New problem for the day. ATO dumped about 20 gallons of freshwater into my frag tank. Saw it in the morning, turned a fan on over it and went to work.
Finally checked salinity just now and it's about 28.0ppt. I pulled about 6 gallons of water out and added a bit under 5 gallons just to boost a bit.
All coral and fish are still happy looking, including acros with fully extended polyps. Clam however is gaping, which is the main reason I did some water switch.
Currently has a heater blasting in that room, two fans on the tank.
Hopefully is ok. The crazy thing is I've had so many issues with this tank recently and yet everything is very happy. I've never had acros this colorful and growing so well.
Issues just in the last couple months:
* Twice had to power go out overnight due to EcoFlow issues. That would've led to a pretty big temp swing and very little water movement for upwards of 10 hours
* Recently my kalk dosing was either too low or off. Alk has been around 5.5, and I've been slowly increasing it, but it's still below 6. I thought that's actually what screwed up today at first, that I'd been dosing too much kalk until ill realized it was ATO.
* This salinity crash
There's something that's making this tank robust and I'm not sure what it is.
* I dose All-for-Reef during the day and Kalk overnight
* I don't do that many water changes
* I feed many many times a day with an Avast feeder and a mix of reef jerky + mysis
* I occasionally test alk, but nothing else
Really interesting.
