No Deb ,I haven't
Actually here is what happened.
I bought a reactor from DOug and had it going ,for a week and then i bought some heavy coraline encrusted rock from doug.

so i thought the the calcium would drop . . so i ran the reactor at 40 bubbles per min and alk was 50ml per min Well i left it for about 3-4 days and then after i received my tests kits from J&l's i tested with the new salfirt CAL and ALK. i tested it

Well i messed up and read the test backward yes BACKWARDS
the cal said 650 not 65!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the alk was 15.5 yes
so the hippo was freaked out and received ick with that it all started from that .
SO in the long run lessoned learned
I lose my basselet
achilles tang
scopas tang
1 of the coral beauty\ies and maybe the other one will find out after todaywhen i get home.

SO that all happened in last weekend.........

Doesn't matter how much you have been reading until you take the plunge.
You don't know as much as you think.
