Smelly tank

Every day of the week, every week of the month, and every single month the tank has been up (minus the initial cycle where is was a bit higher). It's an API test and I'm pretty sure it's defective.

I'd recommend you try a Seachem Ammo test kit. Plus with it you can do a reference test so there's no doubt.

Just left red coral, had Kevin test my water, 3x, each time read 0. We tested 3 times today, results am .25, noon .5, 6 pm, .25-.5. Using API test, new kit bought when I cycled tank. Used Salifert at rc and api test. As for smell, not as strong tonight. We've turned the sand looking for snails all day, no dead ones found.

No filter socks on tank, its def in the dt not sump. I don't know what's smelly, if its a snail, no clue where it is....

And Reefgirl, if I was preggers someone would get sued! Had that dealt with a few years ago, I'm so done with babies, my girls are 19 and 14, plus stepkids, started young.

Hmm, that's interesting
If you do decide to buy the Seachem kit, the reference is 1.0
It helped me learn to read the colors more accurately

I'm stumped. Bought a salifert test, will retest in a bit.
