Rapid Tissue Necrosis (RTN)

dml08 — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 04:24:36 +0000

Waking up to seeing some of your Prized SPS suffering from RTN is always a heartBreaker for a Reefer.. I lost most of my colonies within days of being transferred into my new tank, in fact I lost all of them except for 3. I’ve noticed all has been looking good for the past 2 weeks and well to be honest I was getting happy. Then 2 days ago after ramping up my zeovit reactor My ORA Hawkins Started showing signs of RTN, by the end of the day the whole colony was White!.. Man the things this hobby puts us through……..

Last week I made the drive back to LA to pick my tank up after finding a chip and small hairline crack. After a good inspection everything looked great, that same night we came back we had it back up and running.. the next day (Sunday) we started up the zeovit reactor and started the 14day cycle.. now we wait and the fun begins….

test frag= Palau Acro..
this frag was growing only 3 branches 1.5 months ago, then a buddy hit me up for a frag, then 2 weeks later after that another buddy wanted a frag, after that last fragging I noticed something starting going on… new growth tips started popping up everywhere.. now 1.5 months later, this thing has new tips just about everywhere.. to bad I have no room to put it any where, so the frag rack will do for now… some pics to document my experiment.. oh, here is the thread also where I have been keeping track of everything too.. Fraging=New Growth

Here you can see the growth tips near the center of the frag and to the right.
