i had major base recession happening to most of my corals a couple of months back . i'm not sure if it was due to low temp as the tank was set to 72f-76f, tank temp is at 79 now and every corals nicely recovering. one coral puzzles me though which is my red table. since i've had the coral it has receeded every year right around jan-march. also got 1 bali acro that completely bleached in 2 days. =o(

Christy,
Can't find the RC thread that discusses Seachem salt's really high level of boron. Randy was adament that such high levels in a reef are not so good. Did, however, find an article on Boron in a Reef Tank. While the article is all about boron and what it does chemically in the home reef, Randy does discuss Seachem salt. Long read, but might explain a few things about what might be going on with your new frags... http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/dec2002/chem.htm BTW, there are two Seachem salts on the market now, one of which has just started being shipped. Here's Seachem's site for more information on their two salts... http://www.seachem.com/home/home.html

Thanks for the info Bev,
Sheesh if it isn't one thing its another. The store I got the salt from was out of IO and all they had was Kent (which was sort of sketchy at the time) and the Seachem stuff. I guess I'll be going back to Kent if they don't have any IO in.

Re RTN
I lost a few SPS frags in the last few weeks as well.
Interesting that there seems to be a trend here. I personally have no idea why they died. Others in the same tank are doing fine and a couple that started to RTN are now slowing coming back. Weird. Just goes to show you how truly little we know..
