Everything still looks good with no other loses. I was manually carbon dosing (Vodka) but added a small DIY container today and added it to the last head of the dosing pump.
I did notice ATO chamber was going fast and kept filling it. This weekend realized the hose from float switch to ATO chamber fell off the chamber so was dumping 5g of water in sump a few times. I tested and salinity is 1.025 now with no salt addition.
I added all my RODI water to the display tank then calculated how much salt I need, I went a little under the ratio to be safe. Added heaters and circulating pumps all mixed in a day or two and was good to go. Then I mixed the water for my sump in buckets and had to add manually. Good luck.
Only thing that comes to mind is I used city water to setup the tank. Last few months I started using well water for top off. Maybe I should switch back to city water.
Its not slimy like jelly; its just brown algae.
The coral look a bit better today and no lost heads overnight. Will have to keep an eye on them and see.
I pulled 2 corals - hammer and torch. No brown jelly. The hammer had bunch of sponges and both had vermatid snails. I removed the snails and sponges and did a peroxide dip. I noticed both coral skeletons seemed soft as I easily broke them with my tongs. Any ideas why they seem so brittle?
No clue what the HE!! is going on with the tank. I lost 5 heads of this Hammer over the weekend. LPS has been dropping slowly for a few weeks now and its getting extremely old and tiring.
If I cannot correct this and the tank goes downhill I am out.
