Tyree Purple Monter

Lost my colony, looking to replace with a new frag. I know it's very rare these day :grumpy:

hey jackson did you check your pockets? no but seriously what do you think happened to it .are there any other fatalities ,the reason i am asking is that i recently lost 4 of my acros that were very well established no idea what happened all my other ones are doing great

 

[jackson6745]

No other fatalities. In the early summer my alk shot to 14 DKH and I lost a bunch of acros, and just about every acro had stn. I got things under control and the tank has been doing well since. The piece of PM that I was able to save went dormant (best way I can describe it) it turned into a brown/green blob and stayed like that until last night, when it RTN.

Here is a pic of it before my mishap in the summer.

i dont know but i did switch to a larger sump thats the only thing that i changed but i tried to keep a close eye on the parameters and did not see any changes it still has me baffled i love my acros but i must admit that we are slaves to them.ps. that was a beautiful acro great color

You will probably have to go online to get this piece but good luck finding it locally!
