Please share with others if you have had a reef crash and what caused it and if there is a lesson we beginners can learn from it.
My crash: I added some coral to the sump and realized I did not have a good place to add alk. I was in a hurry and added it to the display, but did not drip it. I figured just a small splash into the heavy water flow and things should be fine. Everything got burned. Over the next week the tank slowly died.
Lesson: always use a drip for alk. Even a small splash is too much. Also, I will not put coral in my sump anymore.
