I did a tank transfer about 4 months ago and brought over half my live rock and all corals at around the 2 month mark, since then I have been losing colony after colony of SPS to a slow RTN and now I am losing some euphllyia corals to what looks like brown jelly disease. I have already lost one complete torch, three heads off of my dragon soul and a few heads of my hammers that I was able to salvage (cut affected heads off followed by Lugols dip). Now a week later my chalices are starting to recede. All fish have gone through quarantine before being placed in the tank so could only have gotten it from the rock I brought over from previous tank at first I thought it might be just an imbalance in bacteria but now am unsure so have been dosing Microbacter 7.
I think my issue is bacterial. This is all a guess based off symptoms and assumptions. I have no idea what it could be, if theres any others theories please let me know so I can keep researching.
At this point I am looking at starting to dose Cipro. Is there any risk to dosing the entire water column vs a hospital tank/frag tank (280 Display 50 Gal frag 70 gal sump 40 gal Refugium). I am still awaiting results of an ICP test to see if the issue is chemical or not. I will attach pictures in the morning when the lights come back on.
