pdxmonkeyboy Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Leaving a skimmer collection cup pump on results in dumping a ton of fresh mixed calc in the authors tank. PH was 10+ when he came home. Before... nice! After.... my god the loss!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisriverfisherman Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I had half a gallon of calcium pump into my tank I feel the pain, but mine wasn't as bad as this one. When I noticed my cal was over 1500 whoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabbyCrabs Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 That brutally sucks. When you reboot I'm sure many here will donate a frag of something, if they don't recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmonkeyboy Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 It was like 10 years ago. Reason number 438 why sharing frags among the club members is a great thing. And yes Sean, I have a TDF frag for you (although I think Bert just gave me a red planet instead of a TDF lol) https://reefs.com/magazine/epic-fail-the-anatomy-of-a-disaster/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say thanks for sharing but I'm still feeling a little queasy. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_Terik Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Wow! Definitely a precautionary tale about the risks of hurrying anything on a reef tank. Very good read, thanks for the share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
