Tank crash help

[furrymurray]

Just throwing a question out here. What is your tank temp? I had a heater malfunction once and lost a lot of fish inverts and corals very quickly.

Sorry for your lose. Hope you find out what happened

The thing that worries me is the 0-0-0 readings.. Theres gotta be some sort of chems showing up

 

[jeffaquarius]

I believe we covered that with running it with a new test...correct?

Oops my mistake. Missed that one. In that case, since your parameter readings are perfect all you need to do now is make observation after pwc.

Is it possible that some airborn chemicals made their way into the tank?

 

[Jacobdlaw610]

Tank temp is 78 and nothing gets sprayed in that room for anything airborn

Are there glass lids on the tank? Do you keep fresh air circulating in the room? Reason i ask is because a big enough ph swing could do this and if it returned to a relatively normal ph when you tested it, youd never know

No glass lids and a fan blows across the top of the tank the thing also is I ran all my parameters before adding gfo and all was good before hand.

What was your Alkanity before and after 2 days your gfo was installed?

1.024 always

Not salinity. The alkalinity in dKH usually drops with GFO and it can affect tank inhabitants if it's too low.

Ah I have it written down at home in my logs I will check when I get home

What's your ph reading, can't remember if this was posted previously and is it possible the pump used to drive the reactor has a voltage leak is it old or new if it is the pump it will take a while for survivors to bounce back to good health
