The last Clown seems to be weathering the storm. He ate no problem, but still acts a bit off. I'll let you kids have a look and tell me what you think.
  Tested today just to be sure I didn't overlook something. All seems ok.

Hey, cool paper spreadsheet. Did you steal that idea from someone too ?
 I don't think I've ever seen velvet on marine fish, but that looks like waaay tooo much powder to be MI. But if it is velvet you'd expect it to be dead by now. If it is MI, it looks to me like it's cycled more than once or twice. Hopefully others with more long-term experience will chime in. In the meantime, good luck W Last edited by gregzz4; 06-04-2015 at 03:27 AM.

oh man do i ever feel for you, I feel like we have had very similar tank issues... Dry rock, zeovit and my acros started stning, then i also had an ick outbreak from an emporer angel i added (dumb fish to add to a reef tank btw) that killed over 13 fish and quick 1000 bucks. Several tangs, clownfish, mandarins(prob not ich but weird timing), 10 chromis 1 by 1, it was awful. After about 12 days there was my coris wrasse and 3 chromis that seems to be doing just fine.
I had planned on going fallow but couldnt catch the coris...so i just left it alone for a good month. I recently started to add fish again... Ich is still present in my tank, for sure, but none of my fish I have added have died. I beleive that feeding well and have a very good source of oxygen for the water ( i added another exteral skimmer) keeps fish healthy and heavy oxygen is hard for ich parasites to thrive. My fish show some spots here and there in the evening, but by mid day they are all ich free it seems. so far i have added 15 chromis, a yellow eye tang, mellanarus wrasse, male and female bird wrasse and several anthias..All relatively hardy except for the tang.. Im still not going to QT anymore but i now realise that great husbandy and hardy fish with well oxygenated water is the way i am going to deal with ich.

I am very sorry for the fish losses... losing fish/coral is the worst thing ever and its extremely discouraging...
Alright I did about 20 min of skimming through the thread and I could not find the following information: Net water in the system Flow through the zeovit reactor Dosing schedule Now the bad part which is most likely causing your corals to stn/rtn... 1. I didn't notice a change of salt, however the salt you started with is not recomended in a zeo system... high alk works very well outside of ULNS... Might want to change salts to KZ reef crystals (on sale for another month, but pricy regardless) or going with the Red Sea blue bucket.. tough to get in Vancouver (aquariums west carries it) 2. it is recommended against using a uv reactor with zeovit as it will interfere with the zeovit bacteria... i think you have a constant battle and most likely that's also affecting the sps... think of it this way, you add zeobak which you supposed to do every 3 days, however the uv reactor kills the bacteria and cant properly colonize the rocks; then zeostart floats around the system.. then you add zeobak and there is too much food due to the suspended start in the system and so on... Basically I think the balance of bak vs start is never achieved and the swings are really high due to the UV doing its job. This is not documented, just my conclusion from all the readings I've done. Now you can use a UV, however you need to shut off the UV when dosing bak and turn back on once the cycle is complete, recommended 3 hours if I recall (I don't think anyone can say for sure whats the exact timing of the zeostart vs zeobak is and that's most likely why it is recommended against using a UV reactor with zeovit). Also every tank is different and the timing will be different from tank to tank and that's most likely why they recommend against using UV with zeo. I know this is tough due to fish losses, however I can tell you will be very pleased once the zeovit balance is met...
