Hey all,
So I haven't been around in a long while on either the forum or club meetings. First I never expected to have problems with my tank but it had a crash some point during the summer time. I believe it was a combination of a temperature spike and along with using kalkwasser in my ato, the water was evaporating at a exponential rate and the amount of Kalk cooked most my corals. I lost all my sps, lps and zoas. The fish, anemones, gorgonians, mushroom and softie made it. Dealt with a large cyano bloom for a while and now finally getting the nutrients down before getting more coral. Overall the tank looks great now from when this happened. My 1 bubble tip is now close too 10 and the fish are fat and happy.
The tank crash was wicked depressing and just watching the coral die extremely quick. Needless to say I no longer use Kalk in my ato and switched over to aquaforest reef salt and have been doing weekly water changes. I will be setting up my doser with comp 1,2,3 and begin balling. I will keep all updated and hope to make this months meeting.
