Hey Robb, sorry to hear about all the livestock loss! Do you know what happened? Your tank looks very nice. Hopefully everything goes alright now. Your equipment list looks awesome.
Thanks for the kind words. The LPS I'm not sure. My initial thought was it was too clean, as compared to the 58 which LPS loved, as I added the fuge. That coupled with the GFO/GAC reduced P04 too much. At least that was my thinking. Taking the reactor off line didn't do anything. Some suggested too much light. I had the 38w TX5 on the 58. So, after taking the reactor off line not helping, I reduced the lighting schedule to just the 2 actinic bulbs. it did nothing too. The fish, I think, just got too stressed from poor water quality. Although it's possible they came down with some ailment. The clowns got a dusted in flour appearance, and my sailfin looked like he came down with ick. But I'm not 100%. Ever since I did my water change they seemed to have turned the corner, although the boy clown is still somewhat dusty mostly around the eyes.
