Fritz Salt Issues?

[lakai]

I put all 3 of those on a dolly. I figured how hard can it be to pull them upstairs backwards? Really bad idea! I’m not as young as I once was. Got about half way and realized I messed up.

I never even used reef crystals but I bought 3 from that amazon deal too.

20+ what?

dead acros

How long have you been working for brightwell.

He changes jobs more often than most people change clothes

Sorry if I missed your subtle sarcasm here.

Notice how your comment got no likes. Very funny.

 

[AnemoneBay]

People change salt all the time without it killing off their entire tank...or any corals for that matter.

Yes I know that. Some salts have different chemistries. And some corals will react when those parameters chance slightly.

 

[TheHarold]

Is there a way to tell which one your getting? Aside from opening the boxes and looking?

Yes, when you order it, there is a 4 bag version. I get it from SaltwaterAquarium. Few bucks more, but rather convenient.

 

[AnemoneBay]

Now people have shifted from you cant grow acros with fritz, to cant grow montipora with fritz, to cant grow BTAs with fritz?!?

Perhaps you should take a look at your water change methodology. Are you not matching temperature or something?

So time to post photos of a "dying" BTA, I guess .

People on these forums can be clowns and just comment it since they hate the salt. I’ve grown so many deepwater acros with fritz and a bunch of BKChem pieces. It’s really just their poor light lol.

Most people account for this and dose the water accordingly to keep things stable as many have reported in this report here.

This is not a situation of core params changing.

They would have seen impacts from poor lighting before the salt change...

I can’t.... both factors can combine you know...

Not to the degree that it wipes a tank. There would have been indications that lights were an issue before the salt change.

Arbitrarily assigning blame to the lights is more of a stretch than a bad batch of salt when the ICP tests, numerous user reports, and consistency of all other variables lead to something else.

I get you like the salt, it’s fantastic you’ve had success with it.

It doesn’t mean these people haven’t received a bad batch. You should be open to understanding this.

Correct. My corals were doing and looking amazing. Then over the course of a couple weeks they went downhill. Lighting is definitely not a factor (in my case anyway)

If the issue was phosphate levels or lighting I could see it bothering a few corals, but not mass death and across different types in such a quick fashion. This is just my opinion, but when my nutrient levels drop I see signs like pale corals, clean glass, ect

Leave your NO3/PO4 at zero for a bit with 100 par.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHA. Good one. just before I left to work for AL

Is 22000 chlorine bad?

 

[TheHarold]

Is 22000 chlorine bad?

Given my RODI is zero, I’d assume yes. Don’t know what my display/salt water is though

 

[Reefahholic]

I just sent a @Randy Holmes-Farley for Cl toxic levels.

The PO4 was zero.
