Since your prob curious about the title ill now tell you how to make gross black skimmer jello in your sump and kill your tank...
1. Write simple stupid instructions on how to set vodka and ALK doser timer bar if power goes out
2. Find someone that says they understand but really has no clue whats going on.
3. Have them call you asking why your tank turned white only to find out they messed up setting the timer bar and pumped 8 months of ALK and a years worth of VSV into your tank in a few hours
4. Let settle knowing that if they cant set a digital timer they prob cant do a water change or tests
5. Have them call you 2 days later saying its now brown and wondering why your "bubbler thingy" is going crazy and has black stuff coming out of it and try to explain how epically they messed up
6. Come home a week later to this

HAPPY REEFING

That sucks! At least you had the good humor to snap a couple of pics for us!

Sorry about your loss. In hindsight it might have been better to instruct babysitter to just unplug the doser in event of power failure.

Guess youve never had a SPS tank with high demands when one day of not dosing will drop your ALK from 9 to 6
