Massive RTN event

My thoughts too. So I'm just letting it run, and adding back SW.

Do you have a refractometer with calibration solution?

 

[homer1475]

Yup.

1.026. I have a refractometer(properly calibrated with calibration solution, not RO/DI), hanna conductivity, and milwaukee digital. I know my salinity. lol

I also keep a written log of my parameters when I test, and anything I've done to the tank. Going back to the beginning of the tank.

I'm old school. I prefer pen and paper over electronics.

How many sps corals are we actually talking about here? 5? That could easily occur from a minor swing you didnt even register. Buy a 10-20 piece sps pack and start again. Too much overthinking it! Try some different strains and stay stable. Super large water changes, running carbon/gfo and throwing meds in are all to be avoided as much as possible. You got off easy, this is nothing.

Retracted my post lol. Didn't realize there was 5 pages

That’s good. As simple as it sounds salinity is something that is often forgotten about.

How we looking today?

Worked a 15'er yesterday so never even looked at the tank.

Today nothing looks worse, but not any better either.

15 on New Year's Day? That is the short end of the stick brother. ;)

I just hope you figure this out. The worst part is the mystery crashes. Took me almost two months to figure out my last little series of casualties.

If it makes you feel any better, this stuff seems to happen in December...

Acro Blood Bath

Acro Blood Bath: No its not some new trendy acro from Jason Fox, Shane Becker or MattV. It's my tank crash. Started losing acros on Saturday night. Did some fragging and thought nothing of it. Trident readings were inline with Hanna and Salifert. TDS at 0. (2 post RO. 0 after DI) SG 1.026...

Can you double check the condition of your magnets on all your pumps? Id bet its one of them. Check for swelling and cracks. Good luck!

Surprisingly, my green slimer is slowly getting flesh back, and that nice green color. The other acro's, not so much. Fox flame, pinky the bear, and princess peach are toast.
