Sharing my pain
 
Thought I'd share my pain over this colony losing tissue. It's slowly been doing this for a couple of months now, likely due to my rearranging things. This grew from a frag 2 years ago to this thing today. It's about 10" across, although I'm cutting the dead areas away now.

Nope, just different flow than what it was used to.

No, it just slowly loses more each day. I cut off most of the dead area and glued it, and I'm going to move it to higher flow.

tony, I have several pieces doing this, so it's possible that it is something else. At this point I'm trying to blame PO4, although a test shows negative. I added about 20 concrete frag plugs that didn't cure, so that is a source of bad things maybe. I also have lots of fuzzy red algae, so who knows. Hopefully I can get back on an upswing!!
