I'm hoping mine comes out of hiding like yours he's really cool looking and I barely seen him except the first day I got him. I still catch a glimpse of about a cm of his peripheral tissue once and a while

Yeah he's got a bunch of stuff I was just at his house 2 weeks ago and I bought $100 where the corals and lost him in a week and a half and they were all the easy Coral, like birds nest and answer stylos I am going to try a new source of water which will suck cuz I got my own rodi unit

How old is this tank . Honestly ive been having tons of issues also as u probably know . May just have to be patient and let it ride out if tank isnt that old my 75 gal took a yr before it could keep sps alive. Or its a water supply issue im starting to think thats my issue also only problem is i gotta figure out how i can pin point it

The tank is 8 months old I had SPS alive and growing and coloring over the summer before we lost hare air conditioning now I got all my parameters back and check to start adding Coral and they died within 2 weeks. I am also thinking it is also my RO di unit might have a bed membrane seeing I just change all the filters and Di and Black Friday. And I know I have not made over over 200 gallons of water in that time frame

Yea sounds like a water quality issue
 
xj_matt said:
What makes no sense is that I am not pumping any TDS out of it when making water I don't know where else to check except for change in membrane out
