I don't have any advice, but it sucks ! just plain sucks, take a few deep breaths and wait it out I guess. So sorry that this is happening.

Dude, don't worry about it. It is a useless topic, I wouldn't send my corals off to anyones tank just in case anyways.

No point in adding exposure to anyones system for no reason. Doesn't make any sense.
[/quote]i'm not worried, i'm not sure why darrylv chimed in, necrosis may not be a disease but it could be the result of a disease or contagion of some kind which could be carried with the coral from one tank to another.

Clam seems to be doing fine! I posted a photo not that long ago of new growth on him!

I have only purchased corals pretty much from locals and local businesses. No one has been experiencing wipe outs like my tank has or they have just been quiet about it.

Maybe you should read some more on the forum. You definetly are not the only one to experienced this, pretty positive Even in this thread others have said they have dealt with the same issues.

I had minimum 30 sps wiped out in 24 hour period.

this is unfortunatlety too true

i was going to write a nice big post on what i thought you should do.. but i didnt.

what I'm gettin from this is .... Theyangman has been givin advice by many experienced members, why suggest your input if no ones gunna listen.

Deal with the issue, don't put anything else in your tank. Don't buy any coral, don't add another huge tank to your existing system ( that won't help shit ), do your water changes, keep an eye on levels, keep them stable for the next 4-6 months, observe what it happening in the tank, once you find success with a few hardier sps then slowly buy the $$$ piece.

I feel like this topic has gone around in circles over and over again.

lol  yes

If it's necrosis, it can't be stopped except for amputation, the only way to save whats left is to frag off the affected stuff and keep the healthy tissue, or just watch it die.

that horse ain't dead yet, you better hit ut a few more times.

I think it could be summed up into... learn and be confident in your sps keeping ability (growing,colourful,thriving) before buying a whole bunch?  No matter what anyone says there is a learning curve and you dont want to go through that with a tank stocked with expensive SPS.  Keeping it real.

[/quote]i can have my opinion and voice it just like you.  Like i said i dont believe rtn/stn is a disease that is contagious.  IMO its brought on by stress through the environment.  We can have differing opinions too....dont worry i wont call you an idoit.

[/quote]no worries, i was trying to stress to people not to put that coral in their tanks and i hope you wouldn't advocate it either, there could be a disease or something contagious causing the stress in those animals.
