SPS Tip's Burning??

[Jason McK]

This looks exactly like what happened to my SPS. I never found the cause but have some suggestions
1) What CA suppliment are you using
2) What Salt are you using
3) what are your new lights/Ballast

Seachem Reef Advantage

2) What Salt are you using

Reef Crystals

3) what are your new lights/Ballast

Changed the 250w Odyssea stock bulbs and ballast's over to Ushio 14k and Ice Cap ballasts Make's a huge difference...

Hi,

Yes have been over it thoroughly.. I am pretty harsh on all the corals i put into my display. I use interceptor, Revive, Flatworm Exit and Lugols. I QT everything for 2 weeks. Thats not to say that something could not have slipped through, but i can not see anything..

Simon..

I made the mistake of not putting the glass in my reflectors for a couple days and fried a bunch of corals. My birdsnest looked similar to yours. Any chance you are running DE MH's without glass to filter out the UV?

Would the glass in the Odyssea MH fixture filter out the UV from an Ushio? The Previous bulbs were fine in the fixture?

BTW any one ever glued a Birdsnest back together

Just took it out again to look closer and dropped it !!! F#@$##

Got to be the lighting then, would definitely be good to move it if possible
