Was it confirmed that they were sold, though? Or are we just rallying our torches and pitchforks over the fact that he was ghosted? Either way - still agree with @JVU - if you are going to give stuff to random people on facebook, you need to come to terms with the fact that it's gone and they...

100% agree. TLDR: :)

You gave him the rocks.

This is giving me flashbacks to my first tank. Was never able to beat it. I don't think it's the lyngbya itself that's the issue, it's the symptom of some other broad bacterial imbalance. Are your corals doing OK still @Darkxerox ?

I don't think filter rollers have much of an impact on nutrient levels at all - I had the same experience with mine. All it really does it keep the sump cleaner - which is maybe worthwhile. I just didn't want all the good stuff filtered out as well, so pulled mine a long time ago.

Yeah seems like something bad is going around! Too soon to update my TJ but I think my tank is finally stabilizing. Definitely similar to what Casey has going on here.

My tank had ich come and go the first couple years. It’s not the end of the world you may think it is if your fish are healthy. It eventually just stopped showing up. Feed a lot, feed often, feed a variety of food. I think this is the best thing to do for your fish. Keep their stress levels...

These are sick! Where can I get some?

@iani this is one of the acros in my tank that hasn't been infected. In fact it's getting more flow and light now since removing some of the other colonies :p

Thanks - my tank was so overcrowded I'm not even actually that worried about the coral loss (unless it never stops...). But thank you for the offers. I definitely want manila spy back in the tank, though. 100% agree most issues in established tanks owned by experienced keepers are bacterial...

Don't try too hard to understand what's going on in the mind of a mushroom. They do what they want, and nobody can explain it.

What happened next? Did it eventually STN? If so, this is very much like what I'm seeing with some of my acros.

Mostly easier corals at first - although it's a mix of everything. Lost the appleberry monti I got from @CaseyP , lost my Manila Spy, lost a nepthea, had to rescue frag my beefy blue stag. had to rescue frag my garf bonsai. Probably going to lose my WD. Other corals - vivid confetti, merlin's...

I've checked all the basics - with two different methods for most of the big ones. No swings in parameters or anything out of normal ranges for my particular tank. Corals have not all started suffering at once. Some corals are not impacted at all (so far). That's why I think it's some kind of...
