December 2018 , for no reason all my acro started to bleach , after talking with one of best tankwizards here in Holland he told me it could be an infection with a virus calles vibrio.
It startet in the middle of my tank and like a oil stain it went through the whole tank killing all the acro sps in 2 weeks time
At first i was ticked off and wanted to throw the towel in the ring , my better half told me to wait for a few weeks and reconsider.....

Luckily you didn’t, looks great!

 

[Jack Ravensbergen]

So i restocked the tank with only Montipora beacause they were not infected by the virus...
This is how the tank looks now....

 

[Jack Ravensbergen]

No worries....
