Run carbon, check for stray voltage, maybe put one of those poly filters in

looks like brown jelly on those acans... if they get on something else it will start to kill softies around it

+1 on the brown jelly disease.

Thanks. Being the dumb a$$ that I am I took the infected candy cane in front of a powerhead and blow all the slime off it. Now most if not all of the LPS are infected. How do I eradicate it? I read the use of chloramphenicol but I don't know how to administer it. Thanks.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Peter I would take all of the affected ones out and dip them in an iodine dip and put them in one of your quarantine tanks then do a big water change and run carbon. Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.

Thanks. Other than maybe the scoly I think all my other LPS are affected.
Do one of you have a brute or two that I can borrow to make fresh saltwater? I don't have enough to make a big water change.

 

[Turbosnail]

I do but you would need to come get it.

 

[Chrissy]

I have one that you can use, too.
