Re: Help with stn and rtn (short-term and rapid tissue necrosis)

Just a quick update, been a week since I last posted. Haven't lost any other SPS corals, which is a relief. One thing I've noticed is my Monti's, Birdsnets frags and LPS are all looking significantly better, like a big turnaround. Most the Acro's are still recovering, but I didn't expect them to ...

Re: Help with stn and rtn (short-term and rapid tissue necrosis)

Thanks for the advice guys, I've decided to take it on board and make a few changes. I'll be picking up some cuprisorb to help with any potential metal pollution, and I've also set up a small refuge in my sump with some algae to help stabilize things.

I've also decided to scale back my water ...

I hardly ever check the ...

Re: Help with stn and rtn (short-term and rapid tissue necrosis)

Thanks for the advice guys. I actually replaced all the RO filters about 4 weeks ago, they were about a year old before that. My TDS reading is 0 and phosphate level out of the filters is also 0.00. I'm using Red Sea salt, the blue bucket one. Just swapped out my old titanium heater for a new one ...

Help with stn and rtn (short-term and rapid tissue necrosis)

Hi all, I'm reaching out for some guidance as I'm having some issues with my tank.
I've had it running for about 3 years now, and it's been SPS-dominated.
The past 4 or 5 months, I've been experiencing STN (Slow Tissue Necrosis) that comes and goes.
It all started around 5 months ago when I had ...
