Schnitzel's Sticks

".....tank has been looking great lately."
I agree! Tank looks really good, very impressive colonies.
 
Unfortunately I had some RTN going on in my tank. 3 different colonies were affected. I sent some water in to Triton, and everything looks pretty normal. I did 3-40g water changes, and the RTN stopped. I wish I knew exactly what caused it, but in this hobby that seems impossible. This was the first time since I started this tank 4 years that I've had this happen.

Here's my triton results.

Schnitzel,
how frequent did you do each of those 3 water changes?
what % of water would each 40g WC represent?

I just want to have a felling of how you stopped the problem with out altering anything else.

Thanks
 
Amazing tank! Curious about your lighting, mainly how long are you running your T5's and how long do you have your Reef Brite's on each day? Also... I am getting ready to pull the trigger on some Reef Brite XHO's. What's your take on them, would you purchase them again and how much do you think they contribute to growth?

I run 2-8x54w ATI T5s with Reefbrite XHOs.
Calcium reactor.
Small refugium
ATB 1050a skimmer
That's about it. Don't dose much of anything anymore, I just do water changes.
