Dead coral. "Rapid Tissue Necrosis." Mostly an SPS related ailment. An acropora (or other coral) looks fine one day, then nothing but skeleton the next. Poof, just like that, and it's done.

I had really put a lot of faith in that "doing everything right" with a tank this big would be the end of bad luck related incidents. So far, it has proven anything but.

About ready to call it quits forever with corals.

Don't feel bad Tony, i can hardly keep SPS alive at any stage. I do have a few pieces in my office tank that are OK but not WOW

Whats with people hijacking threads on the buy/sell section? Pretty ignorant to jump on there and start commenting on someones price. The mods should maybe do somethng about it, they usually have to go in and clean up the posts anyways. And why are people worried about post counts? Must be an age thing. Seems that alot of new members have close to or over a thousand posts and only a couple are worthy of looking at.

Some grumpy boxing day shoppers need to sit down, watch Ron Howard's 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' and learn a few things my kids already have a grasp of. Oh and maybe stop whining and bitching already
