-I will have to check the ph at night... how long does it take for the ph to drop after lights out???
-Salinity stays right at .026(auto fill with ro/di)
-there is verry little Ca, kalk or bufffering done, the coral load is very low and weekly 35g WC has kept the levels stable.
Thanks Brucy i will check into the PH swings between day and night, every time i have checked the ph it has been during the day. Just so i dont go bald at 22 i hope that is the problem, im tired of pulling my hair out trying to deal with fish. Ill post the ph levels tonight.
Thanks again
Dane

3. How are you dosing Kalk / Buffer / Calcium etc. All of which need to be done incredibly slowly.
Sorry for the questions but I'm guessing a swing of any one value could be stressing your fish out and causing the problems. For your info, my root cause was PH shock induced in the fish, with the PH swinging from 7.7 to 8.5 during thr datlight hours and then back again at night. Everything had ich and all succumbed to it in the end. Now I monitor PH and dose Kalk to stabilize it between 8.4 and 8.6. No more ich.
Anyway, HTH.
