My large purple poccipora was the first to go. About 40% of it had the loose flesh coming off the skeleton one day, and then the next day that part was totally dead skeleton. The third day, it was 90% skeleton, st which tine I just pulled it out. The colony war the size of a large softball. That same day, I noticed my pompeii birdsnest about 50% dead coral, and the next day, it was totally white. Now, my large tri color valida is starting to turn white in the middle the colony. Some of my other corals doesn't seem to be affected, or aren't showing signs yet. But I'm doing water changes every 2 days and running gfo to help.
I didn't test the po4, but knowing ones tank, you pretty much know when something is off. I did test my alk and mag and cal, and ask those numbers are my normal readings. And for the last week, the ole lady has been feeding my tank for me. I usually don't feed nothing but spectrum pellets, but lately, the tank has been getting a nice serving of mysis and brine shrimp, on various parts of the day. I initially noticed my corals weren't as open and colorful...then I noticed an increased growth of algae in my sump/fuge. That's how I noticed the levels were creeping up.
I thought so too...I've noticed my monti plate to be browning out the last 2 weeks or so. But I thought the po4 could be contributing to the Rtn, but upon more reading, it could be caused by a virus in the tank. But I'm pretty sure it's rtn, because they're dying within the day.
Thanks bro..I appreciate it.
