Hi, so my SPS tank seems to be under a mild attack of vibrio "à la Sanjay". Some of my thriving acros started to get an odd appearance of their tissue, and a few have now started to peel. It is subsequent to 3 back to back power outages which happened while at work. Since the lights were off for 4-5 hours no photosynthesis occurred during those days, but my dosers once the power came on continued dosing as usual. Which meant my Alk particularly spiked. Actually over that week, it was all over the place. I believe this was the stress which provoked the bacteria infection. So, do I just wait and see, or is there an effective " safe" antibiotic" ?
I use U.V, which might be helping since nothing catastrophic is happening, but something bad is slowly happening.
 
bump! I hope a stick head jumps in here
