  1. I'm dosing to remove the nitrate and a water change that large would do far more harm than good . It's starting to clear now and the skimmer has caught up hopefully the anemone and Xenia trees pull out of it and the fish don't develope ich. Thx for your input
  2. As far as bottom feeders go I went with the assorted snails and hermits . Because my tank is a bit larger 130gallons with a 90 gallon sump I opted for a Hawaiian lobster a manderin goby and a watchman with a couple sand sifting starfish. I found as long as the fish are fast swimmers the lobster leaves them alone In the case of sand beds I was always told an inch or four stay out of the in between because of gas release so I went an inch in the display tank and 4 inches in the sump to boost the denitrifying bacteria Hope that helps
  3. I had a similar experience in the end I did a viral/ bacterial cleanse on the the tank and purchased a uv sterilizer after about a week of that I started slowly adding inhabitants to the tank and life returned to my reef It was a poopy and frustrating experience but it's the risk you take sometimes
  4. Need some advice guys I accidentally overdosed my tank(dropped the bottle) The tank should have received a 6 ml dose when in actuality it got closer to 250ml 24 hrs later complete white out in the tank so I did a 40 percent water change and pulled my sprayers out of the water to boost the oxygenation and removal of the nitrogen gas Now other than my anemone and soft corals closing up shop and my house smelling of nitrogen all the inhabitants seem ok Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated
