    Unhappy Lost almost everything!!!

    Unhappy Lost almost everything!!!
    Well I accidentally plugged in my Kalk Rx instead of the Tunze!!!!!!!!!
    came back home after 1hr to snow whit tank and empty Kalk.
    After 65g of water change I begun noticing the carnage. First I had to remove my passed Flame Wrasse' and started to see my SPS again well skeletons in most cases

    The real kicker is it does not matter what sweet accessories I have if i do not pull my head out of my a s s and follow the basics !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Truley sick to my stomach.
    will post more after I go to the store for some Coke to wash the Jack Daniel's down w/

    Thank you fellow Reefer Manoj AKA Firsttime for the emergency water hookup

    Been there and done this....This sucks more than anything that has ever sucked before.

    When you get the cleanup done and back on the road to recovery, we'll have to see if we can figure out a way to keep it from happening again. I found that a few extra lines of code in my controller program would have prevented it when it happened to me.

    Carbonated water will help you get your pH back down. (Use your calcium reactor if you have one to make some by hooking up an aerator to the line and bubbling it into a bucket with saltwater.)
