Reefing newb
Hi, I am a 37 year old married male who has been into saltwater reef tanks for over 15 years. I first started with a 30gal nano back in 1995 and have moved up slowly to what I have now which is a 100gal reef. I recently had something happen to my 100gal tank that has been up and running great for eight months. One night when I could not fall asleep, I started to take some pictures of the tank to show some co-worker. The pictures I took at 1130 showed a good looking tank but when I got up at 500am the tank what completly white. All the fish where dead and I lost most of my corals. I did test the water that night before going to bed and it read as pH 8.1, KH greater than 300, NO2 0, NO3 less than 10, and AMMONIA was 0. In the morrning was a flat 7 and everthing else was a flat 0. Has anyone else heard of something like this?
I did do a lot of work for the next three days and did save the tank for the most part just real worried it could happen again.
