Sorry to hear about your loss.
It must be that expensive salt your using. Tom R

I hacked 1/3 off a large pocci last night...expect the remain 2/3 to be gone within the next 48 hours. I'm also on D&D salt at the moment. Lost my rainbow monti in 48 hours last week. Really...I've been losing coral since Xmas.
No measurable parameter can I explain what has been happening to me. (I don't measure potassium). It behaves viral or bacterial and I'm experimenting with some unique dips to see if I can stop the progression on sample pieces. So far, iodine based dips don't really seem to be helping. Meanwhile, I have 4 or 5 other acros (mostly millis) that are thriving, growing rapidly and look fabulous! I'm baffled. You know...the best results I seem to have were with Ocean Pure Pro....go figure. If D&D salt is truly manufactured by evaporative process...is it possible that this can introduce some naturally occuring bacteria/virus that can overwhelm a weak SPS? Just a theory...

I am using D-D salt too.
My millies are still thriving and looking really great. Tough buggers!

I lost four colonies and a few frags myself. Nothing has changed with water quality. One of the colonies went in less then 45 minutes. My losses have been in the last four days. I did a 90g water change and will be changing the carbon in the reactor tonight.
At least I don't feel so bad about this now.

This is the first spring that I HAVEN'T lost anything.
And now that I've said that.....well you know the inevitable

Every year in dec I get an outbreak of cyano, every year I do massive water changes in an attempt to get rid of it and then more massive water changes because my corals are dying. This year I figured because the cyano appeared to arrive in cycles I wouldn't do anything about it and see if it would go away on its own (which it did, in the same time frame as when I was doing water changes yet  )So far no coral losses and tank looks great and I have only done 1 10% water change since christmas
