[N1tew0lf1212]

@F i s h y @fishguy242 thank you both for listening to me rant a couple times and just being there to talk
.....After a few rough weeks and some issues on the reef i finally have this thing back in shape. Lost a few things in the process but he we learn from it. Items lost
Mint green torch 2 head.
Rainbow trachy
Trumpets (both pairs)
Cactus coral one shelf piece.
Green slimer acros both colonies
Deepwater acro (smooth skin)
All of my birds nest
Purple stylo
Now what ive learned. Always keep cipro on hand. Always trust you gut on when to remove or move to qt for observation. Never give up. I have had a lot of help from @Lost in the Sauce over the last few weeks and i will say he is a blessing. I have some awesome friends here and locally that are willing to help whenever needed and i feel blessed for that. With that said first schlammmm bamm pics in awhile but glad and happy about getting to this point.

I'm sorry you're currently living the worst part of reefing.

Losing animals is terrible. We spend so much time and money trying to create an optimal environment to help them thrive. It's gut wrenching when we lose them.

You are not alone. I've got a biocube hospital tank set up right now trying to save a few colonies.

Thanks for everything bro you saved my reef big time with helping to create an action plan. Things are looking a lot better and i couldnt of done it without you. Still a long road to recovery but im excited to be at this point.

Day 5-6 under a Cipro regiment is usually the turning point. I'm still two days out

Thats about when things started turning for me but for the last few days been trying to get parameters back in line and doing a lot of testing to be sure.

Stability over the numbers.

I have the 306T (non WiFi, early model). It's been good for me!

Same here no issues with the no-wifi 306 model! Tip I learned but have not spent time to implement yet, if you use the Inkbird to turn your heaters on and off (vs just as a fail safe), Fahrenheit has a 1 degree temp +/- but you get more precise if you run in Celsius.
