Ive been a little quiet lately.....the tank had its first hiccup....its currently going through a large (to me) die off....here is some of the victims...

Pink/red millipora....dead


watermelon favia....dead


candycane....dead


acan....dieing


and these acros all browned out and look like butt






Im not sure exactly what happened....as I posted earlier, my "big three" dropped way low after a change to my dosing....but thats it....everything else tests out fine.....

That does suck, sorry man. FWIW, I empathize. Honestly, I think it's something of a rite of passage in a mixed tank. Although it could well be the change in dosing. Things literally can be that sensitive to change. It's not that one method is better or worse than another, but the bump in the road caused by changing methods has ripple effects. If it is the change in methods, just stay the course, changing back will only make it worse .. things *should* bounce back eventually.
