Sigh... Never wanted to post a post like this, but here we are. One of my colonies that's been growing for a bit more than a year decided to start RTNing from the base up this morning. Most of the colony is still healthy, but I think I need to step in before the entire colony dies. I was thinking I should frag off the majority of the colony and glue over and fresh cut edges to see if that will help. But also, if it is bacterial or ciliates or something similar, wouldn't they already be on all of the colony? Should I dip the healthy chunk that I frag off of the colony in general cure or something similar?
I am also planning on replacing my ROX carbon, not too much though so I don't cause more problems. I was also thinking of running some calcium carbonate flocculant in case there are any particles with diseased tissue floating around...
None of my other acros have any symptoms, and the only thing that could have triggered it was low alk about a month ago (opposite of alk spike from doser malfunction). Any thoughts?
