The barber is a great one. I also love “What’s Opera, Doc” based on Ride of the Valkyries. Who am I kidding, I love them all.
Off the wall questions. :- )Hello,
Okay it’s officially drive me nuts because I can’t seem to find a reason or typical reasons why a tank or my tank would go from 1.5 tablespoons of alk and calcium a day (literally every day for almost a year), to hardly any at all for over a week now. All corals sps look great fish are good, (lost a scoly in two days and my blue and green hammer is still mad but the frogspawn is happy as anything. My clam is doing well etc.
I’m curious if Boise massive temp swing had anything to do with it. 50s one week then high 80s-90s next? Possibly a low ph but that was tested like two weeks ago and was 8.1. Maybe add more oxygen to the tank? I can’t be the new uv steralizer because it’s not here yet. Heat is at 79-80 in the tank and has been for some time now. I feed the corals this week already twice, and last week. Haven’t added fuel in awhile and pretty sure my trace elements are not too high.
Maybe just needs a 30 gallon water change for the giggles. I do super small ones but usually 5 gallons once a month since I dose. Any one have this happen before and where they able to figure out why?
Off the wall questions. :- )
If alk and calcium additions are needed when the coral grows, that means the coral is growing less right now.
Has your local water department changed any chemical usage?
Has your LFS (where you get your water) had any RODI filter issues lately?
You do small water changes. Nothing enormous.
Possible new water is just enough to mildly annoy some of your corals?
Local city switched from chlorine to chloramine decades ago.
Didn't tell anyone at the time.
Didn't realize it would matter to some people.
Fresh water LFS found out the hard way it mattered a lot.
Huge die offs because chloramine doesn't dissipate quickly like chlorine does in a tank environment.
LFS needed a whole new protocol from just "aeration for 24 hours then good to use".
Paul B has mentioned his locak city water chemistry changes in the past drastically altering his RODI filter depletion.
So have many others.
Check with your local water department.
I don't remember what you did/didn't do over the fish/ich issue.
Any changes that might have been enough to annoy a few of your corals?
In spite of a few minor setbacks, it sounds like your system is still amazing. :- )
Don't go overboard chasing stuff.

A lot of people dig shallow wells here for yard irrigation. Some of them are fine and a lot spray liquid rust. :-/Hello,
I don’t use any city water at all for my tank, but maybe my lfs does. All water parameters have been consistent with what’s normal but the usage has declined. Alkalinity for the first time went back to 1.5 tablespoons last night, in over a week, that’s with me testing daily and dosing whatever amount to stay at 8. Usually it was .5 tablespoon or less and more. This is the fourth day in a row my calcium has stayed at 440. I’ll test tonight and see what it shows up as, salinity has been at 1.025 from mine and tests from lfs. I did notice when I turned the lights down alk spiked up again, maybe I need to cut some daylight out and make them utilize the light they have. Will do it slowly of course but makes me wonder.

The iron content is crazy.
You can see the 'rust' on the base of the houses if the irrigation spray pattern installation was done poorly.
Our actual drinking water comes from small lakes spread throughout the area.
Does Boise use municipal wells for drinking water or local lakes?
The main issue would be municipal water works switching to a newer, 'improved' chemical (for human health, hopefully not just because it's cheaper...Flint, Michigan) and the new chemicals having unexpected adverse side effects to things other than people.
I hear sps are finicky. I can't keep them alive more than a few months at a time to find out. :-/
Hope you have a wonderful Father's Day with your family.

LOL! I so want pictures.Did you wear swimmies while placing those just in case?
