative of high Alk, though looking at the frag pictured it seems to me to be just handling damage from mounting. I always make sure to wet my fingers before handling.

As a side note, I noticed this happened after I accidentally left my circulation pump off for a night. The death radius has slowly increased, but appears to be reaching a plateau.

Cool, clean water and good flow go a long way to help a Frags survival.

My Garf Bonsai started losing tissue from the bottom up rather quickly. I can blow water on it with a turkey baster and watch the skin come off. I don't get it.

Almost always an ALK issue, but no circulation for a night can't be good either.
