Latest on dosing Vitamin C....

Any Salinity fluctuations? Salt changes? Alkalinity fluctuations? Alk level issues within the listed time frame? How about lights? Type and age of bulb? Flow rate and flow type in tanks? Also if you are doing MB7, many people have noticed a issue with keeping many types of zoas when carbon dosing. Could be you started with one issue, and the MB7 is simply building on that.

Renegade-

Sorry for the late reply's here guys. Work has been CRAZY so I do not have much as time as I would like to have.

All check out fine. My lights are a good point as I do have HQI bulbs that are around 14 months old. However I usually run them for 18 months as I average only 5 hours a day in my photo cycle. I run Ushio bulbs so they are of good quallity.....Hummm now you have me thinking about it :-)

Flow is via 1 Tunze (6065?) and Iwaki return with an output of 1500 GPH.

I do not dose MB7 but do dose a Special Blend Bacteria. I am thinking that the combo of S. Blend and the addition of the new Bio-Pellet system might be bacteria overload? I am going to stop the dosing of S. Blend.

Your thoughts?

Thanks for all of the input!

if it was my tank i would be pointing at the light bulb as halides go through a heavy light shift as they age.
