If I recall correctly, this started right after you set up your dosers, yes ?
Have you checked into possible contamination from your dosing products and/or equipment ?
Also, have you tested for copper ?
And a long shot, but is your RO still removing all chlorine (or chloramines if your municipality uses it ) ?

Hope you figure out the cause

Yes. Right after I added the doser and switched from seachem builder to bulk kh. I my levels are ok now so I think the bulk chemical is bad.


No ro. Never have. 6 years without a problem.

Copper I tested at one point but came up negative. However I just added chemipure elite to absorb any possible copper that maybe I was unable to test.

As for equipment I plan to check it all after I remove the last couple softies and find my neon.

I am going to remove the rocks to a separate tank. Then cure them in the dark. Remove all the sand and clean it. As well as clean the sump and check for rusty parts that may be leaching.

Ugh.

I'll start a new thread for the "rebuild" or maybe just keep the current going and it will be full record.
