Zoas

Ok if zoas just start melting could it cause a tank to crash.

I guess it could but if your zoas are melting in large numbers I would suspect something else is going wrong. Start with basic parameters like ammonia/nitrite/nitrate, salinity, temperature. Large amounts of decaying matter can cause ammonia spikes. What is your water change schedule like? Are you using RO/RODI for mix/top off water?

 

[reefwatcher]

Rodi no top off water changes every two weeks.1.024 77 temp ammonia nitrate and nitrite 0 alk 9.3 Ph 8.3 60 gal cube sump skimmer. I ordered them when I got them I put them in and they look like the heads are going to explode

no top off? as in u let water evaporate then do a water change? your salinity might be all out of wack if thats what u did

Yes anything dying can cause a reaction and crash your tank. It doesn't happen often but it happens.

 

[rock_lobster]

Yes your tank most certainly will crash if you have a massive zoanthid die off.

No I top off with RoDi water I was think of ATO is what I was thinking sorry.
