Afternoon, Are there any tank builders here in MD? If so what are their names? Looking to have a few frag tanks built.

ok thanks. I am looking for something similar

Thanks for all the help. I’ll start major water changes tomorrow. I will also check for rust in power heads etc. in terms of fish no new additions and the corals that are dying showed no sighs of stress. Just withered away sadly. Updated my refractometer a few months ago and found out I was a little high then. I also calibrated it. I’m sitting at 1.26 salinity. I also have an electronic tester I use just to confirm. Based on you guys ideas I’m going to check my apex temp probes for accuracy.

Great idea

My current tank has been up for a few years (Upgraded from another 2 yr old tank I had). Everything has been growing great. It's a Mixed reef so I have pretty much every type of coral. But recently I have been loosing some of my acans, trumpet corals and I think one expensive mushroom unless that thing floated off somewhere else in the tank as I have seen before. Colors are the best they have ever been for everything else. Even some pieces that didn't have the greatest color in the past look great. Help me find the problem please. Recent changes: Switched from Radion light schedule to similar Apex Schedule Switched from ESV to Tropic Marin Parts A/B/C (Stopped C after 2 weeks in case that was the problem) Tank: 8' 350gal system running an Apex controller Sump: Basement with skimmer and Chaeto, carbon Lighting: Gen 4 Radions ran off Apex Schedule Flow: Medium to High Dosing: Tropic Marin A/B, Amino Running Carbon Run GFO occasionally Temp: 78 Ph: 7.88 Alk: 8.5 Calc: 430 Mag: 1350 Phos .07 (try to keep it under .05) Nitrate: 0 I think that is everything

Thanks

I’m looking to get a large sump built. Any local tank/sump builder in the DMV that you guys can send me to?

Where did you get the tank from

Very very nice setup.

Yes. SB reef lights are the best

Just tried that and still nothing

Two weeks in QT with a Naso and a few days in DT. Probably shouldn’t have put him in DT but it worked for me a few yrs ago on another fish

Thanks Tom. I hope so, he isn’t small and cost me a lot. I have had horrible luck with Hippo tangs. EVERYTHING else I’ve ever had has thrived but Hippos have not done well for me.

Jon no signs of anything. Besides not eating it acts just fine, nothing abnormal. Only other med is copper. But I will try the freshwater dip

Tried live black worms and nothing. But just got LRS and will try that

I’ve tried everything. Nori, romaine lettuce, pellets soaked in garlic, black worms, live misis shrimp, frozen misis and brine shrimp. Nothing it will not eat anything. Was in QT and did not eat. Looks great minus the sunk in stomach. No spots etc. Treated with prozipro prior to hitting DT. Water is perfect. Please help as I feel he will not last much longer.

Thanks guys. This was helpful and worked

I installed a reefsavy ghost overflow on my new 240 build. But the problem is how LOUD the water is flowing down the drain pipe down to the basement sump. I also installed a 1” tube in the hole in the main overflow pipe. Please help as this thing is LOUD. I have a valve on the drain line

Thanks everyone. I’m looking for a new o ring but if I can’t find one I may just call BRS also and see if they can send me a new valve

Thanks for the help Tom. I had no clue.

As I sit here and think I just realized I did put in about 40gal of saltwater that was left in the mixing bin when I started filling the system. Would this create that kind of reading. I’ve never tested the TDS of mixed water

Setting up my new 340 gallon system. Over the last week I’ve been making RO/DI water and it’s been coming out at zero. Once it hits one I change out the DI resin and it goes right back to zero. But for some reason I tested the water in the tank just for kicks (It’s 85% full now) and it’s reading 666. what the heck. The water coming out my home only reads 189. The water I’ve put in the sump so far from the RO holding tank that hasn’t gone up to the tank is reading 95. Last the water again is coming out the RO/DI at 0 and as of this morning the water in the Holding tank is at 1. I have not mixed in the salt at of yet. I’ve just taken a few heaters and pumps out my salt mixing bin and put them into the tank. Here is the sequence House: 189 —> Coming out RO/DI: 0 —> Holding tank: 0/1 —> Sump: 95 —> —>Tank: 666 This is a brand new setup on the second floor of my home with a basement sump and about 40ft of PVC plumbing. I do not understand how this has gone up so high. Please help. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO DRAIN THE TANK

Thanks for that tip

Thanks Tom. I think the silicone lubricant is the only thing that will work. As I have now tried everything else you mentioned. But in the end I think it’s the part as I have one on my smaller tank with the same problem. I just ignored it as it sat right over the sump.

Tried it and that did stop the leak at the threads before the leak at the o-ring.
