Please help tank going down SOUTH FAST!

Did a 50% WC last night. A few zoas still closed. Most corals look ok but my purple acro that I fraged off the rtn base is stripping its base again!!

Do I have to frag off its base again?


Hammer is still showing its mouth

The acro will likely continue to recede, so ya, I'd cut it at the half way point. The hammer looks fine for now, I wouldn't worry too much. Are you running carbon?

[Spyd]

Yes, chop it again unfortunately. You will have to keep doing it until it stops RTNing or dies off...

A nice piece to a tiny piece. What a shame. I glues the receeding pieces behind it in hopes it will come back to life. The first initial receeded piece I frag onto a plug looks like its still alive.

Yes I've been running carbon Brad. Got about 1-2 cups in my sump in a mesh bag. Changes it 2 weeks or so ago. Some ppl told me I shouldn't be putting the already fully recessed frags in the same system as my DT. True?

[Aquattro]

At this point I'd just sit back and see what happens. The acro will live, or not. Playing around with it too much could cause more problems than it could fix. I would personally remove the receded pieces, they aren't going to do much but slough off the rest of the tissue into the tank.

Should I give my hammer a revive dip? It's excreting its guts a bit

I'd change the carbon tonight and possibly keep changing it every few days until things calm down
I say this as your current carbon is weeks old and only in a bag (passive)
And even if you had a reactor for the carbon, I'd still suggest changing it until things calm down

At the very least, keep up with some WCs and you should see a turn around
