I was having the same problem and wondered the same thing. I didn't want to risk it so last water change I sucked out as much as I could. I didn't...
Have you/can you test for copper? Do you have/had anything in the tank that could leach copper? Just a thought... TJ
I think show glass would be reffering to Starfire glass. It's clearer than standard glass. I believe that topic has been discussed a few times here....
You could just start by visiting some of 3reef's sponsors. TJ Edit: oopps beat me to it. and if it hasnt been said Welcome!
Sorry for your loss, chalk it up to a learing experince. One thing no one has mentioned yet. You rinsed your live rock off. If you rinsed it with...
I have to +1 on that. Immediate responses, great pricing and just an all around good guy! TJ
I have the same issue only when I close up the house & run the A/C. As soon as I turn it off & open the windows it comes back up to 8.2+ from 7.6-7...
Sorry, thought you said money was not an issue. In that case you will probably be hard pressed to find a new MH fixture for under $500 unless you...

Looks like cerith snail eggs. TJ
It has to do with the amount of air to water surface area. Shorter rectaglular tank has more surface area than a taller hex tank of the same volume....
Finally seeing some nitrates and amonia levels are droping ;D I had a catastrophe in the temporary tank that was holding my fish. The damn heater...
Mine did the same thing. Didn't seem to bother it much. They used to nip at the flesh until it spit out it's food then scoff it up. They finally...
