![]() what temp is your tank at? I read an article where they found that RTN was more likely happen in warmer tanks and may remain dormant in cooler tanks. Try lowering your tank to 75 degrees and see if it slows the process down.

![]() I have noticed the spring runoff phenom in the past...colonies die off for no reason. You didn't do any moving of rock wok or anything that could of caused a spike in nitrates?

Nope nothing, in fact I was a way for the weekend when it started......the only thing I could think of was that the Nem stretched up another inch and stung the Pocillipora.

![]() Here's a shot of what I'm dealing with......it has been creeping across my monti for 3 days now and I'm starting to think I'm going to have to snap off some large chunks to try and save as well as yank the Stag off the rock and move it before it's to late.

![]() IME, hack and slash... Remove any and all dead tissue. Dip any remaining healthy frags in an iodine based dip. My tendency is to wait too long...

I went in tonight snapped off the stag and turned it so it wasn't touching the monti....the gave it everything I had to break off either the monti or a large chunk...no go man (it's an inch and a half thick) so instead I broke off a bunch of healthy frags and apoxyed them to the rock work a little to the left of the mother colony. Any tips on how to cut it wile still in the tank?

![]() I Just changed all my pre-filters in my RO unit, membrane is about 2 years old and probably should be changed asap....unfortunately I don't have a TDS tester....but I could take a sample into the local water place to get it tested tomorrow. Our water is surface water...mid summer it is around 80-90 right out of the tap.....but I've never had it checked during spring run off.
