It was a cascade of little issues that led to this. 2 months ago I re aquascaped for better flow. I soon started using Omega/Amino in the foods and target feeding and had started washing my filter socks. Two weeks in with the target feeding there started to be some signs of stress with some of the sps. A little more reading showed that it was probably the amino/omega in the food. I had started doing small daily water changes (1-2g) daily. And then I had a very busy week at work so I hadn't cleaned my skimmer in a week. I run it alittle more on the dry side, I get so much "mud like" skimmate. Well, all of it went back into the water, the skimmer looked like I had just cleaned it. Drained the sump completely and wiped clean. It seems that the sponge before my return is the culprit for causing my ATO to constantly freak, it did it again last night after I had cleaned it on sunday. It has been removed and burned as a sacrifice. (removed but not burned really) I've set up a 20g to move the remaining corals in to, small skimmer and a hang on filter. I have a small PC 50/50 bulb in a clip light, not sure if that will be enough light for everything. This weekend on the DT I'll remove 90% of the sand and replace, and rebuild the DT. 30lbs of oolite and 20lbs argo, both dry. Not sure what else to do...
