the online vendor i bought it from had it super glued like that.

Ouch. I've had it happen many times. Very depressing. I could never figure out the cause though.

[DevilBoy]

so no one really knows the cause of RTN ?

Nick i thought of that also... This really stinks... i guess the only way i can stop the pH drop is dosing kalk.

but i dont know how to do like you do with your ATO i dont know how much evap i get a day.

RTN is a symptom of MANY ailments. It is not s disease in and of itself. So, to say, "what is the cause", is like asking "what is the cause of my leg hurting?" It can be many things.

I have had Acros RTN, but if I clipped of a frag in an attempt to save some that would RTN too, just a a day later. I have never recovered anything from RTN. For me recently I can guess I had a temperature issue. I lost like 3 colonies and a frag. One colony was 100% healthy but them my tank got warm and that was it. At one store I used to buy from, his whole tank of newly ordered colonies RTN(about 20).

Healthy live stock and healty tanks go hand and hand.

Oh and RTN happens fast.

One day healthy, next polyps not out, next day some white showing, next moring all gone. It happens fast.

That's why RTN = RAPID tissue necrosis. lol :P

[DevilBoy]

well woke up this morning and it was completely white... nothing i could do so i tossed it...

[TheFallofSidney]

Do you think your seller will replace it for you?

[DevilBoy]

i dont know if he will replace it or not... i dont know what type of warranty he has
