Skimmer went Nuts

[speedstar]

and 2 corals rtn'd overnight. what joy i have to look forward too.

death count, rommels incredible hulk, purple chesterfield with orange polyps, myagi tort, purple monster and tricolor milli. why can't the cheap stuff ever die first.

Still at a loss as to what caused the problems. If it was something that was added to tank sucked in from my outside fresh air skimmer feed, or if it was all the skimmate added back to the tank.

Bout to just join the Mud Club

sorry to hear about the coral losses. I wonder what got into your water from the start to make the skimmer go nuts??? I would put some extra MB7 in to help clean the water. how much vodka are you dosing and what is your water volume???

[speedstar]

65g pf water, .43ml (point) twice a day. Not a hole lot only started a couple weeks ago taking it slow.


i wish I knew also, i am suspect of my skimmer air line that goes outside to get fresh air to aide a higher PH.
Still have a half dozen corals that are usually polyp'd out that are not. Hope they live.

May want to look at bringing the airline in the house, just in case. Never know what some punk kids looking for fun could slip in there if they knew where the hose went.

id to remove that factor, i might be going crazy but my family room where tank is seems to smell like exhaust fumes. Can;t locate the source and the GF doesn;t smell it. Just froze out the house turned on attic fan pulled in all new air and the smell is back. The furnace hadn;t yet turned on as i turned it off to rule it out.
