thanks, all! Best money I spend is to support this site with all the support given so freely here!!congratulations on your 3 year mark, you'll get your tank straightened out soon enough. we all have those times when our tanks can run amuck for a while.
hugs on losing that. Losses like that hurt!! I have lost some big colonies. I notice my cysphastrea is getting green on it again so hope it pulls thru. Most lps is fine but I've lost most of the sps. A few left. Guess I need to go to my spreadsheet and updateDefinitely hang in there! Sometimes it's hard to keep up with these larger tanks; they're slow to develop a problem but once it's in full-swing it's often a lot harder to correct (you have to reduce things gradually).
My alkalinity spiked to well over 11 in a very short period of time (the Trident failed and I'd become too complacent with it and wasn't independently testing as often) and I lost this massive chip's acro (which was a fish favorite). I placed it next to a standard sports water bottle for size.
I spent the next few weeks f**king around with the Trident to get it working again (weeks of "Bad Alk/Ca/Mg" range errors) which involved removal, draining, cleaning, etc. Ultimately I got it working again but I honestly couldn't tell you what I did. I think maybe I got some debris (or a small spirorbid worm) in the sample line and it took it's sweet a** time to dissolve or get flushed out.
