Hello, just a quick intro:
I have had a reef tank for almost ten years, have managed to move house once with everything then had a seam go 15months ago in the night and had to downsize in a mad panic to a nano to save what i could
o ‘twas a fun day that or few days should I say with the removal of sea smell, old floor and then putting in a new floor whilst sorting the tank out and obviously not working.
Things went well in the nano and I started to keep sps or should I say the harder to keep sps like acros not just your months and such, I then got complacent and went from weekly parameter checks to monthly.
All was well and good for a few months until my doser line for some reason crystallised and clogged(which I did not realise) and I slowly over 2 weeks watched the majority of my tank die as my alk crashed among other things, I didn’t test as I had/still have a rainbow chalice which seemed unaffected the whole time sadly it most definitely wasn’t/isn’t my canary in my tank but happily lived lol, I even had 7 year old candy cane colonies polyp bail out on me, it was a nightmare!
This was a few months ago and I have been through some uglies since but things are starting to grow again now which leads me to here, so long time lurker finally joined
