I tried the massive water change and period of lights out for about 4 days. They went away but look like they've returned. They're a pain in the butt. I'm considering selling what I have since the corals are slowly dying off... I'd say half are showing rtn and the other half are ok...

Anyone in the market for some SPS or remaining softies? This is what might be going...
Oregon tort - About 1"
Dave's tort - 1" one frag, 1/2" 2nd frag
Garf Purple Bonsai - Around 9-10 small branches, maybe about 2" high
Candlelight Acro - 3'4" frag
Pink Lemonade - 2X1" base covered with a few branches (1.5", 1", some small ones separate)
Yellow tort - looks like a green tort though - about 2" with mutiple branches
Pokerstar Monti - larger than a quarter

Stuff that has had some rtn
Setosa - 3/4"
Becker tort - 1.5"
few others I'd probably just throw in to see if someone could save them ie. aquascene echinata, etc

Softies - Tyree toadstool - 1.5", 1/2"
different polyps with approximate numbers
Nuclear Greens - 20 polyps, 10 polyps
Purple Deaths - 15 polyps, 6 polyps
Tubs - 100+ polyps
Cat eyes - 25 polyps
Devil's Armor - 40 polyps

Some other polyps which arent doing so well I'd throw in as well as freebies.

I may be able to help

PM for details - I've beaten it twice but it's a pain for sure

Maybe... It's pretty discouraging so I'll see.

I'll respond to everyone's pms who are interested in stuff and make a decision soon if i will sell them. Priority goes to those buying multiple pieces so I don't need to make as many transactions. Thanks.

Happen to have anyone who could house the corals until you get everything under control?

did you try bringing your Ph up? Also, try adding an couple air stones (or an extra skimmer running full bubbles) and extreme water movement (add a couple temp maxijets), even if it is temporary and irritates the corals, if you can get a mild sand storm going in your tank the dino will hate it.

Check this for more info on controlling it.

I've decided to sell the corals and then see if I want to salvage the tank for my fish. It'll be much easier to fight without a lot of expensive corals in my tank.

I'll try to come up with some discount prices for group purchases. Thanks.

Please see the FS thread. I'll continue this there since I've decided to sell and then battle the algae issues. Thanks.
