Not sure what has caused it but I'm having some nitrate issues.
I'm losing a lot of sps really fast...
Tank parameters:
Standard 90gallon display tank
40 gallon breeder sump. Left skimmer middle return right fuge
Euro reef 180 skimmer rated for 180 gallons
Mag 18 return pump. Turns the tank 13 times an hour
12 gallon fug miracle mud live rock and a lot of cheato snails and crabs in there
100lb of sand
120lb of live rock
Over 100 pieces of sps and chalices.
8 bulb t-5 fixture.
4 blues on for 12 hours
2 blues 1 Fiji pink 1 lagoon blue 6 hours
Over all 20k look
Tanks been up sences NOV 2012
Red Sea ozone 50 mg/h
If I have forgotten anything please ask
Water chemistry:
Salt gravity 1.024
Po4 phos .03
Nitrate OVER 100ppm
Alk 7dlh and trying to raise to 9-10dkh
Cal 440
Mag 1330
Side note i just started to vodka dose.
I'm on day 2 still dosing .4ml
Day 4 I will be going to .8 ml
Because my nitrates where so high I decided to do some tank maintance and a LRG water change.
I cleaned my sump out and got out everything that was just sitting in there.
While I cleaned the sump I sucked out 15 gallons of water
And replaced it with fresh salt water.
I used tropic marine pro for salt mix
And while the system was down I also pulled out 15 gallons for the display.
I filled the sump up and filled the display tank up and turned my system back on.
Nitrates still reading at 100ppm
And orp is 210.
Normally it's around 290
