Default well....

Keri - thanks for asking how my tank is doing. I did a 20 gallon water change last night. Ordered two phosban reactors - one for gfo, and one for carbon.
When they arrive, I am going to install them and run them for a bit and see if there is an improvement. Figured on running them for about a week, then doing another 20 gallon water change - and then lights out for 4 days, followed by another 20 gallon water change. (I have a 90 gallon tank)

My alk and cal levels were low as well - so have been dosing to get them up to where they should be. I also ordered kalk and once I get the alk and cal levels up, I will be using kalk with a top off system - so hopefully, with more stability in the tank and with the reactors, I will be able to get the tank back on track.

The other thing I have been thinking about is switching my t5 bulbs. They are about 8 months old - so perhaps a change in spectrum added to the issue - I am not sure though.

I lost most of my cerith snails. I will get more once this is more under control - there is no point in adding snails to a toxic tank. Fish are in good shape, and most corals look ok, but I think they must be under a bit of stress - they are not quite as colourful as before - a bit faded, but still inflated and big. I have mostly lps, a few zoos and ricordeas and one yellow leather.
