Did I ever tell you that I use to have a life full of DRAMA ? Well I still do sometimes. Reef Drama. Lol.
Last year. May 2024 when I set up the 320 in the breakfast room. I had heavy metals. Sps died or was struggling. I live on Struggle Street. After months I figured out it was rust that some how gotten into my water mixing container. Ok. Fixed that problem.
Well this year. I moved the 320 into the shed. Cool. It’s should be all good. Right ? Nope. Heavy metals again. I think I got a piece of bad dry rock. It would leach and leach. I must have spent like 200 dollars on cuprisorb, carbon, filter pads, test kit reagents, etc.
Well months and months again. I’m finally getting ahead of the copper and heavy metals.
At the same time. I keep noticing water on my floor. Found a few leaks. Fixed it. Then they leaked again. Fixed it again.
Now here’s the kicker. I put Urban Farmers Schedule 80 fittings in the back of my aquarium for the returns. Cuz I didn’t want to ever have to change them again. They are the best. Each fitting is like 25-30 dollars.
I’ve been looking for a leak for months and months again. In my UV line to the aquarium. I thought it was in the plumbing or UV itself. Well I finally found it today. It’s a hair line crack. Not even on the mold seam. I think I just won the bad luck lottery. Tell ya. This aquarium life is crazy.
