Hey Dave,

As we talked about this test, wouldn't this illustrate that it's not a water parameter issue but a light or irritant on the rock issue? The only other available variable is flow but in your setup that's not an issue.

SPS STN on the rocks but then are fine on the sand bed. The next test is to take a coral that is in an STN state and place it next to a coral down on the sand bed next to a healthy sample. If all is well then it's the light or irritant associated with the rock (or on the rock). If it STN's then it has to be a pest of some sort is what I would think.

(sorry for the thread-jack)

No worries but sounds like an honest idea.
