I think I found out what was killing my corals prior to the crash. I was using a hydrometer to measure salinity and it was way off. On an off chance I used my refractometer to check the salinity and the tank was at 1.021 the hydrometer was reading 1.024
I double checked the refractometer...
I use a 5 stage rodi. The DI part may need to be changed as the color has almost completely changed. I will change this today just to be sure. I changed only the salt over a gradual period. I'm switching back to reef crystals
It definitely looks like something got in there but I don't know...
Hi All...
It's been a while since I was on here. I'll start by saying that my tank was doing very well at 18 months of age. I battled and defeated cyano 3 months ago but sadly the tank took a downhill turn roughly 6 weeks ago.
First, my corals were closing. I changed the light and tested the...
lost power in No. Plainfield around 10 pm last night. Still no power, generator is keeping tank alive and FIOS running. Charging laptops as cell phnes as needed. Will need gas in 36 Hrs. or so. I can make RODI water for anyone in my area as needed. Bring cell to charge and buckets if you...
those things are impossible to catch. I have to catch mine as he nearly killed my Allen's Damsel. The damsel was pretty chewed up one day. I just finished treating with Melafix in the display tank as I have no QT setup. The Damsel has made a full recovery but is living in a large Beta condo...
Hi All...
I just changed my sediment and carbon filters in my 4 stage RODI unit. I noticed that the snow white sediment filter turned sandy brown after only 25 gallons. I don't remember it discoloring so fast whent I first got it. Does that seem normal?
I don't have a TDS meter, but I will...
I have 10 or so blue leg hermits in my 20L. The dispatched a few nesarius snails and took the shells. I have no nesarious left and only one empty shell in the tank.
I have found the remnants of two hermit crabs over the last few weeks so I'm wondering if I need to get some bigger shells for...
I'm not gonna try antibiotics at this point. It seems ok today. There's one or two small spots that I'll siphon off tomorrow, then I'll change 4 more gallons
The tank is about 9 weeks old. I have skimmer on it and it's functioning well, but i've only had it running about 3 weeks. I change 4 gallons every other week. Total volume is 24 gallons including sump. Bioload is 4 small fish, 7 snails, 10 hermits, and 1 conch and 12 small coral frags.
I think...
