Yes, good luck indeed. I know how it feels, I can only imagine how amplified it would be in a tank of this stature.

I'm sure you've checked, and sorry if I've missed the info, but you've confirmed that you're not getting a NO3 reading? Elevated NO3 can depress your pH somewhat.

I got a NO3 reading of 19ppm a few days ago. My last water change seems to have reduced that to 14ppm. Phosphates are also slightly high, measuring 12ppm yesterday. Not perfect...but not the kind of levels that kill coral.

Is that a misprint? I freak out if my phosphate reaches 1.0 ppm! What are you using to test phosphate and nitrate?

I'm glad to hear you have figured out the problem. Sometimes automation kicks our butts doesn't it? Eep! I look forward to hearing about the turn around!

excellent detective work.
nice to see you got to the bottom of it, I can only imagine how much stress this episode gave you, probably more than it did your corals....
