I swear my new fuge has cursed my tank

So ever since I started up my fuge, nothing has been going right. It started with my ATO siphoning 3gals of RO water into my tank and nearly overflowing it but I solved that problem. Then I had major noise issues and the sucking of air bubbles which I have thus solved. My duncans have been closed since day 1 of operation and aren't looking too good. Now I was gone for three days and come back to find the majority of my SPS developed RTN and one of my clowns got ich. I'm down to one healthy looking SPS and my Bird of Paradise has paled in color and the base is white but still has polyp extension (don't think it has RTN), do you think I should frag off the good looking areas? My clown is still eating like normal and have now started adding garlic to the food to keep him eating so hopefully that will help. I've also started adding Marine-Max again for some added help.

 

Frag the good areas on the RTN corals. Try to frag as far away from the RTN areas as possible.

What are the param numbers?

 

Last time I checked at the beginning of the week they were all in check. I'll run the battery again tonight to double check.

 

Ok here are the results:
pH: 7.9
Nitrite: 0
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate: 0
Alk: 8
CA: 480
PO4: ~0 (hard to tell with the color card)
Mg: 1400
Temp: 78
Sg: 1.0235

 

Sorry to hear about your problems.

I would try to bring up the SG to 1.026 and maintain it there. Bring up the alk as well a little. What time of day are you measuring the pH?

 

Yeah, I've been slowly bringing the SG up since the ATO incident. I just measured the pH now, so 10:30pm, DT lights have been out for about 3 hours and fuge light came on about an hour ago.

 

SG is the only thing that seems anywhere near off.

Sorry you are having trouble.

 

Try measuring the pH before the lighting period and at the end right before the lights go off and see what kind of swing you have.
