 Giving Up.....
Ok I am about to give up on my reef, I have a 30gal with a sump, everything I put in the tank seems to die. A few weeks ago I noticed half of my tank just died, i later found out that the heaters went poof, I fixed that problem but everything else i put in the tank dies, I have a crab and snowflake eel left. I am trying to get the tank to be self contained. I don't have a skimmer or canister filter and I just have a typical 50/50 light. I am not sure if that is the problem or not. Then the tank seems to evaporate quite fast so I use tap water with water conditioner, is that the problem? I make sure the saltine is around 1.024. Any advice or help would be appreciated. I am about to call it quits. I will test the tank when i go home. |
