I'm leaning toward my carbon. I think I got a bad batch after putting it in the next day the crash happened and after 30%water change my copper level was about.5ppm

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that you had to deal with that crash so early into the new tank. It must have been beyond frustrating. I'm glad it hasn't dampened your spirits though and btw your tank is looking very nice! Good work!

thanks reefgirl. it was so frustrating, I was like "why do I even bother.." but it seems to be getting back in order now so hopefully things go a little better now.

Thanks Greg all seems to be slowly going back to normal, lost some SPS, and maybe LPS but other then that everything is getting better

So today is the first time since my "mini" crash that my montipora is showing signs of true life, looks like the whole frag is back, nice and blue-green like before very happy about this. Also my birdsnest I got on the weekend now has polyps fully extended thanks to you guys who suggested turning down the lights a bit. Also finally capped my durso, just have to get a valve to control the water level in tank now. All is well

I love it when I get to report good news, so as Brad says I can "relax"
I have officially kept alive 2 sps frags for 2 weeks, the polyps on them as well as my new sps are fully extended and look very happy.
Here is my success story.

I turned down my light from 65% to:
RB 35%
B 35%
W 30%

I am dosing vitamin c, reef roids, and a 1/8 of a tsp of calcium, magnesium and strontium, every 3-4 days to help get up my CA and Mag, as my CA way 340, and mag was at 1210...
I have over 2 weeks slowly adjusted my mag and calcium up to an almost ideal level of, CA 420, and mag, 1320(is this ok?)

My once bleached monti I received from Denny, is nice and colorful again, and I have some great growth on a few zoa colonies in just the last 2 weeks since the crash. I have 3 new orange explosions, 1 purple hornet, and 2 water melons that have sprung up. Happy to report, that also feeding the tank live pods into the fuge, has brought my pod population back up to speed, so my scooter doesnt have to hunt so hard anymore

all and all a good report me thinks

Thanks to you guys who made these suggestions as I feel my tank is now, getting back on track! Just have to get an ATO still and I will be golden
