Hey reefers.
So im seriously about to throw in the towel on this tank. Its has been issue after issue. Specially with corals, particalary SPS. They do decently for about a week maybe two , they even throw growth tips thenn.. POOFF the start to deteriorate . They eventually start showing burnt tips, and stn from base, and at time RTN. I just don't know what to do, no what it could be. Im seriously considering throwing the towel. LPS seem to do very good, specially zoas and a hammer i have. Parameter have been very stable and consistent . I have Checks for pest, and cant seem to find any . Only a gazillions pods arround frags
