skimmer's foam

[farrel]

4 day ago i lost my regal angelfish & blue tang because kalkwasser over dosis, the problem is i can take them because under big live rock and next morning i got so a lot foam at my skimmer and the foam dont be liquid soon, why ? is it normal condition ?

i attach the skimmer picture

thx

[typrobin]

its pretty normal...now that the fishes are decomposing in your tank, the skimmer will have more DOC to skim...

think u better do a little water change soon..

kalk overdose?? how??

[farrel]

My control valve that control drip kalkwasser to sump has broke and i don't know it because its happen at the night, and the next morning my 10L kalkwasser has empty and that same morning my fishes has strange behavior (look unhealthy maybe bacuse pH blow).

i plan to change the water 100 L(10% from total tank volume (my tank volume 1000L) at 3 day, i mean at 1st day 40litre, 2nd day 30litre and 3rd day 30L..... how do you think ?

thx for the attention

[williammuk]

Did you test your pH to confirm if that is really the problem?

I'm thinking -- would 10L of kalk into a 1000L tank really cause such a problem?

[Gouldian]

The easiest and quickiest way is to check whether the water are milky or blurish. When you have too much kalk for your tank to handle, you will caused percipitation, this is will cause your water to look as above and you will also see white spots apearring at the side of your tank glass.

I have that happening to me before to the extend that my tank stayed cloudy for 6 hours!. But fortunate to say, all livestocks pulled through.

Try to establish the actual cause of your demised, do not be to quick to conclude that it is the kalk.

[farrel]

yes, i'm looking at my tank there's is like white spot on the glass, and today my clown trigger and letter six is dying.... maybe i'm wrong think that the kalkwasser casuse this all but after my control valve broke and this accident happen

Sorry ooo God.....

[bwilly]

not easy to kalk overdose...

how much u dose??

I mix n dose a bottle (500ml or less) 2 days..

replenish my water level..

not much problem on overdose.

[farrel]

10 liter at my 1000 liter tank, and its not by dripping way because my valve control has broke so the all kalkwasser direct get in to my sump and 4 hours my regal tank die and followed by other fishes, unfornutelly i know it after 1 next hours.... what do you think. and now i think ammonia level is too high, tommorow i do water change 50%..... i hope this good way for my tank.....

IS TAT weipro ur only skimmer?

for a 1000L tank u just use a weipro?

maybe got other factor causing them to die

[williammuk]

So far, you have not shared with us your water parameters.

Perhaps if you could do a complete test and post the results here,

we might be able to gain a better understanding of the problem.

Cheers.

In my opinion, if you could provide the results of the water test, it might help in some way for us to suggest a solution to your problem.
