My kalk stirrer was set up thru my auto top off. I had just changed the kalk powder a week ago so it was strong water that was put in the tank. I believe the float switch came off the side glass so it just kept pumping. Sean

Well I dont know how it happened this time but I walked downstairs last night around 2 am to get a drink and my 75 g tank was cloudy with kalk. I've been through this before but I guess it was to much this time. Everything is dying. Some corals have already bleached while some are in the process. My 2 clown fish seem ok but the rest of the fish havent been coming out of the rock unless they are dead in there. We are looking at buying a house in the next month or two so i was going to have to break everything down. We had planned on buying a larger tank once we are settled but at this point i dont know. The tank stinks to high heaven, there is slim on all the corals and from reading posts I just can sit here and wait. This has been the hardest hobby I have ever been in... I'll be selling everything once the tank settles down. I'm done. Sean

Ouch... thats a 2 1/2 hour drive for me. Sean

I love my Litermeter III. Can do other things as well. Little pricy but worth every penny. Could try and find a used one as well. http://www.spectrapure.com/St_prec_p0.htm Sean

I'm in Woodbridge. Sean

I would like to send condolences from my family to your. Sean

My 2 cents I bought my upgraded Ushio and fluorescent bulbs from BRK a while ago. When I got home, I noticed one of the flourescent bulbs were broke. He replaced it... no fuss. Prices are competitive and the customer service it top notch. The quality of the bulbs he recommended have unbelieveable color spectrums. Sean

Good morning, This morning the water has cleared up considerably. There is a thin layer of kalk pretty much everywhere in the tank. I still have my kalk stirrer/top off system off for the moment. Nothing seemed to be showing any ill effects as of this morning. Even my sun coral was in full bloom. Thank you everyone for helping out. I kinda felt like I would have paniced if I did not have such good support knowing I would get sound advice. Sean

I just checked the PH and it was off the chart (8.8). After doing alot of reading, a bunch of ppl said not to go crazy with water changes, I also turned the lights off. If I had to guess I would say that about 1-1.5 gallons was pumped in the tank. I turned off my pump controller and was going to just manually top off the sump using regular RO/DI water. I can not see in the tank at all so I cant tell what the fish are doing. Sean

Good evening everyone, So yesterday I changed the kalk powder in my GSA kalk stirrer. I turned the pump off so it didnt pump the cloudy water into the tank. Well I forgot to turn it on this morning so when I saw how low the water in the sump (25 gallon) was I remembered to turn it back on. Well... it must have disturbed the bottom turning the pump on. My display (75 gallon) tank is so cloudy with kalk you cant see in it at all. I just did a 5 gallon water change. Currently I'm making more Ro/DI water and plan to do a 10 gallon water change tomorrow night. I have some Chemi-pure elite. Should I use it? Are all my coral and fish gonna die???? Sean

I posted on there. Thats some BS! Cheers, Sean

Good morning, In the future can we order/make larger sizes? Cheers, Sean

I have only 2 members that have sent me PM's wanting some grape caulerpa. I have tons of it. If you want some for free please send me a PM and I will bring it to the frag fest. Cheers, Sean

Good luck Scott. Hope you heal up fast after your surgery. Sean

Planning to attend w/ no guests. YBenormal - Check your PM box. Cheers, Sean

If anyone is interested in grape caulerpa I can harvest some before the meeting. Please send me a PM if you would like some. Cheers, Sean

Scott, I had not checked the boards that night. In the future if you need anything like that call me. Good luck with your surgery. Cheers, Sean

If I had to do it all over again ( hopefully I do soon) I would not of purchased my Sebae for my 75 gallon. When i first got him he was bleach white and about the size of a softball. Today he is healthy with light green tentacles with purple tips. When he is fully extended he is much bigger than a basketball. To big for my 75 gallon, I think. I do like the fact that he stays put. He only moves 3-4 inches left or right depending on how close I put back the Tunze after cleaning it. Cheers, Sean

Very nice. Great pictures! Cheers, Sean

Very sorry about your losses :( Sean

I am just getting over a ich break out. I used a combination of Kick Ich, UV, lots and lots of garlic and selcom, water changes, turning my skimmer off while treating and prayers! Good luck ! Cheers, Sean

Hello, I have a hard rubber trash can as my reservoir. My Litermeter 3 pumps about a gallon and a half of water thru my GSA kalk stirrer. Works great! Cheers, Sean

Mark came over my place today to give me some advice about my electric setup. He couldnt be a more cool, down to earth person. Of course we talked each others ears off about various fish tales and spent 10 minutes about the electric stuff. Thanks again Mark for coming over. Cheers, Sean

Hello, I sent you a PM. I have a friend that works for a company that prevents this sorta thing from happening. Cheers, Sean

I also have a 75 gallon (with 29 gallon refugium) that reaches 80.8 to mid 81 during the day with 2 150 MH on. I have a fan blowing over the top of the water in the display tank but it doesnt do much. Should I get a chiller jsut to make the water more stable? Sorry i dont mean to hijack your thread. Cheers, Sean
