I'm pretty sure he's just restarting his tank as well after a crash. Not positive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.R Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Looks good man! I'd be really interested in seeing some picks of your light set-up. I have the same tank and I am looking for ideas on adding some T-5 actinic or some LED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 hopefully he didnt get the black water like i did....two pumps took out everything i had...power failure then the two pumps leached in to my sump and destroyed everything in my tank... what do you mean exactly??? Just curious because it sounds like something I would like to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrock4224 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 short version Had a power outage and shortly after that my tank turned gray balck and everything liquified... corals softies hard corals inverts ... took about 3 days and it was dead... after searching for answers tured out to be two pumps that failed and leached something in to the tank... some greasy substance....I dont think the power outage had much to do with it...just check and clean yor submersable pumps regularly... cost me a ton in time and money....
