I had most of my colony bleached/stn from the bottom after a short getaway. I did a test right away and my NO3 and PO4 were all 0 with Hanna Ultra Low Phosporous and Red Sea N03 test kits.

I was running ULNS that time, I noticed a thick transparent slime on my sump evident that the bacteria stripped off my tank.
