but for whatever reason over the last year and a bit I've lost my magic touch. I had a tank full of gorgeous SPS coral thriving and growing. I had my dosing down, light schedule on point, the only issue I've ever had was some green hair algae.

So I started messing with stuff. First disaster was carbon dosing. Lost half my sps during this "event". Lesson leared, took carbon off line and things came back.

Few months ago see my phosphates are getting a bit high, still not a drop of algae in my tank, my sps are doing ok, growing although not rapidly but everything in the tank seems fine so what do I do? I add roaphos in a reactor to the sump.

Read the instructions, added the right small amount for a 125 gallon. What could go wrong?

Well it could kill all my remaining sps! Litterally took out most of my remaining colonies. I'm guessing my phosphates dropped so fast my coral went into shock or something. I now have 1 green birdsnest with some tissue damage, my old 5 year old green slimer looks like it should live but almost everything else SPS died within the first week of hooking up the Roaphos.

SO tired of killing off coral due to stupid decisions and mistakes. If I just leave well enough alone everything does well but as soon as I try to "fix" something ...........coral death.

Ugh, maybe I just stick to zoa's for the rest of my life....lol
