Our local LFS salinity is usually low because they save money on salt, I would let them know so they aren't wasting money and causing your prices to be higher.

you say your parameters were x,y, and z, did you test after the fish died?

+1 for Chemiclean, dosed last weekend, lights out for 2 days, water change, and not a speck of red slime now. Zero negative impacts. That is the only chemical I use/trust to date.

Test for mag my duncans were pissed when I elevated mine for bryopsis. Oh yeah WHY ARE WE YELLING?

Nice! I'm jealous

Favor (n.)- assumed auto correct for favia.

Blues 1100-2000 Whites 1230-1900 Sump light is a marineland basic led 2300-0500

I agree with this, however i have found potential issues with water parameters before corals start to show it from testing. I test Ca and Mag every 2 weeks and the basics weekly. After a while you'll find a routine that works well for you.

I am another Cyano fighter. Instant Ocean standard (non RC). Been having issues on and off, mostly on, since November. 125gallon reef tank, 20 gal sump lots of LR I feed mysis/coral frenzy/cyclopeeze every other day, 10 fish (3 clowns, 4 PJ cardinals, 1 chromis, 2 wrasses) I top off daily...

99% of the time if you hear of them going rogue it's on zoas so definitely a possibility. For years I have had them co-habitate and never had an issue, but now I have no explanation on why the zoas are melting and my asterina population is at an all time high. I still have coralline though, and...

Heres another for instant ocean and a GD cyano problem. Didn't consider the salt, maybe it's time for a change. Don't give up hope Erin, my tank is pretty shameful at the moment too.

I tried this with a simple float valve. In my application Aquarian was dead right and when the valve tried to close it would hammer open and close with some serious vibrations. The whole RO/DI unit was shaking like a mofo. Until I get some $$ for another pump, a switch, some wiring, etc, I top...

Civic I know this is an old thread but how are your shrimp. My zoas have been melting recently and its happening while my asterina population is booming. Not sure if its a coincidence but im ready to get rid of these little buggers.

If I need non stock plumbing fittings in a pinch I call around to the local swimming pool stores, otherwise Amazon.

No doubt. Luckily i am a managing partner so my say for the most part goes. I would have to say i would be upset if an employee used that much electricty without asking. We have had a real tough winter and space heaters with associated electrical bills have already overtaxed our budgets all around.

Do you have an ATO? if not can i ask why not the salinity probe?

I had a 20 gallon long in my office for a couple of years. With the evolution of the 'green kick' and people being anal about energy efficiency it kind of divided our office. Some people didn't like that I was powering a powerhead, HOB fuge pump, skimmer pump, lights, and a heater for only 8...

First off, who the heck puts a bumper sticker on their fish tank? I am with salt tho you look light on rock and plan on new sand. And a good long equipment vinegar soak. Here is what I would say about the water: you know the livestock are ok in the water that is currently in the tank (*generally...

I am sure there's a scientific reason, but I've lost a couple colonies over the years and they always seem to end up covered in nasty algae. My tank isn't in the best of shape at the moment, but even when it was nice and clean I had two old colonies that ended up getting cyano. Only them...

how old is the tank?
