To breakdown or not to break down..

That has been the question of the day.. idk how my tank went from

This

To

This

In a matter of weeks! My sps are suffering BAD I will need to get rid.of.them.

It seems like I had a mixture of dynos (from lowering.p04 too fast by removing my crushed coral) cyano (removing nitrates too quickly) and diatoms (tank.cycle after removing crushed coral) I just did 24hrs of no light and everything is still ingested with diatoms cyano and dynos..

Only.corals affected by all this seems to be my sps

Should I have an LE Brown sps blow out.sale?? Hmm..

Raise No3 > 5 if it isn't already, and chemiclean that biish... Three days and you'll be back sub-normal.

Dang luis. This tank has been some trouble for you. Sorry to see it

 

[Lexusman25]

I have heard great things about chemiclean and that should somewhat help clean the tank.

 

[toromp]

By far the most troublesome reef I have had! ..I think I'm just gonna let the sps go to a better home. They look super nice when they are colored up

Did you dose anything in your tank?

 

[johnwin84]

That sucks...try to see is someone could hold the corals for you. If not I may be interested in a few pieces

 

[toromp]

I'm gonna start over. Screw it! Stand by for cheap sps colonies!

Seriously - Chemiclean tomorrow, then in two days decide if you want to jump ship. That's a lot of hard work to abandon...

And my buddy evoreefer jad the same problem and used chemiclean and by two days it got cleaned up

 

[lowbudget]

I never use chemical to battle my cyano but I swear it works

 

[Six2seven]

sorry to hear. ive had good experiences with chemiclean too.

Oh, I see how this goes attention whore. Weinerless boy and I post that we have aefw and you post the best pics of reef AIDS I've ever seen. Way to steal the lime light.

I've been through the exact same scenario in my 90 gallon 3 years ago. Red Slime remover. I told you I have some enough to nuke your tank 5 times.

If you're actually gonna move, then ya, sell em. But if you're gonna stay put dont sell to get out again. I specifically remember going into detail why a lot of reef keepers let their tanks mature before they drop in coral.

It wouldn't have mattered if you had nitrate and phosphate if you just kept softies, zoas and palys (beginner coral). They aren't all that mad if the water is a lil dirty.

Anyway I'd rather take your challenge than mine. Yours can be fixed in tank. Mine is a serious overhaul that doesn't even gaurantee a positive outcome.

If you're thinking of quiting because of the man made problems......this hobby well always be your pink elephant. Good luck Luisin whatever you do.

Curious enough before I knew I had aefw I told Sanh I was out this year. Since I kill fish that means I'm gonna be looking into a nice non photosynthetic, sea horse tank. jk I'm gonna nuke these worm smuggling corals even if I melt em. Poor tank.

I've used it twice and it's miraculous.

Between the reef aids and the velvet that killed my fish, its time to take down this bad boy for a month and restart/upgrade sump ect.. and more than likely were moving, so I'm sure the sps would not have made it
