puttputt Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Tank doesn't quite look like that anymore, It contacted a disease, that affects sps, and my tank was 95% sps, it was hit hard and all were lost. Clams, softies, zoos, fish, etc all unaffected. tank now in recovery mode, will not add any sps for 6 months or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally J Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 what would cause the disease? Would it have been adding something to the tank which carried it, or was it in the water you added....???? What a shame for you. I couldn't even imagine what that would feel like!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttputt Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Yes, from a frag or coral carrying the bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsurfs Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Wow, beautiful shots! and very cool to see the progression :bounce: But how sad you lost so much! I have limited knowledge in the corals dept.... do you mean a "bug" as in some type of bacteria, or did you get some actual critter like a type of worm or crusty that attacked all your SPS?

puttputt Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 as in a disease, but thats reefing, and tank is slowly recovering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puttputt Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Missing a bit, interesting to know what implied swearing is, not surprised :roll: Got whiteband disease Craig, lost all the sps, but tank is recovering well, will try an acro in a month or 2, slowly building a nice zoo collection while i'm waiting - something you'd appreciate "zoo man" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suphew Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 why does crackers avatar shows auckland? is he bak up here or still in the nelson area? His last post was well over a year ago, I'd assume he just hasn't updated his details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
