Post to vent about reef

[Musovski]

I’m creating this to get some stuff off my chest about my reef

This tank has been kicking my rear end lately. I’m beyond annoyed with it. Not the animals in it but the fact that my equipment is breaking.

About two weeks ago my tank looked decent.

I been trying to revive some corals. Things were going great up until my dang dosing pump decided, nope we will malfunction.

The words I want to post aren’t family friendly. And my reaction ain’t either.

I have lost most of my corals, all SPS, some LPS.

Once I get home I will post a now picture. The tank looks so empty. Fish are ok except for one green chromis which developed lympho.

So sorry to hear It's instances like this that make me nervous to do dosing pumps. I'd really like to get a DOS to go with my new APEX, but then see these and get all nervous
Just a temporary setback, don't let this defer you from reefing. Take it as a learning experience

I too am sorry to read of this happening to you, your system, equipment, and critters.

That is terrible news was this over a span of a day? Or was is over a week?

I routinely spot check equipment daily, and clean them quarterly.

It happens to everyone

Oh wow! So sorry for the set back! I think you can't be in this hobby for any length of time and not have set backs! Hang in there! [emoji4]
