Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Normally (no expert) if you have calcium thats REAL high either your mag or alk are low. I would test these as well and see where you're at with those.
Didn't loose any fish. Fish are great.
Up until about 3 days ago I barely had a substrate. It was bare in spots. I did turkey baste the rocks about once every other week. Since the sump was put online I did take ALL my rock out and give it a good rinse in a bucket of tank water.
The caulk...
So my tank is still not up to par and I don't know why. When I added my 20L sump and put the bigger skimmer online things just went all hay wire. I lost some SPS , the LPS are not fully inflated, and the zoa's and softies aren't opening fully either.
When I built the sump I used GE SiliconI...
I got it recently for $20 so I'll let it go for that as well. Just know it is a snail killer. I've seen it knock snails off the glass here and there but I watched it rip a nassarius snail out of the sand and now its just a empty shell.
My tank kinda went to sh** so I figured now would be the best time to add it. LOL.
I might just do like jraz said and empty the tank and start a new as the algae situation is getting out of control. Probably do some good pulling the rocks out and giving them a good shake out.
