One thing I have learned from this crash, I will never dose anything in the same day with my water change. Luckily enough I was doing water change and changed the carbon on different days, I had a chance to suspect about the carbon and pulled it out fast enough. Even so, it took me a day and a half before I decided to turn off the reactor. If I changed that carbon on the same day, I would have never suspected it right away and may have blamed for the water polluttant or something else. I would have killed all the corals if I continued to let that carbon sit in my tank even just for one more day. My tank was look like having a snow storm all over my corals in just 2 days, most of them were completely bleached. I was devastated didn't know what was going on my tank with no clue at that time. From now on, I will dose everything like calcium, magnesium, kalwasser, etc ... that is new in the bottle or container, one at the time and wait for a reaction before dosing another. If something goes wrong at least I know right away what is the cuprit.
