could you maybe get some food grade pails so that you would be able to mix/store more..I have some extra's here if you are interested.. another thing, if you have the room, I grab some salt brine containers for mixing salt and they are working out really well, I have 2, one for reef crystal and one for instant ocean... the price was right too, free...

Yeah but i have no way to measure what 60gals is. Thats why i have 2 the same size so i can make sure its equal.

 

[reeferkeeper420]

Yeah unfortunately i dont have the space to keep extra water on hand.

So thanks to jerry today for coming over and testing my water. Found out i was just reading the test wrong i was looking at low range so it was really tellin me 5-10 ppm, not 50-100 lol. Now to start dosin tech m for the bryopsis and hope its the bryopsis irritating the acros. If its not i have no idea what causing my acros to do this.

that is awesome, once you know the issue then its easy to formulate a plan to fix it...

I think that is a good example of why retesting is important (as several people suggested) before doing anything drastic... good thing you didn't go crazy with addressing a problem that turns out wasn't there.

Yeah just stupid me. I was used to testing for low range cause it was always next to undetectable, so when i went to do it i forgot and ended up thinking it was through the roof lol. Definately glad i didnt do anything drastic.

No problem. I do think the algae has a factor here, as the acros that seem to be affected the most were surrounded by algae. Get that m tech going and go from there, manual removal will help the m tech as well. Your fish may take a liking to any new growth as well if you starve them a bit.
