Little update...the last two weeks have been kind of a roller coaster. When I decided to switch the seal on my return pump, I had major issues and it ended up leaking. The tank went 3 days without a return pump, ATO or Calcium Reactor.
I finally was able to get a return pump going but some of the corals have been unhappy ever since. A few acros have been sliming and I’ve had a little STN on my Jedi mind trick Monti. I’ve kept things as stable as possible but still am seeing some signs of stress.
The only other change during this time period is I started dosing sodium nitrate, which I have decided to stop until things settle down. This tank has run super stable for over a year until now so it’s a little frustrating when it starts going downhill. I will say this is the last Reeflo pump I will ever use. I will be going with mag drive pumps going forwad. They are a much better design even if they do use slightly more wattage.
