Sorry to hear this. Nice to know your on the road back to recovery. But what was the cause of this? Was this just neglect. To busy not maintaining the tank? Or just system crash. Reason I'm asking I just had a mini crash. Was able to rebound quickly but lost growth thinking it was my a Nitrates. Just wanted to know so we understand how this happen.

aggravation with the hobby and it's lingering issues - long story.

Sheer neglect and not paying attention to the details. Salinity went down to .01825 and fish actually died.

You are a crappy reefer :teeth:

JK buddy, glad to see you take an interest again. It's amazing what a little time does to bounce our reefs back to their former glory. If you get into the sticks I have some stuff for you.

There was no greater tank at the time this was booming. Im sure you will get back to its former glory. I remember the arm size colonies in this tank:bigeyes2:

Jim, I saw your tank several times in its glory days and purchased many corals from you. Probably too many corals. Not only are you an outstanding reefer, you are one of the best guys I have ever met while reefing. Glad you are back on the right track.

Yeah man - excited to be back.

Have my little nano with frags and for sure I'll be stopping by for some donations :)

Next step is to get the monster fish out that I've had for almost 8 years and in some cases 10 years so i can put some others in there.

So great to have Jim back! MR is a much better place with House in the house.:thrash:

Dosers are In

Ok, I got a nice package on Thursday with my BRS Drew Dosers, hoses, digital timers and some misc fittings. Since there is nothing that needs calcium in the tank at the moment, I'll be starting with 15ml per day Ca and dKh. Little less for Mg.

My goal is to increase the coraline algae all over the tank before adding new calcium dependent animals. Next few weeks I'll be watching very close and testing to see how its working out. Regular weekly 40g water changes with Instant Ocean has already shown some difference in the colors on the rock. I should see some significant changes in the coming weeks.
