SO my tank is NOT loking good as of late and I would very much appreciate some assistance.
Long story short, I started a new job a few weeks ago that has taken up a lot of time and has been a lot of stress. Its been difficult to even face my tank.
Heres what is going on:
-Some SPS are losing tissue at the tips or random spots. Other SPS are looking better then they ever have.
possible problems: (I have a FEW problems going on)
-RODI has been malfunctioning and I havent been able to figure the cause. I have a TyphoonIII and trying and am currently trying to get help from Air Water and Ice on it. Problem is that if the membrane section is hooked up, no water comes out of the output. I currently have to bypass this section, but my water is outputting at 23 TDS.
-My skimmer is not keeping up or just s*cks in general, so my nitrates have gone up and is probably around 20 right now.
-A week a go, I noticed my calc (500+) and mag 1400+ was really high, so I did a water change
Current parameters:
Salinity - 1.027 (lil high)
Calcium - 500 (lil high and was waiting for it to go down)
Alk - 9.8
Mag - 1300
These numbers are still a lil high,but im afraid to do another water change because my TDS is 23.
Can anyone tell me what they think out of all my current problems is causing the SPS decline in some of my colonies?
Thanks in advance!
