Again. What now.

[KennyKen]

Im pretty close to positive i dont have any bad crabs. And ive never seen a bristle worm at all. And i stay up late alot and creep on the tank.


Temp has been running at 78....
but funny thing you say that because i had to turn my heater down a month or so ago cause it was running hot.
Its currently set at 73, with the tank at 78 through out the day....

what test kit are you using? could it be possible that your test kit is giving you false reading.

how are you maintaining your ALK/CAL/MAG?

with your heater set at 73 how low is your tank getting at night And what are you using for lights??

I would start by verifying the basics with another source of measurement. The basics including temp, sg, and anything you dose often. Check temp in the morning and at night.

250 mh
daytime is running at 78
at 137 am my tank is sitting at 77

I have a controller, and i have 2 diffrent thermometers, one is a probe for the controller, and one external, a degree in diffrence between them.

I have all new MG, CA and kH kits.....

And im using Kent Mg and the Ionic 2 part for dosing Calcium.........

You can run some carbon and do a hefty water change once things settle feed all your corals . Are you running a sump and skimmer??

[KennyKen]

Yes sir, sump with a skimmer.
And like i said, i took my reactor out and will be putting pellets in this week, i mean my phosphates are zero, but i had to change the media anyways so i thought i would give it a shot.
Carbon was just changed last week as well....

Yup, water change this week too.

Other than that, im running out of idears.

sometimes these things happen and an answer isnt to be found i mean you can probe all day but the best thing to do is do your best to stabilize things like youve done and keep an eye on things, when a tank sees too many changes it sometimes causes a hiccup and just needs to even its self out again, why your corals died could be something that happened and was back to normal when you tested ....who knows , good luck with it though and just keep on it
