Ohhh ok, well dang then. That still sucks!
Yeah I'm trying to get home soon and see what the damage is. The water was still murky this morning everything had a film on it. I basically ended up with a tank full of Kalk paste, which is what you use to kill unwanted corals.Ohhh ok, well dang then. That still sucks!
Yeah we will see what I can salvage. I'm gonna have to do about a 90% water change when I get home to get the paste out.Wow, That sucks. You had some nice looking stuff in there.
Not sure. I have them in one of the 40 breeders at the moment. Going to move them into the main display later to get some lights on them.Damn, I really liked that Blue/Purple one. Do they have any color left?
Oh I won't. I can just kick myself for think they'd be ok. Lesson learned.Sorry to see that, Cody. Don't give up on those corals - I've seen corals with less live tissue than that come back.
The lesson learned is finish putting together my damn cnc router and build a proper Kalk reactor. This whole problem would have been avoided if I were using one.Oh I won't. I can just kick myself for think they'd be ok. Lesson learned.
A great reason for me no to just put it in my top off, that’s why I’m going to be dosing it via a dosing pump. So that it is controlled.The lesson learned is finish putting together my damn cnc router and build a proper Kalk reactor. This whole problem would have been avoided if I were using one.
Oh I still plan on using my auto top off to run the Kalk. The difference is that I would have used reactor to push the new incoming water through the bottom bed of Kalk. Then it would have gone into the tank no problem. The problem wasn't that I dosed too much Kalkwasser. The problem is that I dosed the damn powder itself.A great reason for me no to just put it in my top off, that’s why I’m going to be dosing it via a dosing pump. So that it is controlled.
Nah my wife ate them before everything went south.were my snails in there?

so long as she enjoyed them is all that mattered.... was it a side dish to the cat tail and rice?Nah my wife ate them before everything went south.

Nah, dog.so long as she enjoyed them is all that mattered.... was it a side dish to the cat tail and rice?
Imagine a bucket with Kalk powder in the bottom. You then pour in a bunch of water over the powder and it makes a flurry in the bucket. If the auto top off starts pulling immediately, then it doses that flurry. To prevent this, I poured enough fresh water into the tank to turn off the auto top off, yet it didn't work for some reason and I ended with a tank full of Kalk. The powder never had a chance to settle to the bottom of the bucket.How?????
Powder directly in the sump/tank?
