Should I do a 50% water change? Lets say all my fishes died, I'm left with 2 cleaner shrimp. When is it ok to add fish again?

I didn't transfer the sand. I used new crushed coral. I used a red sea kit to test my ammonia. Its undetected. Plus if there is elevated ammonia, won't I see it in my coral first?

I had experienced ich before, but it didn't turn into outbreak. Can ich kills off all fish?

I have a 90 gallon reef up for about 2 months. I used to have a 55 gallon reef for about a year and a half. About 3 weeks ago, I transfer everything slowly over. About a week and a 1/2 ago, I noticed my hippo tank didn't eat and hidden. Throughout this week, I loss 2 lystail anthais, 3...

Here it is...I got my calibration solution today and it's reading sg 40. 5 above what it should be. I also checked my cal (450) and alk (8.1), so everything is alright now. But my ro/di is reading below 0 sg on my refractometer.

I have a mark in the sump where water usually sit after a water change, so I just fill up to the mark again with ro/di and I stopped dosing the 1/2 dose of the 2 part that i usually do. After I did a 20% water change today. I'm getting around 1.027 currently. I haven't check cal and alk...

You are not understand what I'm saying. In this thread, I mentioned earlier that I do check when I'm mixing and its read at 1.025. And I check the tank few hours later after the water changed. Adding 2 cups of salt just happened to be at 1.025. I would be crazy to think that the bucket said...

So my buddy checked my water with his refractometer last night. its reading at 1.030. There were some evaporation last night so I added more fresh ro/di to top it off. But I also added another half dose(5ml) of the two part because water alk and cal were still low. I checked the tank water...

I texted him an hour ago, but no reply

No ATO 55gallon with 10 gallon sump with about 70 pounds of rocks. I add about 1 gallon every 2 days.

So the only thing that could be is the calibration on the refractometer?

So after I checked my alk and cal last night. I went to get distill water to calibrate again to see if it was accurate and it was. My mg level is at 1490 and this is all done with Red Sea test kit

Hello all, I have a problem with my water. My salinity with a refractometer is reading at 1.030, so I stopped dosing my two little fish 2 parts for this whole week. I checked last night, my alkalinity(5.0) and calcium(390) are very low and my salinity was at 1.028. So I added a full dose of...

Here is one thing I'm confused about. The flush kit I purchased from marine depot came with it own restrictor but the website said nothing about what size is it. But I used my existing one. That is the only thing i think of that could be wrong.

Sorry I forgot to mention, without the pump, my ro membrane psi was at 40. After I installed the pump, it was at 100psi. From the youtube video, he said not to exceed 80psi. As mentioned in the video, I opened the ball valve to the flush kit to lower the psi down to 75psi. Prior to...

Hi all, I have a 5 stages 100gpd aquafx barracuda system (2 di filters) with brand new filters. I just purchased a booster pump and a ro membrane flush kit thru marinedepot. I installed both according to the youtube video from aquafx and have the water at around 75psi. I noticed the output waste...
