So after years of manually dosing I decided to try that Sea chem #28 block. The fish store guys said they use it on their system as well as systems they serve. I read the instructions and it clearly states that it will buffer properly and not cause toxic shock syndrome......
WELL GUESS WHAT!?!
So I placed a block in last night, and woke up to a cloudy white water tank with death and destruction wrought upon my reef. I didn't go to work and have done a 75%eater change....NO² AND NO³ levels are through the roof. Did another 25% water change and levels will not come down......any ideas?
I had a mature tank of over 3 years, previous levels of N where at or around .000 ppm. Now I have NO² and NO³ off the charts....I don't get it any ideas? I have refugium, skimmer etc.. also a external canister filter for Xtra filtration. Nearly all fish dead, I did fish cpr on a clown and was able to save it from the toxic shock ( that's another story ) so now all my expensive corals are in a 6 gal nano till this gets better...also have some left in main tank as no more will fit....
So any help would be nice.
