STN after COMP123???? - Page 2

Well that sucks man. I would stop dosing the 123. I really think that some of us are getting bad batches. Maybe they over dosed some of the elements when mixing . ATW didn't test for iron when I sent in my water. With the problems I am having with my green corals I think that the iron content is really high in our batches.I'm going to send in some more water in a few week and have them test the iron this time. Good luck man . I'll keep you updated.

I also have lost about 12 acros, 6 pocilopora and now I'm losing 1 favia and 1 fungia. I was following AF supplements and STN appear after starting NP Pro and Pro bio. I've stopped but after 3 weeks things aren't getting to the way it was...
I'm still going to use AF probiotic salt but it's the last chance for AF. The method has lower product cost but for me the cost and disappointment was way to high.

Any updates on what happened in your tank?

That's the exact same thing that happened to me. My SPS began to fade and then RTN. I've lost 8 SPS corals in the last month. I'm going back to BRS 2 part and see if I can save what I have left. FWIW, my LPS corals look great.

I stopped all AF products back to the basics. DIY ALK and BRS Calcium. Easy and works perfect. No GFO or Carbon, Cheato and skimmer thats all.

I stopped all AF products after raising nitrates, stn and a diatom bloom. Went back to B-ionic and the other methods that worked for me.
