My nitrate is 80.
 

How fun is that... *sigh*

This is not in the wrong forum, I'm dealing with it, I just want some sympathy LOL

If I stand on my head I see that your nitrates are .08 ! That's awesome! :mrgreen:

Aww :) Way to be positive, I like it!!

Hey Keri. Haven't seen you on here for awhile. Welcome back! And good luck with the nitrate battle.

Yes, good to see you around. Whats your guess on reason ?

Kien you crack me up :lol:

I'm not entirely sure, tho our tank sat for months with just the 3 fish (in 120g) a coral beauty, small foxface and a clown and then 2 weeks ago we added 6 tiny chromis and a mandarin, could have triggered it. One of the chromis was wounded a couple of days ago and went MIA sooo.... maybe? The tank is nearly 2 years old, I would have thought it would handle it better but who knows... I've got at least 2 giant cukes in there, maybe one kicked it?

*so far* tonight I see everybody but the mandarin still swimming, it's still suuper cloudy but we did a 35g w/c. I'll have to post pics.

This pic is from last night - the tank is WAY less cloudy today, just hazey.... and so far all of my fish are still alive, crazy!

So how are things ? That looks like my tank some time ago after someone dumped some stuff in the tank just add some red coloring, but I lost everything. No clams or such ? I'd go with the cucumber theory. Hope all is well.

Did it just go cloudy like that all of a sudden? Do you run a skimmer or carbon?

That almost looks like something spawned in the tank.

Good luck!

Ya, that isn't from a chromis going missing!! Either some bacterial bloom or as Tony mentioned, a spawning.
