+olaggie01 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Unfortunately I have been dealing with one of those phantom coral death issues that just can't seem to be solved. I've checked my water parameters, everything is normal and all other corals look fine. I've changed out over 50% of my water over the past week and it hasn't slowed the death of this table. I've been running UV for weeks and I ran ozone on the tank yesterday and didn't seem to help. I'm going to do one final water change today and if it dies, it dies. Sometimes the complexity of these animals can't be explained at the hobbyist level. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear it! John, what’s the status this morning? Added any carbon lately? Maybe it was the decrease in PO4?What new lights did you add? Maybe a new addition of UV or spectrum change?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did another water change, ran ozone again, and hanged carbon. Nothing is stopping it. The issue started before I changed my lights, it all started going downhill when I was vacation. Only now is it picking up speed and RTNing. Both of my large tables declined when I was out of town and now this one has just given up on trying. I cut a frag of it just in case part of it can survive and I can restart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Interestingly, some of the tips of my table have survived the onward moving wall of death. There may be hope yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Couple shots for a short update. Tables have randomly stopped receding. Can't really explain it, just one of those acro pots things where you just shrug and admit not everything can be explained at a hobbyist level. I'm just happy they're done self destructing for now. Reefwise Lemon drops have been looking good, more yellow everyday Got a new H. magnifica from River City Aquatics. I couldn't be happier with it! What a gorgeous tricolor specimen. Can't wait to see it in the DT [emoji7]Tank during the actinic hour 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Been a while for an update. Things have slowly been recovering. Ripped out some pieces that needed to put today including my dead table I grew from a frag. I’m hoping whatever the issue was has been resolved now. Colors are slowly returning on corals and I stared dosing Vibrant to knock this annoying GHA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just good on bryopsis? I’ve never had bryopsis or had to treat for it, so I’m not too knowledgeable when it comes to Flucanazole. It’s worth trying if Vibrant fails!

We guess knocking out the nutrient consuming algae and also releasing the stores nutrients in the algae Spurs a mini cycle in the tank. As long as it results in no more GHA, I really don’t care! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddius-maximus Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I used Fluconazole for Briopsis. It removed it incredibly efficiently. Just evaporated over a period of a few weeks. And, unexpectedly, it killed all traces of hair algae (it was taking over chaeto in my sump, with some small spots in the DT). That was four months ago. No HA or Briopsis has returned. I did have to restart my chaeto with a fresh batch after treatment, though. But my new stuff is growing like crazy just like pre-treatment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Would it then be advisable to be immediately aggressive with the PO4 removing method of your choice, carbon use, and perhaps polyfilter, and some large water changes to immediately remove whatever that dead algae is providing the water?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro PO4 is 0.05 and my nitrates are 0.5. Pretty darn low for my standards. I recently added 1 tablespoon of biopellets to my depleted reactor and that seems to have destroyed my nitrates for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted October 1, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2018 Thanks to@farmerty I have a replacement piece of the Vivids Confetti I brought back from LA almost exactly a year ago. Starting the clock over again now! Let’s see how it grows this year under the new lights! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
