My worst fear happened. Major tank disaster while away on vacation. I knew this was likely happening but there wasn't much I could do about it, while I expected the Anacroporas to go, I did not expect other SPS to go along with them... This video captures the beginning and aftermath of the event that took out most of my SPS corals.

    I think the tank was hit from multiple angles... the main culprit being the lights, BUT - I feel it was NOT the direct cause, however they enabled something else to come alive/bloom in the water which then took out the sps. sps have a finicky little ecosystem of their own to keep in balance, I have so much to learn still so "grain of salt"...

    @@spicyreef I absolutely agree with you. Lights, among other things stressed the corals, took out the Anacropora and gave fuel to something bad (bacteria, probably), and it's just a downward spiral from that point on. Hard to really proof but that's my feeling as well.

    Sorry to see ur acros dying hope your tank bounces back to it full glory soon. I have a 75 gallon SPS dominated mixed reef and have been battling red cyano and green cyano for the past 6 months, did water changes added good bacteria installed UV but it did not eradicate the problem as every time it only worked for a few days and the cyano kept coming back within 2 days . The entire sandbed, aquarium glass, rocks scapes and even the corals were covered in cyano and in order to make sure it doesn't kill corals everyday I manually removed the cyanos from the corals with a soft brush. Once again last Saturday I manual removed all the visible cyanos followed by a 3 day blackout and 24 hours UV, from the 3rd day I started dosing Amoxicillin 500mg 2 pills on the first day then 1 pill each day for the next 2 days to complete the 3 days treatment cycle, so far it looks promising the tank is super clean with not a speck of cyano whatsoever. The corals, fishes and inverts have not shown any sign of stress everything is looking absolutely normal and healthy....keeping my fingers crossed.

I miss it every note and then, but the frustrations from the crash and losing everything was too much.. I hope you don't lose all like I did, but in your last video, when you mentioned their losing tissue around the base, it looked exactly how mine did. I hope it direct turn out like mine.

    Hey brother, sorry to see that. I unfortunately saw it going that way for you. You at least had a beautiful trip with your family to a place. I’ll probably never get to go to. You made it back safely and as someone who has a tank that is full of grown out Sps, the good part about this is you get to start over and put brand new corals in there and start over so not a total loss. It’s kind of boring when the tanks are grown out and you don’t have anything to do except check your water once a week and feed the fish in a way I am very jealous. I wish I was closer to Maryland in North Carolina because I would be honored to give you a Frag of one of my Coral’s to grow back out in your tank. At least it was not a total loss dude. The prima donna corals died but the strong survived and you CAN rebuild. Still sure it was the lighting? Not some random containment? Either way brother we’re all here for ya keep pumping up a Videos will make sure we support you.

    From a chemical stand point I doubt that the carbon binded the trace elements. The carbon might adsorb some cations but in the end the bound cations will still be in an equilibrium with their free form, so they will be useable. What I would suppose happened is that after increasing the lights the corals got really stressed and the demand of these trace elements increased drastically, since they are used for light protection, thus lowering their free concentration.

    I feel your pain, when my baby was born she had a slight medical issue so I couldn't address my tank for months. Eventually my tank got up to 90 Nitrates and my monti bleached out before I could fix it, the monti digi lost all of its tissue but I could tell there was a few polyps surviving after a few weeks to months. Sure, I lost a few of my LPS but I had mostly lost only montipora (digi and plate). Now that my tank is stable, I can see about 5% of the lost coral (sps polyps) is still alive (with no flesh between polyps yet) AND it has different colors than before. It went from basic green montipora digi to a pink / red looking polyp.

    So this exact same thing happened to me - I switched from Radion XR30 to Metal Halides and the switch shocked my SPS. In doing so, the corals reduced alkalinity intake and while my calcium reactor was set at a certain melting point , I had a HUGE spike in dkh. 5/20 frags RTN/STN . I would put my money on the light change. I do want to add that this is why SPS is so difficult but rewarding. I can say though You sure did process this loss of coral okay for the years of growth you lost for some basic Aqua Illumination lights.

    Every time I try to actively "improve" a tank it eventually leads to bad things. My best tank ever is my 25G AIO I have running in my dining room. I forget I have it sometimes until my APEX tells me I forgot to top off or replace a dosing/testing element. I literally throw corals away out of it because everything grows like a weed. And that is with a $100 amazon black box and the cheapest salt I can buy.

