Yes I did one (26g) before I left and set another up for tonight just before I left. I'm just waiting for lights out in 30 minutes.When in Doubt......Water changes, Water changes
Jackie, so sorry for the losses and hope you are on the mend. When SPS coral colonies RTN like you are experiencing, your best hope is to frag them. I know how devastating it can be to lose corals that have taken months and years to grow out, but those frags you save can be hardier and with time and care can grow back into thriving colonies.My all my corals were growing fantastic until the outage... I know it unbalanced the alk ... but the whole tank looks awful. But if I frag these pieces they don't stn yet the main Colony does... makes no sense to me
Thank you. Most of the lps have bounced back (lost a wellsi and favia) and only a couple of acros show no sign of damage so far. Most are damaged and some of the frags from the damaged ones didn't make it either. My frag tank is not big enough to hold as many corals that I have. I am manually dosing and need another dosing unit since I can't keep up with the daily uptake... I'm trying but the tank is too small for so many SPS. It is only a 20L.Jackie, so sorry for the losses and hope you are on the mend. When SPS coral colonies RTN like you are experiencing, your best hope is to frag them.

Lol or don't freak out and do massive water changes just because you smell dying coral after a power outage!
I always hate to see coral like this. But keep those parameters in check and they will start recovering in no time! Funny how both of us went thru issues recently bit it seems we are both on the up and up.
The lesson from this? Keep better track of our parameters haha
I'm sorry to hear thisThis is really heartbreaking and depressing... the kind that makes you want to tear it down....[emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24]
Thank you Justin. Me too but ATM I don't see it. I see all my acro colonies dead and what few are left are dying. The milli's and pocilloporas are all dead, 90% of the stags, all the torts all gone or might as well be. Pretty much all I have are 2 birdsnest and most of the montiporas. Some of which are very damaged. Lps still seem to be bouncing back. In 1 week po4, no3, alk, ca jumped - most I am thinking due to a combination of little uptake from the living and leaching from the dying/dead. Water changes don't seem to be helping a whole bunch. I have shut the doser down temporarily until I'm done with water changes to keep the numbers from skyrocketing anymore. I'm going to be testing daily now.I'm sorry to hear this
I hope it turns out to be a blessing in disguise
