I've been giving the current reef situation a lot of thought tonight as I'm preparing for my departure, and I believe I may have figured out where the excess bacteria is coming from. When I dose Prodibio's BioDigest and Bioptim, it requires two Pro vials to match my water volume (or so I thought). I'm using an alternate packaged vials now, which allows you to drip it in. Holding the two vials side by side, they don't match in volume. The front of the boxes has the same information ...
I'm not sure what is going on, but some of my corals have lost their color. I tend to not overreact and deal with issues as they arise systematically. I've noticed certain corals are just lackluster in color, to the point I'd like to add food coloring to get it right again.

This is a 234 cube custom built by Lemar. It is 30 x 60 x 30 open top. The sump is located in the basement in a new room we framed in and set up for a fully self contained fish room. It has its own sink, floor drain and dedicated power. In the cold storage behind we have fish storage to keep it ...
