SPS Tank O Death

As far as Marie's possible issues with CO2, the two possible issues that could be caused are a lowering of pH and then ORP as more CO2 enters your system. Having a pH controller and solenoid is the preventative measure. Running a kalk reactor or an extra effluent chamber to counteract excess CO2 is the reactive measure if problems persist.

I've been running a calcium reactor with great success up till this point. The problem was that a 10lb co2 bottle was only lasting me a few months (I was also going through 5lbs of reactor media a month) and there is no place around here to fill. The 35lb bottle was the answer to that problem.

I do have a ph controller hooked to the solenoid and I dripped kalk at night as well

I wonder if it might be the CO2 inside the bottle, if not the bottle? I've always wondered where the CO2 is coming from. If you buy CO2 from a fire extinguisher place, is it going to be the same CO2 that is used in say beverage making?

hey tony, the acro did have a green tint to it after the RTN was finished, i'm thinking theres not much i can do about this, i've dipped them a couple times in tropic marin thinking it could possibly be AEFW's, but nothing-

bv_reefer Start your own thread. Catherine has provided a great deal of information relating to her problem while you have provided none. This is called high jacking and it's not an acceptable forum practice. Just start your own thread and everyone can concentrate on your issue. This thread is for Catherine's issue

If anything it would probably be something in the silicone .

I would suspect any toxin from the Glass or Co2 bottle would also effect other corals and inverts.

Mind you. Where did the glass come from when you constructed the tank? I see why you may think it was the glass.
