When is "Brown Jelly disease" out of my water?

[Nadiaa]

So, i ordered an orange torch from a website, and when I arrived, it looked liked it have had a hard trip. I put it in my tank, in hope of recovery. It did not recover, and after a day or so, it got some brown jelly on top. I took it out of the tank, but in the next couple of day, brown jelly disease got all my torches

Do anyone know when I can add torches again? When is brown jelly disease out of the system?

brown jelly disease isn’t really a disease in the typical sense that we think. It’s more a set of symptoms. Some people think it’s bacterial, some think it’s viral, others think it’s something else. In the end there’s no easy simple answer for you. Only way to know will be to try again.

I'm being wiped out by brown jelly right now. I'm so sad - 3 beautiful torches, a hammer on its way out and a duncan retracting. I really am stretched thin financially so as well as it breaking my heart it's also making me sad I can't afford to replace anything for a good long while.

Curious to know if you tried again?

Likely something else is killing, or at least weakening, your corals. BJD is generally something that only sick or damaged corals are susceptible to.

I started to test my tank and noticed my phosphates were really high. I then just did a good water change to try to help lower it. I have to say I'm really struggling with my 40 breeder. My little Evo 13.5 just sailed through and everything is growing like crazy. It fooled me into thinking this stuff is easy. Kinda joking but I did pat myself on the back - until now. I am about to start a thread asking about some of this.
