    HELP! Got tingling in my finger when touching water & Coral not opening

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    Hey guys,

     

    I am pretty new to this hobbits with struggling on water parameter and care to keep a corals happy on my own. Recently my hammer corals suddenly not opening up, cauliflower melting.

     

    When I put my finger in I got tingling shock in my finger when touching the water. I test with multimeter on AC. Black probe on ground and red probe to the water. It shown 0 on the meter. But when I put my finger in the water, 12V shown on the meter. I have unplugged all items (skimmer,light,2xAC pump) and turn on 1 by 1. Each item has less than 4V shown on the meter. I feel nothing when I turn on individually. Until I plugged all the 4 item. Which shown 16V on the meter. Understand that its a stray/induced voltage passing through from our body to ground. Should I be worry about it? Would it be the cause of coral not opening/dying?

     

    Hopefully, I can get some help from expertise here. Kind of struggled to see coral dying.

    Hi, I Jump start the tank by using seasoned salt water from LFS. Put in elegance,hammer cyranino,zoas,clown fish,foxface, within 5days. The tank is with me nearly 3month now since early NOV. I assumed the tank has cycled. Base on my knowledge, cycled a tank means NH3>NO2>NO3. Which my tank now have 0 NH3 and NO2. Correct me if I'm wrong >.
    I have run GFO & Carbon in the filration system. A hang on refugium with chaeto

    Hi All Seniors,

     

    I'm new to this hobbits and started out of a 50cmx40cmx40cm Nano Tank being around 3months now. I'm struggling with red slime algae last month. I have been using chemiclean to removed the red slime algae and cause the skimmer shut down for 2 weeks duel to the overflow side effect. The red slime algae is gone, but I spot the brown algae is surrounding my rocks,sand, WORST covered up my zoas. Any shifu can help me identify the issues?
