I had a mini crash this weekend. I had to sit and watch a few SPS' just malt away. It's something that happens over the ocean called the perfect storm. You have Weather fronts coming in from all sides to make one big storm, and this is what I had happen this weekend. first my Calcium bottomed out to around 290ppm so I used the reef calculator to see how much B-Ionic I needed to bring it back up to 450ppm and it was 35oz. yes 35oz's the reason it got so low was as all my stony's started to grow I never adjusted my dose. So I added 30oz over a few days. I was looking for my ALK to drop but it didn't, but what did happen is my salt level went up to 1.032 and with all that going on I reached in the tank to move some things around and the water felt hot come to find out one of my heaters was stuck on and the tank got up to 87 degrees. I think I got it stable, but I'm not out of the woods yet. This is a big shock to the system and I have to bring it back around slowly. I'll update as I get it back in shape. And any advice would help.Thanks.
