Sorry about your loss Mark, even though you've lost some colonies your tank is still one of my favorites.

If that happened to me that beer can would be open and empty along with a few others.

Hey Mark, that sucks!

Unfortunately I know exactly how you feel, I have pulled out many large skeletons like yours that amounted to about 80% of all my SPS. I'm guessing it was old tank syndrome or my sand bed going bad or maybe that is the same thing.

Anyway, at least you can move on now.

Man that's really too bad.

Do either of you have a deep sand bed? I was reading a very long discussion on RC about them and why they often cause crashes or coral loss eventually. It gets pretty hard to keep them clean as a reef matures and fills in (hard to even see them anymore in some cases as coral grows). I don't completely understand the concept but I guess to do it right, you have to vaccum the top layer regularly so that waste does not get trapped in the deep sand bed. People likened it to a septic tank that just can't hold anymore waste and has no where to "drain".

Don't know if that's applicable here but just a thought?

Regardless, this is terrible

Wish I knew what happened. One of the things that worries me is thought my routine was solid so am I'm missing?

What is a little weird, is now it's cleaned up, I really do feel better when I look at it.
