Sick tank! Help.

[matthew.ryan]

Hey folks - I came home from vacation to a sick tank. No new additions in better than a month. My tang died before I could get him into qt. Now my fox face has these spots and I’m not sure how to treat. I’m wondering if they are nem stings? While I was gone, 1 wk, the ato failed and our house sitter didn’t catch it. It took 6 gallons of RO to fill a nearly dry (gurgling) sump. My tank and sump are ~95 gallons. Thanks for your help.

Hi, this is my first post. Sorry its under these circumstances. While on vacation my ato failed (my house sitter was oblivious) and the sump ran very low (heard gurgling when I walked in the door that evening). I added RO to the tank a few gallons at a time over 24 hours until my I got down to...

Thank you all!

I apologize for the two posts. The first was done from my phone and when it didn't appear I re-posted using my computer. Later I found that they were both there - but needed approval and I wasn't successful in deleting the redundant post.

Appreciate the guidance again,
