Hey Reefers,
I have been in the hobby for a long time now. This is a question that I maybe know but can’t explain my RTN.
My magnesium is in the high 1500 due to a bad test kit. I know mag does not effect corals that much but could it cause RTN?
I added GFO for the first time 4 weeks ago and my phosphate is .12 still . I read online that GFO could cause RTN. Is this true? It did not reduce my phosphate by that much.
I added 10 new lps heads of different kinds but did a Bayer dip and I see NO pests on the SPS. Red bugs or flatworms.
is it a bacterial thing? It’s spreading to 1 sps colony and a time. Lost 4 so far and I got some big colony's.
my one large colony was melting away when it was touching a different colony and it spread it from the touch it also touched another colony and spread it to that one now other colonies are getting it that are not touching.
here are some pics of one I pulled out today, it’s mostly gone underneath and works it’s way to the tips .
any help would be great. Should I stop GFO? Do water changes to bring down mag? Or is it just unexplained RTn
thanks
