awesome work BPB! glad to see your tank successful after all the hard work.

You still doing CPs? Terraforums has been dead for a while, lot of the regulars have moved on. I abandoned the outdoor bog and am doing a highland tank build now, if your interested I'm tracking it on FlyTrapCare forums!

Sorry to hijack. Keep up the good work.

If I remember correctly, he had a crash and then got out. I remember buying coral frags from Mike back in the day. It was a great system. It was a prime example of the classic SPS tank, MH lights, 10k bulbs (yellowish), no sand, tons of flow, and I think he was running zeo but I can't remember. He had great growth and larger colonies. It was ultra low nutrient... So low that LPS wouldn't survive.

that's awesome. Ya its zeovit, and it's tanks like these that are inspiring me to take the plunge into the method.

It's a shot in the dark but I really hope this tank is still going. Imagine the growth...

This truly is the strangest case of bad SPS luck that I've seen. The fact that you have great luck with literally every type of coral (including SPS) other than Acropora really makes me think that its something specifically targeting the genus, as others said here. Have you done that Triton test yet? I'm really curious to see what the result is. I really do think you'll find despite all the heartache that the resolve to this issue is just in reach, considering throughout this tank's timeline you have eliminated every other variable that could be affecting the corals.

Also do you run carbon on the tank?

If it's any consolation, your tank is still pretty awesome looking.

!!! What are the ODDS! I'm Hamata-Honzo off Terraforums! that's freaking crazy how coincidences like this work out... man!

Bpb I completely agree you probably have years more experience than me in the SPS world. Just offering a possibility. I know the cause of death for SPS can be a headache... Just trying to eliminate all possible causes.

Nightfuries tho

Btw I think the alkalinity for a sps dominant tank is best kept around 9-13. Until I raised it from 7.5 I had STN on everything. IME when you don't have an obvious cause of STN (rough handling, corallivores- is that a word?) it will usually be a low alk/ high phos. At least that's why I think your SPS didn't like it... Of course I'm just saying what Imy experience was.
