Do you still have this guy?
From what I can deduce I believe the crash was due to an error of my new digital refractometer. Essentially I think the tank’s salinity drifted with each water change and over time became too salty. I’ve since corrected this issue and I’ve gotten things back under control.
Yea it must have been related to that, I’m going back to my old trusted refractometer now. Trying to maintain an sps tank through proxy can be a bit difficult especially when trying to diagnose issues with the tank.Man I have seen refractometers cause tank crashes for so many people, experienced or not, more so experienced, because we get used to our routine. Most of the time it ends up being because the glass on the unit goes bad. Do you think that’s what happened to your digital? I do know they are much more delicate too. Since noticing so many friends have crashes like that I have always had a digital which I trust the most but also keep a top notch standard refractometer and always keep my fluid updated. I check against the two almost every other use to avoid any errors.
Thanks for sharing what happened, it’s a tough thing to realize when it ends up being something simple like that I am sure. Hopefully others will double check their results against another kind of equipment now and maybe someone will avoid a potential crash like this. Keep the superb pics coming!
How long have you been dosing each?Sorry to read about your crash Hung. Thats always gut wrenching...
My last 2 ATI ICP showed the same thing. 0 Iodine. So I have been dosing 1mL of the ATI Iodine each week after a WC for the last 6 weeks. I just sent in another ATI ICP so we will see if the dosing helped it move it any.
I also started dosing manganese, strontium and potassium in the recommended dosages each week. I am noticing very nice color on all my acros. But the biggest difference I’ve noticed is in my goni’s. They are going nuts with color, growth and PE!
6 weeksHow long have you been dosing each?
Yup! I've notice the same thing with my lps as well. My brains, acans, gonis all have gotten extremely puffy, kind of ridiculous since I thought they were already doing great before. This really goes to show how useful these ICP tests are for our reefs.Sorry to read about your crash Hung. Thats always gut wrenching...
