So I found out my problem...I had the heater off. Lol.
Oops.
I dumped my whole skimmer cup in my sump last week before going to work too. Lol. Oops.
Good thing is if I didn't do that. I wouldn't of caught the heater switch being off. Hopefully a big turn around from here.
Lol

Dangit!

Lol wait a minute so you never seen your temp gauge at 70 degrees till today if you had an apex or other controller your alarms would be going crazy

No my temp stayed good during the day with my high 8 bulb to light and pumps. Prob not during the winter... I'm guessing I got temp flux during the night though.
My two glass thermometers I keep in my sump area. 1 floater. 1 sinker. To keep out of my display so not to be an eye sore.

I'm not a technology person. Not tech savy. I don't believe computers are needed to run a reef tank.
Good thing I didn't just keep buying corals. Lol!

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

Yes I agree. The alarms and prob reading woulda gave me a read out and a graph to show the Flux. It prob would have been caught earlier.

I added a ton of carbon in a in tank refugium when my skimmer cup dumped into my sump. Since than my algae and cyano have been receding.

Also 3 of my mushrooms have multiplied! Yay! Lol.
Something good. Lol. Besides me catching my skimmer fluke.
