My Tank Thread
We very rarely see pictures of a healthy system, then the crash, then the rebirth of the same systems. Were you embarrassed? Frustrated, Or just gave up?
A little back story. I have been reefing on and off for some time now. When I set up my current system with all the new gadgets and technology. I figure what the heck, this cannot be as hard as is was back in the day. Back in the day meaning when and if one could keep a coral a live for a few weeding. This is one of the reasons I kept fish only tank until now.
After setting up my current system, it was exciting. New lighting, controllers, dosers, new testing, equipment, and of course places like R2R for information.
I was doing pretty good until, my system starting dying off slowly. I check, check again. Made changes, checked again and the system was still dying off. What cause my die off? Simple but not so simple. This is the tease
Let see those before the crash
After the crash
and your system coming back to life pictures
And what caused your system crash to help others in the future
Before
After the crash 3/1//20
And today 4/16/22 it has been a long battle, but worth the knowledge
