Cant sit back and let my corals die

[MO~IDOL]

picture this u dont feel good but u dont know whats wrong so you take all kinds of medication and treatment what will the end result be?

sorry duke IMO i think you have done enough you and the corals are all stress just let it b.

 

[duke62]

yeah im done with it all. going to do my normal water changes like usual and stop with the fragging because its not working. That why i was asking should i at least try the eurithamycin just to give that a try and see what happens? It does treat bacteria infection in fish and gets rid of cyano

 

[mbg75]

Well if your letting it go, u have nothing to lose by dosing antibiotic. Question is which one you need.

 

[strgazr27]

With all the issues it was a good fight but there comes a point when you need to realize ya lost. A fresh start. Take what you've learned and do it again. As far as antibiotics MBG has a good point. You don't know what the problem is so what do you treat it with? This too is also a crapshoot. It happens a lot.
In our haste to win the fight and save our setups we sometimes over compensate. The pieces were stressed. You added more stress trying to help. Like I said, you tried. Whisper "and get rid of those dam LEDs lol"

hey James you did what you could brotha, chalk it up as a learning experience, we've all been through some tough losses in this amazing hobby but as long as you still love it you just keep on reefing and don't look back.


maybe time to start collecting zoas and chalices

 

[duke62]

NO NO NO i love my acros and montis not going backward in the hobby LOL. Im a fighter this will not defeat me unless i run out of funds

 

[duke62]

Funny thing is the pieces I cut 2 days ago that I was throwing away because they were the excess pieces where the STNing was happening are still alive with polyp extension and hasn't receded in 50 degree dip water WTF

Wow I been reading this post and man a lot of bad info here.... One are you carbon dosing???? . What are your parameters. With you dosing all the stuff it most likely your rocks absorbed all of it and made it all toxic. If this is the case there's nothing you can do to fix. You will have to dump the rock and sand and start over. That's if your rocks and sand absorbed all that antibiotics you put in that tank...

What specifically is the "bad advice" given here and what stuff has he been dosing that made his rock "toxic" ? I don''t see where anything was dosed or anti-biotics used, just the question being raised ---answered mostly with the sentiment that it was a bad idea.

James, my heart goes out to you! I wish you all the best, and I am hoping that as mysteriously as your reef took a bad turn it will turn the corner, and come back better then ever...... Sometimes we just don't have the answers.:hug:

 

[Tonyscoots84]

[Arati]

Just wanted to say I feel for ya, Been through this myself.

When you are stable again hit me up I have a couple frags for ya.

 

[duke62]

The one coral thats hitting me the hardest is my Karls candlelight. I have a small frag that i cut a couple months ago that hanging in but my whole colony is going.the whole underside is white but the top is still colorful but its only a matter of time

 

[jerl77]

your sure there is no flatworms still?
sounds like all the signs of them?

 

[duke62]

jerl i have dipped 60% of my corals since this happened and no worms at all. i even left excess cut corals in a dip bowl over night and no worms. i have been through the worm thing before and i know the signs. nothing like it

Dumb question, is there any way possible to contaminate your tank from soap residue, lotion, deoderant, colongne, etc from being on your skin when you are working in the tank? Just thinking, if it is possible.
