@AKL1950 im wondering if it was SCTLD. Some of these things lost tissue at the tip, some at the mid section, etc. I dunno guys, flatworms may have been present but im not convinced. I dont think there was enough stressors involved in transporting. Maybe the dipping of everything spread the disease. It was all so random and rapid. I checked temp and it was right around 78 at 5pm almost 24hrs later. Salinity was spot on.

I got wrapped up in 20 things today ill try to get some pics tmrw.

Did anything survive?

 

[ReeferZ1227]

Did anything survive?

Yeah theres still alot of stuff, but id say at least 70% of the acros are wiped and i wouldnt be suprised to see 100%. The torches, zoas, montis look alright as of now. Hammer might be a bit ticked but ive seen worse.

Whats interesting is i chizzled some rocks apart that had montis and acro bases after 5pm today. Keep in mind a ton of acros melted before getting near my water this AM, the containers we packed them in were milky.

Then, things continued downhill in my main systems water from WC, 10am-ish and all day after in my frag system which is entirely independent. Those bases left in water on liverock in the coolers still had color at 5pm. Just checked on them now, all melted.

Im going to let this stuff run its course but im tempted to put one of my valida frags in there tmrw just to see how fast it melts. If its within 24hrs it has to be bacterial.

Ive kept things separated, tools and equipment, but the due dilligence i applied to that was on the basis of flatworms, not disease. Kinda sketched out lol (nervouslaughter).

Now i kind of need to know, to determine what to do next with this entire frag system. Like do i gota nuke it and start from scratch...

Wow! So sorry. I just read about it and the symptoms they discribe match what we were seeing in my tank. When you got here, the tips of that big bright red WWC Wow were turning white which were well away from the encrusted area that was dying.

The chunks of the green Montipora pink rim, how are they doing?

Have you tested ammonia? Could have disturbed detritus, the kcl die off could have been too much before transport and limited water volume, could have caused a bac bloom....could have been a couple or all of those factors together.

 

[billyocean]

If not rinsed well enough perhaps a pottasium spike due to the water volume afterwards. It was a lot to do before transport instead of being able to rely on the systems water volume to ease them along...I'm thinking it was a combo of things.
