My 90 gallon tank journey

[GoVols]

Once you get it cleared, keep an eye on the tangs . . .

Oh boy...

The carbon def got tumbled and got ground down to dust. Filter socks, water changes and skimming will be the only way to get that out. And like already stated keep an eye on your fish, your tangs are going to show some hlle from this

I forget the mecanisim that triggers it. I had thought it was long term exposure rather than overdose , but I honestly don't recall.

Please don't tell the tang police, I'm just not that into them.

It's long term from my experience, but being this is a rather bad situation I'd be willing to bet some might show signs of it. Esp since Justin is about to head off for vacation

@hybridazn and @Maritimer

Are spot on. There's got to be a massive amount of tiny carbon fines floating in the water column.

Thanks everyone

I would love to keep an eye on it but I'm leaving tomorow and well thats that

I do have one person watching my tank for me everyday and I got in touch with a person I call a "fish god" and they said if it hits the fan then they will be there if needed.

So it is def not as cloudy as before everything looks to be ok it could be my imagination but one of my corals bases looks a lil white but the polops are out so hopefully it is just my imagination.

The carbon is rox.8 from brs

This is what my skimmer has bum pulling out

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Cool, that should pull it out.

Hope you have a good trip and your tangs will be in our thoughts.

All two of them

U think the foxface would be ok?

Anthias seem a lil skittish tonight
And the clown well he's just clowning around

I'll let @hybridazn give you his thoughts.

Mostly I've seen surgeonfish be affected by carbon dust, but that's not to say other fish can't be affected.

I'm sure you've done this already but if you can do a couple large water changes that would help out tremendously before you leave.

It will end up being four 10 gallon changes

So much for never Doug a water change again.

I'm glad I bought a 100 gpd rodi unit tho. Said thing is after running it all night my tdi is now at 1 so that will have to be taken care of when I get back

Next year I'm going to lie when I'm around my tank and say I'm going on vacation in may or something so it doesn't know when I'm really going on vacation.

I had to go back and see what u were talking about

Man I am one funny guy

 

[justingraham]

So I was wondering when this was all happening today everything was normal on apex

Does carbon not effect orp or ph?

 

[GoVols]

Justin,
You have a great setup and thanks for sharing.

Gotta love you and your family's wood working skills. Your floating MH canopy is off the hook and (lol) may have to steal your design down the road.

Love the video's and your rotating 90 degree flow pumps are great.

Hope your having a great vacation and we'll catch up when you get home.

Freddie

 

[justingraham]

Someone has a crush on me

And that's fine u can steal my canopy design when u do tho I have some things I would do differently so hit me up and we will get u the best canopy possible

Side note this morning the tank was clear again hopeing I was lucky and got everything out in time

Even the hood rat cat got a laugh there!
Glad things were looking up this morning!

Quick video before we leave

Wow, I'm glad it's clearing up Justin! I think as long as you can't see any black or grey in a sock it should be fine now. And hopefully the fish will be also. Fish ingesting carbon dust is equivalent to a human breathing in soot and smoke from a fire... bad news, but you acted fast and that could make all the difference Good luck and enjoy your vacation!
