Your Phosphate is very high, but you are right that alone should not cause quick meltdowns. Additionally some of your other parameters are off, which, in addition to the high phosphate can cause big problems pretty quickly. Your pH is low (should be aiming for 8.2-8.4), and your Alkalinity is...

Run high quality carbon in your tank, in a proper reactor. The carbon will remove the allopathy. if your tank improves, you know you had corals releasing those toxins. Leathers and many mushrooms are considered known offenders of allopathy. Before all that though, what are your tank's chemical...

Glad to help Olivier! I had to leave to meet up with Howze, and friends for dinner. Turns out that Jane didn't get back in time so we missed it anyway. I could have helped to eat the pizza! With the busted brace, and it being hard to find that brace again, maybe now is the time to upgrade to...

So sorry to hear this Olivier. If I can help on whatever day you need it, I will. And when you get the tank up and running again, I will help with frags of whatever I may have at the time. If you have any surviving live stock, I have a hospital tank set up, and a frag tank set up.

Another Vote for Aquatic obsessions here. Will is a class act, and carries a great variety of live stock both sessile & motile. His display tank is something else too, he has a lot of very cool stuff in there. Additionally he carries lots of reefing odds and ends that I have a hard time finding...

Heya Brian! I use a 40b for my sump, as it was the largest tank I could fit under my stand. I recently installed 3 dosing pumps to dose 2 part and vodka. It seems to work well so far!

Tony my friend! How have you been? Hopefully everything is a bit better now? Are you going to the swap?

Thank you Sunny! You have some of the nicest coral going too! How is the tang family enjoying the display tank?

Hey Phil, That's why I love this hobby, and you guys here in our little corner of the hobby. Always a helpful & great group! Thanks for the offer my friend!

Heya Bax! I refuse to give up!

LOL Kevin, I just told him-he shook his head. Don't worry, you never actually quit this hobby, I am convinced, he'll be back one day. And Mike, I am looking forward to seeing you and Nikki at the swap! My parameters are just about perfect again, tonight's full test results: Alk=10.2dKH/180ppm...

Thank you guys! I am glad to be back, and looking forward to rebuilding. I am VERY excited for the swap!

Heya Brian! Glad to be back!

Hey Bob, Yep, Jonathan will be there as well!

Hey all! It has been a very long time since I have posted here, so I decided to give an update-as I hope and am excited that I will see you all at the frag swap that is coming up soon! I have not been around much because my tank completely crashed a while ago, and I've barely wanted to even...

Phil, I'm thinking of going maybe saturday, if that's okay with Sunny (I still haven't pm'ed him :() Things are going crazy for me, as I am trying to get prepared to leave for key west on Monday (I know, tough life right?) LOL.

Wow this is awsome, I am very lucky! Thank you Nate, and Sunny! I can't wait to get the new corals!!

I got a rather snotty warning of there for a post of mine in which I wrote the more colorful version of the word "crap". I get the fact that it's a family website, and my language in person, and typwritten is certainly not "pg" but I didn't need the jerky insults in the warning. LOL

Charlie has always been a class act, really a very very good guy, and I can;t say enough good things about pet shanty. Howze and I used to stop there constantly after work, when it was on the way home, for freshwater odd and ends. As far as marine fish goes, they don't have much-but what they do...

WOW. I can't tell you how much I want those! I already have a female M. meleagris, and in the wild these actually do hang out in small groups...hmmmm
