Been having a hard time with my new tank / Back in hobby after 3 years. Let me know how to get things going in the right direction reef masters! Zoa's and hammer are not looking good.
Main details:
Several bad luck items happened....went on an over night fishing trip / forgot to plug in ATO, reading was 1.029 or 1.030 before I ran to add water. I'd guess it was high for 4 or 5 hours. Next decided to dose Marin all in one for 3 days / started with 6ml. Things started to look worse so I stopped and did a few WC....Then friends wedding in Mexico / out of town for 5 days and couldn't keep an eye on it. Everything isnt doing great and I am pretty sure I have Chrysophytes - it comes off in sheets / sometimes big pieces look like "bark," from a tree.
What should I do? Thank you!
