Looks like the damn Dinos are coming back. 4th time in 1.5 years no clue why it keeps happening. Will setup the ugly bulky UV sterilizer tomorrow and cut lights back.I
This truly sux.

I believe I have them pretty heavy but all good. I’ll beat them. As I know you will

 

[MadReefer]

Matt, just so many times I am tired of dealing with them. Why i lost both fish th st were big grazers and supposedly toxic if fish eats it from what I have read.
Good luck

 

[MadReefer]

Woke and my Flame Angel at the bottom breathing heavy and can't swim. Got him in a container now but not looking good. UV is running now. Just wondering if I should try Chemiclean too.

 

[MadReefer]

Added chemiclean
Started 3 day blackout
Making water to get ready for WC

 

[Sponge]

Best of luck

What's your tank maintenance schedule like.

 

[amado]

Have you tried no-pox?

 

[MadReefer]

Have you tried no-pox?

No I have not.

 

[MadReefer]

What's your tank maintenance schedule like.

Only running a month after upgrade. Just replace filter floss when dirty. Will do WC Thursday.

 

[amado]

I would dose 1/2 the suggested amount of no-pox once you get the tank cycle.

Thanks, I need to do something. Not sure if I should dose or get a permanent UV in place.

 

[amado]

I will never run a tank without Nopox.
I am reconsidering the need for a refugium.
No pox is so affective. It’s $25 a bottle but you won’t have any phosphate or nitrates in your tank.

Just start slow and adjust your tank as needed.

I have read that Dinos can start from a fuge/cheato. My sump is small so no fuge. Was thinking inline UV but not sure.

 

[MadReefer]

Black out over.
Sand looks clean, started up UV.
Waiting for Hippo tang & engineer Toby to come out.
Only two fish i cannot find.
Will see how corals looks tomorrow when lights come in.

 

[MadReefer]

WC finished, sand was dirty.
Skimmer still going crazy.
Can't find engineer goby but it doesn't come out often.

 

[MadReefer]

Tank was not looking well. Did some tests and man the numbers are off.
Calc-300
Alk-6
PH-8.6
Phos-0.25
Nitrate-15
Raised calc n Alk, will retest tomorrow.
I assume WC to bring down Nitrate?

 

[Sponge]

Yes water change will lower you nitrates. Plus will have the added benefit of slightly fixing the other parameters you did not note your salinity. Check that as well if it’s off enough it will effect other parameters

 

[MadReefer]

Matt. Salinity is 29 PPT or 1.022.

 

[amado]

What are you using to test 8.6 ph is almost impossible
