Fish tank woes.

I finally fixed my skimmer yesterday or the day before I can't remember. The point is it's been at least a month since it's been on. My nutrients have stayed neutral not going up or down while it's been off. Since I turned it back on they have now bottomed out. A big fat 0 no3 and po4. I'm using low range kits for both. My coral was looking rough when I got home today and that's what got me to test. No deaths except a couple frags I cut Monday and wwc Moonshine over half rtned. To top it all off a float switch in my ato quit working.

Damn man! That sucks!

I’ve never seen a skimmer capable of dropping levels like that. You saw my old monster skimmer? It didn’t drop N or P even though it kicked butt. I’d suspect something is off with testing or some other variable.

No3 is normally around 0.25 and po4 around 8ppb. It doesn't take much sometimes.
