Well I get Married, that was the first problem. ( married joke)
So I bought a bubble mag doser and when I was away the pipe going to the sump to dose the alk clogged. ( ok I am polish what do you want from me LOL), so it filled with salt creep and did not dose alk for 4 days.
Well I go away for 10 days to the islands and when I come back 90% of the tank is dead. Between comming back to that da, storm and then with the power going on and off I had the return, a power head and vortech running on the apc. Well the dam skimmer kept on shutting on and off ( i know cut the power to everything but I was running on 4 hrs of sleep) the skimmer over flowed and it is so close to the rim of the sump that it spilled water all over the transformer for the vortech and blew the vortech. :worried2:
Well between this loosing coral, I said the hell with this and broke down the tank took rocks out and re did the whole dam thing all over.
I went leds ripped out the t5s.
THEN:
Well I should have known I was not done with this because I order for a site and out of 24 pices of frags shipped only 11 pices make it. :debi::debi:
Yeah I was ****ed but I sent the pictures to the place and they are giving me the money back for store credit. But common that many dead, and one of them was a sun coral. :sad1:
NOW:
Well from going from 150 cal 4 alk and 300 mag. I am now up to all the right levels, doser has been fixed and I am back in action.
So see even if I did have some one come over you will get salt creep no matter what even the cal reactors you have to check the alk build up and salt creep on the hoses.
The only good that comes out of this is now I have a reason to buy frags and pick what I want so that means, I can buy coral that I did not have before :thumbsup:.
First Noel now me. I have to say it sucks big time.
