I use Android but I'm told you can upload to a Youtube account and then post a link to your thread.

That works well, just post to utube and attach the link here. Looking forward to seeing a video.

Looks fantastic! Very nice system. Mangroves look great too.

Heavy photo dump. I wish I could improve the SPS polyp extension. I’d love some advice in that area.

Got some STN and will be trying Andre Mueller’s Witch Hazel regimen. I will follow up with results when it’s complete.

Best of luck with treating that. I'll be interested to see the results.

Any update on the witch hazel treatment?

Any update on the witch hazel treatment?

I did the treatment, STN seemed to have stopped. A few weeks later, I started noticing the STN again. I just started the treatment again. This time, I will do two weeks instead of one.
What I like about the treatment is I did not notice any negative effects on the tank. Alk consumption stayed the same.

I started the treatment last night, I'm glad to hear it helped. Did you figure out the cause of the STN?

I did not. It's only a few SPS colonies. I wish I could identify the problem but I believe that there are to many variables. The only thing that was off on the ICP test was the fluoride. It was really low. I have since corrected that. I have completed the treatment. We will see in the next few weeks if it returns. I do have some copper in the system as well but it was not there on the last ICP test when the STN was first dealt with so I do not think it's the copper.

Yesterday was my 6th day and things are looking a lot better for me. Did you notice a few point ph drop with the treatment? A big alk swing and drop in ph (from overcorrecting) is what started my STN so seeing ph drop with the treatment worried me. It hasn’t dropped below 7.8 so I think things are ok.

I did not see any negative effects. No swings on PH or Alk. It seemed like a safe process. Are you dosing the ProBidio BioDigest. I dosed a bunch. I did four vials the first day and then altered between 2 and 1 bottle on following days during the process.

Yes I doubled up biodigest on day 1 with some Dr tims ecobalance (because its supposed to be anti vibrio) and then 1 bio digest every other day. Im going to stop today and see how my PH recovers and if the corals stay healthy.
