yup....
my bro text me talking smack today... LOL... he said "how the hll does this happen to you. you have the most post count, you're a known reefer, you give advice on how not to crash your tank, you're in reef clubs, and it's not like it caught you off guard."
he's so right... i am very embarrassed.... but whatever... i didn't know i had at much planeria... why..? because i couldn't see them under the LED's... when i had t5's and metal halides i could see them on the rocks... but they were very camouflaged on there... when i treated, i had so many worms... i was so surprised...
well what's done is done... my chalice all have ammonia burns, lost all SPS, lost two fish, and one awesome anemone... even the gigantic bristle worms i had living in the center rock died... so crazy....
my skimmer has been wet skimming and it's picking up a lot of red water... same color as the planeria... figure it's the toxic goop... i have a whole pound of carbon in the sump, i'm using cycle and nopox to get my levels down... tomorrow, another waterchange.... my phosphate is down to 1.0, but my nitrate is still up there towards 40 or so... it was at a 100+... i don't have an ammonia test... i bet it was up there too....
