Reef problem

[Joe Batt]

I have been having major problems with my tank for a while and basically, it is slowly crashing, though all parameters are stable and within normal limits and Triton test shows the same.

Trying to figure out whats going on and one thing that's come to mind is that it has possibly been since I started using a water station that I made.

Has anyone had problems with the plastic tubs in water stations or the like leaching chemicals into the water? The tanks are Chinese in make and the guy had no idea about there quality since he was just a sales guy in a water tank shop. Having looked up on line though they say its food grade plastic
Main material: LLDPE food-grade raw plastic

If it's food grade it should be fine.

What issues are you having?

I found i didnt rinse my tubs out good enough and was getting a high tds reading coming out of the tank. But 0 tds going into the tank. Make sure your tanks are sealed well.

Agreed. I'm curious about what kind of problems you are seeing. Also, could you post the triton results?

How old is the tank? Live rock or dry?
