Tanks looks great fish are doing fine...but for one thing. Water test off the charts......Been doing my normal water changes each week %5, skimmer seems to be working fine (lite brown) running carbon in my canister change about every 3 weeks.....good water movement with wave maker 2 1200's and 1 600 maxijet. Tanks been up and running for about 18 months. This is my error I haven't did a water test in several months because everything looks great...here is all my livestock and water results
BTW I'm feeding my tank every otherday with cyclopeeze and krill
Live stock:
2 clown's
2 Banded coral shrimp
1 fighting conch
5 bumble bee snails
8 nassarius snails
8 trochus ssails
4 red leg scarlet reef hermits
3 pencil urchin (LR-hitchhikers)
Water Testing:
pH 7.8
Salinity 1.024
Ammonia 0.25
Nitrate 0
Nitrates 80
Alkalinity 110
Calcium 500...(don't know how got so high don't dose)
BTW I did a test with my test kit on another tank (friend) and got all good reading.
also did a test on my mixed storage water and all ok. I'm using RO/DI with new filter changed every 8 months (0ppm)
Please help pulling my hair out going to do a 50% water change this week
TIA
