hi ,sorry to see:( @KJ #reefsquad

It looks like it was already suffering from either RTN or at least STN.

How long did you have the coral in your tank? Were the stalks already white below the clump of polyps at the tips?

alevopora? am i seeing ,BJD???

We are looking at the Pocci/Stylophora right? Is the picture yesterday or today? I, too, am curious about how long you've had it.

The PO4 is really high. The other parameters seem reasonable.

Pictures were this morning. This is one of my first corals so about 4 years. I kept moving the mother around the tank and now I have them all over I sold the mother a few months ago because I have too many. Monty isn’t looking so good now.

It’s been a busy week at work I didn’t notice any RTN on Sunday.

My ALK is usually 8 not sure why it’s 9 this morning. Dosing core7 and haven’t changed dose amount.

Is there any in tank treatment for brown jelly?

 

[fishguy242]

i'm following,was it brown jelly? post params for squad

 

[CoralClasher]

This morning before I started this thread I was thinking BJD so I shut off water flow and sucked what I could out.

Mag seems a little high and are you sure salinity is accurate and not higher. I would calibrate and check again.
Nitrate up a little also.
What is phosphate reading ?

Nutrients are high probably because 18 well fed fish. A few weeks ago I started vinegar dosing. Started slow 4ml a day now I’m at 10ml a day. This morning I didn’t dose any vinegar. Phosphate is 0.46. Just recalibrated salinity still 1.026

 

[CoralClasher]

Nutrients have been high since I upgraded this tank and didn’t want Dino again so I started with no GFO or any filters.

I recently did an ICP test. Nothing looked too far off. My build thread has it posted.

What are parameters?
Any all spikes, changes in salt or salinity ?

 

[CoralClasher]

8/21 was the big upgrade. Rip clean new water and an order from IDPSF Hawaii live sand and mud. No water changes since.
