AquaH - what a brilliant show. Team Prestige Reef smashed it 🙌. This hobby knows how to test us all. Really enjoying watching the content on your channel 👍.
Angel ate them all. Once they develop the taste they will go to town and wipe out a small colony over a very short time. It happened to me and countless others. I don’t think this angel you got, which is very rare, is categorized as reef safe.
Holy… this is why I’m too nervous to go SPS. I can’t dedicate this much of my life into it and too lazy. It’s definitely something for those who have the heart, dedication and sacrifice to do it. I wouldn’t be able to handle having a tank full of sps and then to have them gone in a day, that’s a move that will make me give up the entire hobby and I love it too much to have it that way. Sorry to hear this happened, I’m glad reefers like you document so everyone can learn
The last time this happened to me I was at O Nitrate and 0 Phosphate. Dong Zoe recommended vitamin C to help the Acros hold on to their skin. I don't know if that is snake oil but adding a very small pinch of vitamin C powder is easy and I haven't seen any tissue loss in the last four months. Cheers, Chris
We have all been there. My recommendation to you is keep all above 8.5 to be safe and dirty water isn't as bad as you think. Higher Po4 and No3 keeps bacteria from feeding on your corals. RTN will hit you fast and hard.
Just a heads up but you absolutely can use prazipro and copper at the same time. The reason it was advised not to do so was some prazi based products had a reducing agent in them which made copper meds toxic. This is not the case with prazipro or the API products (general cure it's call I think)
If they were all fine the day before and then all did it at the same time that must be an event on the day. If it was nutrients they would do it over a couple of days or weeks not at the same time
