Approaching total coral wipe-out

[Scythanith]

My google Fu is weak right now but I recently read an article from Sanjay Joshi about the collapse of his 500g SPS dominated tank. Similar issues, burnt tips then total tissue release within hours. After all of his analytical thinking and methodology he deduces that one of the best things he could have done was larger initial water changes. All the tricks and tips from the pro's he knows were considered, but in the end he lost a large portion of his SPS.

If anyone knows of the article I am speaking of please put up a link!

Whatever is causing the loss it must be heartbreaking.

Thank you! I couldn't find it for the life of me. Asylum, have you had a chance to read through this article yet? I know you said you were pretty busy but I figured it would maybe help to calm you down about the whole situation. Yes, it's heartbreaking but sometimes you just have to ride it out and look at it as an opportunity to re do your aqua-scaping.

Sorry I can't be more help.
