Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
So sorry for your losses. I am still positive that this is nitrite related. Did you test again for nitrite?
This is a good read. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-06/rhf/index.php#6
Where are you located?
I am sorry but there are quite a few flags here. You say you cycled the rock with bio-spira? Bio-Spira is live bacteria that needs to be fed. So when you use it you need to add some fish with it to keep it going. If you added it with rock for 2 weeks without a nitrate source you just killed it...
Actually, with all due respect I tend to disagree. This guy is going through a cycle and doing a water change at this stage will cause more harm.
He should add bacteria and let that take effect. Consider this situation as a new tank cycle and you do not do water changes when you cycle a tank.
No. Nitrites will kill fish a lot faster than corals. You posted that you tested for nitrites and you have some. When did you test? You had no ammonia then. Can you test for ammonia and nitrites again?
I just saw this post. You say you have nitrites in your system? That is not good. Your tank is cycling. I suggest you get a bottle of biospira and dump it in there ASAP. Aquatic obessions in Avenel sells it.
I upgraded my mp60wes today to quite drives. The kit was $100 each. I have 2 mp60wes and they are now quite drive. I must say it is a HUGE difference in noise. They are so quite I thought they were not running. The flow seems to have increased also.
Anyone who has mp60wes, the upgrade is worth...
Get these. They are all built in and only 7 inches wide. I got 2 of them in 24 inch size. Cheap and work really well. Come and take a look if you want to.

As some of you know and have seen the tank under T5, I was still running a Fathom LED on either side of the tank. My corals were always happy under Fathoms but the color on left and right did not match with the middle of the tank.
So I added a 24 inch 2 bulb T5 fixture on either side of the...
