Hi Brad, sorry to hear about your Acro losses. There is nothing worse than helplessly watching your prized corals RTN.

Did you do the red bug treatment to your tank and if you did do you think that there may be a delayed reaction to the medication that may be causing some of your problems with just the Acros? Have you added any new Acros since you did the treatment and if so how are they doing?

Dave, I did the red bug treatment several months ago, but no, I don't feel that this has anything to do with it. I'm fairly confident that all th emucking around I've done is the source of my current issues, as all the non acro corals are doing very well. Acros, being a bit more sensitive, are affected more easily than other species.
I'm sure all I need now is time to recover. As for the red bug treatment, I know many others that have treated and not experienced any problems whatsoever.

Oh, and adding new acros. Yes, I have added new ones, with mixed results. Some are doing very well, others died.

I think you may be right Brad. Some established tanks of large acro colonies just dont seem to like being "mucked" with. Unfortunetely its needed many times, like in your case and somewhat mine.

One of my biggest problems and "taker away of enjoyment", is my living in the country. The lack of someone to watch over my tank is one of my main problems.

A smaller tank, with a lots less equipment may not scare some of my local friends so much. They look at my set up now, with all the equipment, cords, plug-ins and the such, and run for cover.
