check your alkalinity and run carbon. I don't know what else to suggest.

what are your tank parameters?

Sorry to hear of your issues lorenz0, Seems to be a spring thing. double check your perameters, run carbon, and try and clip the pieces

I have been going through the same thing the past few weeks! Really sucks.

My ALK was low but even after raising it and everything looked ok, I have noticed today some more STN.

Its undoubtably seasonal. I went back through my excel tracking sheet, and every year around this time something like this happens to me as well.

This year it was one colony, and half a colony.

OK.... so let's assume for a moment that this is something seasonal. What is the cause? Is it phosphates? Something else in our supply water? Temperature?
