Default Causes of tissue loss at tips of SPS
Hi
I'm at a loss as to the cause of ongoing tissue loss at the tips of all my SPS... No big alk swings stable at 7.8-8 cal constant around 410 NO3 at bit higher than I would like at around 10 PO4 9 ppb on Hanna ultra low checker.SG 1.025 Tissue loss continues and have lost 4-5 colonies... Watching my SPS melt is killing me!! Any thoughts?
Thanks
VR
