Hey guys... well... i want to thank all of you for again coming thru and helping me figure out what the heck was going on with my tank... I finally got to Trop last night around 5ish... tested the water and the guy told me my water was "Pristine"... except for "COPPER"... it was reading 10ppm...

I have a network issue at my work so don't know when I can get out to trop to have the water tested and purchase the copper test... fish and crabs look fine...

Barely warm... something is def wrong... almost all my snails are dead... crabs are fine and they didn't kill the snails...

Okay shut down pumps for both reactors... I will still have my water tested tomorrow at the lfs and if they don't also test for copper I will buy a kit and test myself. So basically the only thing doing well in my tank are the fish, my emerald crab, all my hermit crabs and I'm not sure about my...

I read two things i wanted to ask about.... 1st is along the lines of what I think you were saying which is if i have carbon, gfo and an Reef Octopus 110 i might be skimming the good nutrients out of the water... 2nd. I see there is a Copper test kit and some filtration media if my test is...

I will go to the store tomorrow as soon as they open.. I've been doing weekly / sometimes twice a week water changes about 10 gallons each time to get the salinity to 1.025 .

No rusty magnets... I do have a metal clamp on my return hose but it's not rusted...

I don't have an alk test kit. I will buy one tomorrow. I got the tank from a friend of a friend. I don't think so but can't be 100 % sure.

I make my own water... I use Red Sea Coral Pro... they came from saltwaterfish.com ... I didn't check the water in the bag... I was told to just temp acclimate by floating then take them out of the bag after a half hour

Getting worse... I have no idea what is wrong... I can't go to trop until tomorrow... All my new Siefert Test are posted above... I'm doing another 20 gallon water change hopefully later tonight... Anyone understand why this is happening... the fish and inverts are doing fine... It's just frags...

Just got home and tested calc..400 but corals look almost dead and now the anemone is closed and not looking good at all... ugh!

Anemone Update - Hey guys what do you think about this idea... I put a 4 inch acrylic container in my tank, cut out the bottom and put the anemone in this new 4 inch bed while maintaining a 1 inch bed in the rest of my display. If he decides to move for light or flow then I relocate the acrylic...

Hey guys... I wanted to give a quick update and ask a question... I've been running for a couple of weeks... and everything is going great... my salt is back to 1.025... I have calibrated my Refractor with a solution I bought online and I purchased a hydrometer for a backup/confirmation. I have...

Did it...Thanks guys...

To make the solution

Is bottled water considered purified? Can I use RODI?

I will do. Thank you guys...

So SK... the RODI water off by 2 -3 points... in which direction... if I have it calibrated right now with RODI at 0 should it be at .02-.03 or actually negative?

Yeah I used rodi water... would a place like petco have the solution?
