Yeah me too!

That's why I called it quits on the CSBMM. I was just about to drop you a line Brad- to ask if your Pocillipora had been affected. I almost lost both colonies of that coral and also my big green Frogspawn

I'm going to stick with the brand that's worked for me for 6 years, or until a serious study of salt mixes and comparrisons has been done

cheers, Rich

dam Rich. That's a serious blow. I have both frogspawn and pocillipora with no problems. Is it because I use carbon? Either of you use carbon? Rich, I can frag you some frogspawn if you are interested.

Sam, I have both carbon and a poly filter in the sump. I also have 3 other pocillipora colonies that were NOT bleached. My hammer was also not affected.

Sam
Thanks for the frag offer

I didn't loose the green Frogspawn, it was however effected by the water changes using CSMBM. It remained completly closed for up to four hours after doing the changes. The Frogspawn and also the Pocillipora are both slowly rebounding back so I'm keeping my fingers crossed

And yes, I also use Chemi-Pure carbon in my sump as well.

Good to hear that they're making a comeback. I misread your original post when you said "almost lost". I thought you actually did lose them.
