Alk is approx. 10dkh, holding fairly steady now. It did get as high as 12 before i realized my cal/alk demand had dropped a bit

Thanks for the kind words everyone. The hardest part is feeling so powerless, you do everything you can and then you have to just sit and wait it out

I know what you are going through Marie , after I lost all my frag to RTN and what ever it was in my tank, I packed it in and went lps and softies... I must have lost about 5-600 dollars in frags that I bought from Gools

Sorry to see you in such termoil. I to am dealing with similar issues. I'm currently running Zeovit and it is far more sensative to ALK spikes. i'm wondering if to a lesser degree your 12 DKH. Might have something to do with it.
I know I racked my brain to find answers, that is the only reason I suggest these things.

Dang Marie. I hope things turn around soon for you. The two buckets of salt I had John bring up to PR should come in handy if you need to do more water changes. Let me know if there's anything I can do from down here to help out.

I've just went through something similar after treating my tank for flatworms nearly 3 months ago. My tank went through a new tank cycle all over again. Now my tank has never looked better, so hang in there! Are you running GFO? It turned the corner for me.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck, I hope things take a turn for the better soon. Good luck vibes being sent your way

Hi Marie

I am sorry to hear of your problems. It seems that even the best go through cycles that test their metal. I know that with your knowledge and past success your tank will look fantastic in the very near future.

On the other hand I am very pleased that the frags I gave you have taken hold and are doing well. I was very concerned as when we arrived at your place I was very disappointed with the way the frags I gave you had transported. I did not think they would make it.

All 4 frags are completely unaffected by whatever is bothering my tank, they look great :mrgreen:
