Really sorry to read about your fishues Wayne......I dont think technically speaking you are having a crash, its more of an event.......I dont know what is worse......slowly losing stuff over a period of days or weeks, not being able to figure out whats going on.......or losing everything all at once, like Steve and myself......

how bout this one........

from this




to this.....in about 36 hours (thats a large coleman extreme cooler, about 5" deep)

Yeah thats the thing with not knowing! I think it might be the dead mexican snails (found one shell) or maybe the dead clam, or maybe the brass fitting, or the RO water, or maybe its something on my skin...

So many things that can go wrong on such a sensitive system... Sorry for your loss, certainly makes me realise that I am somewhat lucky. At least some softies and my fish will survive, plus my other tanks arn't plumbed into this one so they are still good.

Thats makes it a little bit better, at least its not a total write off then. Always try to put a positive spin on things.

Honestly though if this tank crashes completly I will be taking some off, till I move into a house in a year or so.

Holy boys, your making me sad with all the death. On a positive note My 250w black stealth heater was on its way out the other day and came home to a tank temp of 90degrees!!!!

I grabbed the heater and just about burned my hands. I now have a Ti one and it works great and holds the temp more accuratly.

Made me go ahead and clean all my power heads as well cause I was afraid of any possibility of a tank nuke. I cant wait to find a chiller...

Sorry about your loss, I hope that we find out what it is so we can learn from it.

What salt are you using?
RO water, filtered or purchased?

I have been using Instant Ocean since I started the tank I have been slowly switching to Instant Ocean Reef Crystals since January. I was using RO/DI for a few months now with my own RO system which is a newer system with new filters.

There is electricity in my tank. I am getting 42V in the system total. I found 20V just in one pump, so its out of the tank now. The other voltage is from ATO, Return Pump, power heads... about 2V per.

How much is too much?
