I know the feeling. I have lost thousands of dollars worth of chalices over the past four months. Started when I was really ill and ended up having to go to hospital for a week.

I have tried and tried and tried some more to stop the loss but nothing has worked. Not sure what got them.

Dang it man. I had a Minor set back this year with a Triton Core7 Trace Element overdose. Not sure if it was a bad batch or just the new formula. Either way, it was enough for me to walk away from Triton probably forever.

Tank was doing well before I started it and is doing super good now that I pulled it.

I will never ever jeopardize my tank with Fritz products especially with their salt...I watched more of his video. Regardless very sad.


Oh man so sad...

If LPS is dying that fast something bad definitely entered his water/tank. It's not a water parameter issue in my opinion.

Almost wondering if it was the Fritz salt. We both changed to Fritz at the same time due to how quickly and clean it mixes up. I find it funny that when I had issues I was running Fritz too. I pulled the Fritz and Triton Core7 at the same time because those were the only two things I changed on the system. Then the tank recovered.

I’m near positive my issue was a Trace Element overdose, but I do find it funny that Rico is running Fritz and now this is happening. Coincidence?!? Maybe or maybe not...🤷‍♂️

His current tank is pretty new almost a year or so I think. He had a 300dd about 2 yrs ago that was had been running for quite a bit. I’ve been on a few of his streams he’s definitely been in it longer then me. You can prob look back and find some old videos, you can also see on tidal gardens channel, than has a video on his old tank.
