Finally! New place...new tank!

[Mellow]

U add blue after remove purple right?

The monti I removed was reddish orange actually. But I'm now also looking for a purple monti cap though.

[sherman]

Oop. I see. Look purple. Thk u for the info

[Mellow]

Corals are really amazing. Within a few hours of placing the new acro near a green trumpet, only the trumpet polyp nearest to the across extended its tentacles for a fight

[tofubox]

Super love this tank, still remember first time i saw it, breathtaking! Gd job mellow!

[Mellow]

Tank almost headed for a crash. Thankfully discovered it early but not sure what damage might have already set in.

Did my usual fortnightly water test and saw my dKH at 4.9. Thought I may have made an error and did a second test and again, below 5.

Panic kicked in and immediately visually checked the C Balance container container level and the B part did not move for a week. Which means no carbonate added for a week. And the trouble shoot begins....

[Mellow]

I think my dosing channel might be checked. But did a manual dose and it works though. Don't know what happened honestly.

This episode reinforced the importance of regular testing for me. Calcium and magnesium was normal though and only dKH was the anomally. Sigh....

[Edmund Koh]

Bro Jiayous!

And pray that everything will be ok.

[Mellow]

Not sure if it's a psychological thing now. Noticed my bird of paradise turning white right at the bottom.

Not sure if it's because of lack of light or the low dKH.. mind games.

[Mellow]

Everything else seems normal though. Can only cross fingers for next few days. Current dKH bumped up to 8.2 after a few hours or painful drips.

[Edmund Koh]

U mean the inner branches?

It does look pretty white to me. My guess would be the lack of light penetration ba. It is pretty deep in afterall and looks like it's been white for sometime.

I hope so bro. Only time will tell. For now, just happy that this was found earlier than later. Thanks for encouragement man!

[Edmund Koh]

Yups I agree. Better too find out than not to at all.

Keep us updated

Bro Sounds Like My Case Calcium reactir..Tubing block..Alk drop Afew Sensitive Colonies STN..but Nothing Serious..have faith in your tank..and it will pull thru..

But May i Ask Why You Bumped Your Alk So Fast? From 4 something to 8+ in Afew hours?

Should have done a Water change or Raise it slow as your SPS weren't showing signs of stress due to low Alk..

Yea. Quite a learning experience. I decided to bump it up fast mainly because of 2 reason primarily :

1) As pointed out, since no major stress signs shown by corals, might as well quickly bump up instead of prolonging their discomfort. Did a partial water change prior to that too.

2) kiasu/kiasee syndrome got the better of me. Haha.

[sherman]

Wow u pump up the Alk so fast. I scare the SPS will have problem. Let hope nothing happen

i see bro haha it's a learning process but I think should not increase so fast in day

Mellow, was the dosing tube clogged which got unclogged when you intervened?

Are your tubes submerged under water? I read that the ends of dosing tubes tend to encrust when it contacts seawater.

I think it unclogged itself after that. Still can't be sure. The ends of the tube are not submerged in water thiugh.

Everything seems good this morning still thankfully. Thanks for the concern bros.

[ReDDeviLs]

birdnest bottom turns white pretty common bro, if there still polyp. dont worry!
