Hello

Hello all,
I have a 125 that was up and running great for 4 years, last week, the system had a complete failure and I have no idea what happened, the params were all over the map, I lost all the livestock and corals I have had for years, everything! So I have decided to rebuild and I am determined to make it better than ever. I am looking forward to getting some good info from this site and maybe passing on a thing or 2 I have picked up over the years.

Re: Hello

Welcome to RS!
So sorry to hear of your crash. That must be heartbreaking. Any ideas what happened? Did a dosing pump go crazy or something?
At least you still have the equipment so you don't have to start totally from scratch. How about the LR and substrate. Is that ok or did it crash as well?

Re: Hello

What was the stray voltage coming from?

And a general question for everyone, what would voltage do to the water as far as messing with the parameters?
