well I turned my lights on early today and its a good thing I did! I started looking around and noticed something was wrong my clam wasnt open my corals were bleaching and my nem was the smallest I have ever seen.
I started looking around and couldnt see anything the water was starting to get cloudy so I started doing tests. nitrate was a little high I expected it I had a sharknose goby go missing in the past couple days (he was old)
I started mixing water went to deep sea to get some carbon and a filter pouch. when I got home things were looking worse I shut down everything and started on the process of a 70g water change. after the waterchange everything started looking better so I turned everything back on game back an hr later and it was getting worse clouding up bad
I reached in the tank and bam I new the problem 400w heater broke!
now I am keeping my fingers crossed that I dont lose any more corals. my tyree red dragon and my orange monti caps took the hardest hit so far, I have one chalice bleaching and my frogspawn and blastos are totally closed
