I’m surprised no one was able to identify this problem and was being able fix it. It does feel the tank is sterile.I’m on board with this, but I need to get these corals moved from the 10-gallon they’re in. The bio load of the NPS is just too significant for such a tiny tank and I can’t keep up with the 2-3X per week water changes it would need for me to really be able to feed them the way I should.
I hate the idea of starting over just to start over again after we move, but it sounds like our move has been pushed back a bit, so I don’t think it would be that pointless to get things running well now.
Plus, if everyone is healthy and happy before we move, I feel like they’ll have better chance of survival when the time actually comes.
