Bad news
I haven't been able to update my blog lately due to how busy my life has been. The tank has been going very well for the past few nights, but on Thursday i decided to add some kalk and left it dripping while i was not home. Big mistake :( the flow control valve stopped working for some reason and it poured 5 gallons of super saturated lime water into the tank, partially overflowing it. I tested params and was horrified to find my calcium was over 550 and my kit could not test for it because it was so high. My SPS did not seem affected, but my BTA, shrooms, yellow polyps and zoos all did not look very good. Most just looked less expanded than usual. I think i will completely stop adding calcium for a couple of weeks till it can come down to reasonable levels. Also i am very confident my reef will make a full recovery.
