Sad news for my shallow build.
During the holiday season, Christmas follow by New Year.
Spend my time merry making and totally leave this tank alone.
Come back on 2nd Jan and found
1. Temperature at all time high 32 Deg
2. KH drop to 4
3. SPS, hammer, GSP, RBTA are white
 
Do a check and find the chiller hose slip out of the feed pump.
Feed back the hose to the feed pump.
Temperature start to lower .
 
Both PO4 and NO3 is very high as measured last nite

PO4 is 0.6 and NO3 is 40.

Really hard to control PO4 and NO3 without skimmer and no water change
