Forget fish....above 10ppm is toxic for long term exposure for people and enough to cause serious problems for young children and the elderly???

Explains a lot about Brantford people I guess....lol...

crap, I think tonite I am going to test my ro water, this is not good, we buy this stuff so that we have for better quality, wow..

Ok, time for everyone to dust off their nitrate tests! Let's compare numbers on rodi w/salt (if that makes any difference). Adinfinitum is causing a ruckus!

The upside is that it won't kill fish until it is in the thousands so it's just your kids we're worried about at this point.... LOL

BTW last time I checked my new SW I got 0 nitrate and 0.05 phosphate (higher than I expected but ok) Reef Crystals.

Jeff, you have a bit nervous when you tested your ro/salt water. tested mine this morning, 00000. could it be that maybe the filters need to be changed..just a thought..

I think that algae on the bottom of your tank might be Dino bro

Dinoflagellate. It's a wicked nasty algae. You might have lights out and cover your tank for a week

Dinos are brown and stringy and slimy and will disappear at night and reappear in the day.

Good thing they just came out with DinoX product for Ya Jeff.

DinoX is algaeX renamed, it has had very little success killing nuisance dinoflagellates.

Possiblities are seemingly endless! Seems i may have no choice but to empty tank and start from scratch. Funds being what they are (essentially nonexistent!), I would need to sell remaining livestock to do it. Anyone interested in zebra moray, toby puffer, sailfin tang, tuxedo urchin, toadstool, and kenya tree? Would also trade for liverock. I have a feeling my rock is the root of my problems.

If you have Dinos, you will be passing it along, even with livestock.

you need to see this through, tank needs to regain stability, it looks like cyano in your pic. clean it out, get your params and nutrients in check and give it some time. nothing good happens fast in this hobby, just the bad.

I really think my rock is more dead than alive. Haven't seen any "night crawlers" for months. Hindsight being 20/20, i prob should've started this tank with well seeded, mature rock. Prob had too much die off while storing mine.
