so sorry to hear

silver linings but again sorry to hear and you never found out why ?

 

[smartchoice]

don't know why, i don't believe it was the 5# i took out, one thing i did do is change all my filters from my filtration system.

really you should test so that you know when to change the gfo , or you are just throwing your money away I mean gfo should last when p04 is under control a month and a half or so maybe longer when you see the p04 starting to go up that is when you change it, also you could be stripping vital nutrients from corals that need p04 and n03 to survive

what i notice if i don't change it my sps start to get brown tips, and when i do change it my zoas get bad, everything else is doing good chalice, acans are growning and looking great.