    Daily dosing of elements doesn’t mean they will stay in range. If you don’t dose enough, they will still deplete. Especially manganese and iron. Your Rubidium was also off the charts high. After asking Randy Holmes-Farley about rubidium, I found it pointless to dose. It does nothing. I ran the RM method for almost 2 years but quit about 4-5 months ago. Back to water changes every 7-10 days, added Tropic Marin A and K to my 2 part, and my tank is so much better than before. Not doubting RM, it worked well while I ran it, but there are so many “I don’t knows” and “we’re not sure’s” that it’s just one big, expensive experiment all the time. With that said, I’ve found anacropora to be extremely sensitive and will just die for absolutely no reason. A little light shock may have set it off and boom it’s gone

    Initially I thought that too, but I lean more towards light shock as the initial catalyst now because I have a smaller colony of Goldenrod Anacropora in the shade that is surviving, which doesn't track if the toxin took out the main colony. Although it is hard to tell the exact cause for sure, or maybe it's a combination of all the stressors?

    用Ciprofloxacin cephalexin這類抗生素其實是可以的 因為對厭氧菌不敏感 不容易會有硝化系統崩潰累積NO3的問題 但是沒必要使用 因為會感染珊瑚的細菌都是常在菌 只會在珊瑚受傷或環境震盪的時候感染他們 就像是人在天氣冷或感染病毒時 免疫受到抑制時產生的呼吸道常在菌感染一樣 最好的方法就是在感染初期截掉受損的部分 然後用膠水把切口封住

    Sorry to respond in English as I type Chinese very slow on my desktop -- I want to thank you for this info, very good insights on the type of bacteria that's attacking the weakened corals. I will try the fragging & gluing method next time. I keep thinking back to how I could have helped the Goldenrod Anacropora if I were around, as it was the entire colony slowly getting paler and eventually just bleached, did not seem like a regular RTN/STN, so I still don't have a good answer. But your method probably would have been the answer to some of the other corals that died later on, unfortunately I caught the very tail end of it. Will be better prepared next time, thank you!

    Wait, you are not going to mention the phosphates @ 0.36? That is wayyyy too high and it explains why the softies are OK, but some LPS are on the border and starting to STN. I doubt you have any issues with bacteria or anything. The light shock could have been a catalyst to push the SPS over the edge and into RTN, but again, your underlying issue is almost definitely PO4. You need to run GFO and get that down to between 0.05 and 0.1. The WC will help, but it will be tough to get it down with WC alone.

    Good point, though I am guessing the raised PO4 may be a response to all the dying corals (ICP was sent out two days after I returned from my trip, after most corals perished); this system's PO4 typically sits at ~0.15, and NO3 ~20-25. At the moment the PO4 is slowly coming down to 0.25 as of today without running GFO yet, I am trying to not drop it too quickly to cause another shock. I will keep an eye out and double check the my test kit though, in case my reagent is off and has been giving me false reading compared to the ICP. Good looking out, thank you!

    ​@@InappropriateReefer It definitely could be after the fact, but I would not think that much. I am surprised your fuge is not balancing the nutrients better. I have to pull out like a basketball of chaeto every 2-3weeks in my 100g and that keeps my tank pretty much perfect. If the nutrients go down or up the chaeto growth does as well so no spikes. Maybe try chaeto? Happy to help out! I have watched your channel for a while now and learned a ton from you.

    Those 0.316 Phosphates crashed your tank. Better said, even if those SPS prior were managing to hang on with such high numbers, an additional stressor like a change in lighting is enough to send it over the edge, and once it does, it goes into a downward spiral. No use looking at Trace elements, if main elements like strontium are so out of whack and nutrients are just too high. Sorry for your loss.

But running tanks ultra low or ultra high both invites it's own set of risks. Same as running it at edge temperatures/salinity, i.e. Also I doubt an SPS aqua cultured in "regular/low" nutrient levels, will handle a sudden switch that well.

    What’s the point of having a reef tank? If you’re going to play it safe and go with the easy shit? It’s too boring. If everything just grows perfectly all the time the fun challenge is having a super thriving mixed reef. Anybody can just grow just SPS or just LPS, the real fun is mixing them up. You can see the videos of my tank under my name but I get bored when everything’s playing nice and growing well. Yeah, it’s devastating to have some die off like that but most the fun is putting a little frag‘s and growing them out. Plus I’m sure there’s his friends lining up to give him new frag’s to help him get started again.

    You are right to be concerned about antibiotics. I'm a veterinarian and I see antibiotic resistant bacteria at least once a month in non-healing wounds. It's becoming a big issue. I would recommend fixing the inciting issue and doing antibiotic dips vs dosing it to the whole tank. You're going to have antibiotic resistance in that tank and I wouldn't want my kids to be around that should they get a cut or something and get tank water in the wound. Also antibiotics use is becoming more restricted over time. Pretty soon hobbyists may not be able to access antibiotics without a prescription and will likely need to think of other ways to handle STN/RTN.

    Thank you for the heads up, I am hoping to learn more about this topic as the use of antibiotic is becoming so much more popular in our hobby (some with routine full tank treatment as a preventative). I have not thought of the possibility of antibiotic resistance jumping from tank water to human though, that definitely raises the concern a few tiers higher in my book.
