So I had an incident recently. I run a custom anaerobic digester that gets dosed sugar and controls my nitrates/phosphates/sulfates. The dosing pump failed and overdosed the system. I noticed the tank getting foggy from a bacterial bloom and did some testing. The fish were obviously stressed. After testing I found the oxygen level bottomed out. I added a lot of carbon bags and a couple of pumps to aerate the system and everything recovered fairly quickly except I did lose 1 fish.
Does anyone here use an oxygen monitor? I have a pinpoint that I use occasionally but only to solve problems. The Neptune system, while impressive, is way overpriced IMHO. I might spend the money on it in the future but after reefing for 25+ years without something like that it makes me wonder if it's worth it.
