![]() I need help please! My tank suffered a nasty crash as a result of a recent move on the 24th.
Timeline: 24th - 3pm tank contents goes into 5 buckets - 7pm arrive in Calgary - Everything unloaded (except one dead fish) into the new tank by 10pm. Temperature stable, everything looks good. Circulation provided by hydor koralia, 2 maxijets, and skimmer. 25th - sump comes online 26th - RTN beggins of SPS - Death of 2 clams, crocea, and maxima 27th - more death of SPS 28th - more death of SPS 30th - death seems to have stopped 4th - death of another clam There are photos in the thread above about what the tank looks like. I'm seeing brown algae on my rocks and the remaining skeletons. There is neon green algae build up on my glass. All the fish are eating well, all my inverts are doing well. Ideas that have come up as possible causes - ammonia from dead fish on the 24th triggered a cycle some how (I didn't use any of the water the dead fish was in, just the rock). - sponge/bacteria die off triggered a cycle - something got into the tank (if it did I'm thinking it happened the 25th, or 26th) - Ocean Pro Pure salt triggered something. I began using it RIGHT before the diaster. Possible Solutions - Zeovit, or a similar product - continual water changes (I do 7g a day, the system is about 45g in total) - let the cycle run its course. What I am doing - running carbon - running hypersorb - running nitrate sponge - running phosphate sponge (but at least all my GHA is gone) - daily water changes - ensuring all my fish eat a varied diet to keep their immune systems up - running lights as normal - watching the tank and photodocumenting its rise/decline/whatever its doing. So help! Please! |
