Skimmer went Nuts

[Werdlone]

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.

do you run a gas water heater??

yes, but that is in my furnace room as well, no signs of problems there. Perhaps i'll shut it down just be sure it isn;t a venting problem on way to roof.

Could be, now is about the time of year animals will start nesting in the chimney to stay warm, and they usually build the nest before you need to turn on the furnace (furnace and water heater are vented separate in most newer homes, and some older ones with new water heaters), you may want to check the guard on top of the chimney to make sure nothing can get in.
