Dave,in refernce to your water parameters,what salt mix are you using? Maybe your mix is low in mag. Considering your changing 25% a week i would test the mix.What brand test kits do you use? Did you validate them by testing an accurate reference sample?

On my previous post I quoted your water change wrong. It should be 25gal. a week. Sorry.

Sorry folks, the tank is shut down, everything is sold, I'm just a bystander now. Any info that has been asked has been answered already in the thread.

$0. I put together a 225g & a 67g reef tank, all premium equipment, spent $25k all in, including livestock. Then I realized that I enjoyed the research, planning, buying & assembly more then the day to day maintenance. Luckily the money I used to do all of this came from breeding/selling/growing Discus over the years. So I made the decision that I was tired of the weekly cash outlay, tired of the excessive humidity & heat in my basement, tired of worrying about leaks/pumps seizing/algae/aiptasia and I sold it all. I recouped $12k of my money and now I just read the forums and enjoy the trials & tribulations (and successes) of the members here. Have fun! I am.
