This Is tricky but Im sure its R/O related because everything was going great until I added the water. Purple, for that matter I will have no choice but to assume the latter. @ Memeber1...I totally respect what you saying but ppl break rules all the time and are successful. I need to hear from...

So why would Toping off with R/O create an ammonia spike? If this is the case, then my ammonia was 0 because it tested at very low at .03. I did use turbo start when I got my order from Algae Barn to get my refugium going.

HELP! My 60GAL Salt water has been up and running for over 2 months. It cycled and all my fish where happy. I added 1/2 Gal R/O water to my tank to top off because of evaporation and every thing died except 4 damsels and 2 clowns. Took my tank water and R/O water to my LFS and everything...

Hey everybody thanks for your help! So I see the way to go is to add a little bit of water every (other) day. I will figure how much. I may consider hooking up my ATO eventually. Thanks!

So maybe I will ADD 4-8 OUNCES daily? Sounds about right?

Sounds like a good idea. So you think Im adding too much water and changing the water parameters? I have a 60 gal tank, how much water do you think I should add weekly? Should I treat the water when I add it??

Hey Outssider, Thanks for your advice. I have an ATO but it didn't work well with me. I prefer to just add it by hand after Ive collected from RODI unit. Thanks tho.

Hey guys! Big Problem, over time Ive lost fish and coral and I attribute it to toping off water to my 60 gal salt water tank. I have an RODI unit and there are 0 TDS when I add water. Usually, I add water when my sump gets low and my pump starts making bubbles. Can somebody please tell me what I...

Hey guys Im in Brooklyn and I use to come out to a reef store on Sunrise HWY called Total Aquarium in Lynbrook. Either they closed down or moved. Do you guys know a good Aquarium Store on the island not to far from Brooklyn whre I can buy coral, live rock and fish?...they had the best suff!!

I considered DF&S at one point. I am considering also tidal gardens. The proprietor seems to have a real good business going. I will shop around-shipping cost is one of my major concerns. Thanks for ur input.

Thanks PBJ appreciate that. BTW Do you order your corals online or go to a LFS??

Thank you again for all of your advice from those who truly understood what my real dilemma was. So I ordered some fans last night after muggin a few ppl because thats what we's do in the NYC LOL. Also put some frozen bottles in my sump and took the glass canopy off my tank and WHALA!! Temp...

Thanks for ur advice guys! Im going to invest in an A/C and cooling fans. @ crsswift70....What kind of pump do you recommend??

Thanks for the info guys and again P. boat Jim. I will invest in an A/C first and some cooling fans and take the glass canopy of my tank. Hopefully this will bring my temps down.
