    My tank crashed big time while I was away, I'm sad

    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...

    My tank crashed big time while I was away, I'm sad

    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...

    My tank crashed big time while I was away, I'm sad

    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...

    purple pseudochromis w/ cloudy puffy eye

    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...

    New sediment filter in RODI unit is brown after making 25 Gal

    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...
