I cant believe it and I still cant figure it out. Can someone please tell me what the *%& just happened???
Saturday around 10:00 am same old thing diff day. I checked my levels and thought I would try to get my calcium up by adding some kalkwasser. I had not used it since I started using B-ionic which I had not used for three days prior. I mixed a batch and let it sit for 6 hours and then unlike I used to do ( which was add almost the entire pitcher at once leaving only the bottom ) I so the error of my way from this site and added 2 cups slowly. Everything is fine. Sunday I added 2 cups more and a cap of Kent pro buffer. Three to four hours later my first fish dies followed by all other 8 with in hours. My corals all seemed ok I checked all my levels and there are fine???? I decide to do a water change anyway 10 gallons. I wake up to day and the tank is shriveled up?? Some look like they are holding on but my clams are next to go I can tell and my dusters have little arms not fans... I can add that my Plate did not do well with new MH and started to die but he didnt go all the way until after the fish had. The water is a little cloudy not bad and I checked everything again today except ammonia and nitrate and its fine... I just dont get it. It can only be the kalkwasser but I have used it a millon times. Something is way, way out of check but what?? I am just sick
