So yesterday I talked to a guy at BRS about my dosing issues, ther have "not been any complaints about their chems." On his recommendation I topped the levels up & turned the dose rate down to 1.25 ml per gal, as he was certain that precipitation was occurring.
Last night @ 8:45 Pm I had 420 Ca & 9.5 Alk Tonight @ 8:45 360 Ca 6.7 alk So anyways that obviously didn't work.... the doser will stay running at current levels & the coral is all for sale. sunday is a good day as stated I don't have time for this right know.

Are you still shutting her down Sean? It would be a shame, I would love to be able to grow SPS like this I'm still not having much luck except for a few frag in the office tank.
Any LPS / softies in there? My eyes can't get passed all the drool worthy SPS

Hi Sean
Since coming to this forum this past summer, I've been inspired by other members tanks, but especially been fascinated following this thread. How your tank looks, the coral combinations and the growth patterns! Its truly a stunner! I am so sorry that things aren't going well for you right now. Hopefully after you resettle, you will get back to SW. I know I'm addicted to SW (corals are like crack!!), I could never think of leaving it for good..in part, knowing what you have done with your tank, its kinda your fault in part.If you decide to sell, I am certain you will find good homes for your incredible colonies! If pieces break off, let a newbie like me buy them off ya as frags. The forum has been a great resource! My SPS is growing like crazy. Hopefully at some point, I will be able to show off a great looking tank too!

Wow. I'm sorry to hear about your Mom.
And you shutting down your fantabulous tank. Sad to see, but I also can sympathize. I agree with Steve, hoping whomever buys the colonies can keep them going. And hopefully for you when the time comes for you to get back into the hobby.

Here are some new pics, just taken on the new iphone. Obviously I haven't shut it down. That being said I've certainly not done a whole lot either, I switched chems to eli's, raised the light & dropped the temp about a month & a half ago to 77, Ca is @ 400, Alk is @10, MG @ 1400. I sold a pink milli colony & a orange diji colony as well to see my clams again. I'm thinking I'll likely sell the big blue stag in the left centre of the FTS.
