SO, I set up my brand new Reefer E170.
Seeded with dead rock and live sand.
Cycled for about 3 months.
Turned lights on running skimmer
Had diatom bloom and some dark green algae but nothing much
Permams
salininty 1.024
temp 76-78
PH 8.3
ammonia 0.01
NItrite 0.0
Nitrate o.o
Put in cleaner package from reef cleaner org. had about 70% doa, put rest in tank looks like they all died.
checked water params again still looked good.
Tried 2 bangaii cardinals. One dead in less than 24 hours other missing presumed dead because I have not seen it in tank for 24 hours.
What gives? What should I test, try, replace, do?
