Man that stinks. I hate mystery coral deaths with no apparent cause. Hope the pieces you dragged off make it.

Two of the pieces are still alive. I just hope they make it. It's funny, on one side of the tank all the corals are doing just fine. However, on the other side all the corals I try to put over there just die. I have no idea why.Man that stinks. I hate mystery coral deaths with no apparent cause.

I think it is flow. Lighting is the same across the tank. I have looked many times for parasites and I have not seen any. Don't get me wrong I'm not ruling them out, I just don't have anything to go off of. I'm starting to feel as though the Maxspec Gyres are not up to the task. I'm not getting the flow across the tank that I would like to see. I'm not looking forward to telling the wife that.Possibilities are disease, lighting or flow. Work through them one by one to eliminate each as the cause and it will help you narrow down what to look for.
Not even a sump… just a 100 gal Rubbermaid tub with a heater and a maxijet pump with a bunch of cured rock. Oh wait… that’s probably not helping you out.So I was looking at @FarmerTy form, and he posted a picture of a frag he had growing in a sump, and it has grown more in a couple of months than all the corals in my tank put tother in the last 6 months. Very frustrating. Most of my corals are still the exact same size they are just encrusted now. Clearly, I still have a long ways to go, right now I can only take solace in the fact the corals are still alive. LOL

If it’s any consolation I am as baffled about this magic tub as you are.

How would I go about testing for something like that?Rather than large parasites, I am thinking maybe bacterial issues for the corals is more likely. (If it is not flow.)
Same experience. I finally just dumped 2-3 gallons of RODI in the (concrete) floor and waited to see where it pooled.So I flooded the house again. Here's the thing, I have leak detection, and every time there is a leak the water goes right around the sensor. So I move it, and the water goes in a different direction and goes right around the sensor the next time. I wish I had taken a picture, if it wasn't so annoying it would be funny.

You stand to learn a lot this thread.Oh. And give us the gory details of how this happened. We LOVE to learn from the dumb mistakes of others. It makes us feel better about our own dumb mistakes.
I should take them out and the tank will never leak. LOLOh, and they shouldn't be called leak sensors. They should be called leak attractors!
