Water is not crystal clear but not cloudy and nitrates are at 0. alk a little low nothing serious and I don't have a ph test kit. Could my ph be causing this? Could it be peeling the cloves? Wondering if they may have put toxin in the water. Fish healthy no ich.... A little history plugged my heater in an outlet that went off with the light tank got cold 74 for 2 weeks or so fish got ich but it has all cleared. ------------- I have flying monkeys and I'm not afraid to use them. 180 gallon money pit that I love..... |

I bet it was the cloves. I'm sure they put off a defense mechanism. That's where I would put my money. Double up or change your carbon. ------------- 335G Reef TOTM. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/2/aquarium ReefKeepers TOTM Feb. 2012 http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....k-of-the-month & |

  One more thought, since I've been doing this today. Is your skimmer cleaned? If it doesn't clear up, do a waterchange also. ------------- 335G Reef TOTM. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/2/aquarium ReefKeepers TOTM Feb. 2012 http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....k-of-the-month & |
