replenish

Has anyone used this product before. I think this stuf killed my tank i did a water change sunday the same as i always do. the only differance is i used this product on this change.I lost a humu trigger,a snowflake eel,My six line a fire fish a damsel last night my clownfish was still alive but all my corals were closed and my brittle star was not looking good.I checked all the water test all come back purfect.My eel died on tuesday thats when i noticed something was wrong. Man what a kick in the teeth. thanks for listening

 

There really isn't anything in Replenish that should cause this. As a note since you are mixing salt water there would be no reason to add replenish. I assume it is meant for freshwater as I use a similar product for my discus. All you need is a good quality salt. Maybe the potassium?? replenish has potassium in it and if I remember right potassium in high concentrations can crash a tank. The other ingredients are calcium, magnesium and sodium which shouldn't hurt anything in those concentrations.

I would be looking hard for another cause. Most of the fish you have mentioned would be very hardy so something very wrong has happened. I would be looking at extreme numbers for ammonia, salinity or temp. Other than that something has gotten into the system like soap or similar. How long has the system been up?

Sorry for your losses, that is a huge kick in the teeth.

 

Thanks for chiming in Joel, I took a sample to my lfs today along with a sample of my ro/di water.I guess I should add the replenish was just added to my topoff water.Not the water I used for salt mixI usually lose a half to a gallon every few days and from sun to monday night i may have topped of about 3/4 gallon or less to .Any how My ro di water had a ph of 8.8 as well as a trace of ammonia and no nitrates. i n my tank water all the parameters were actually very good prob no diff readings than you would get just before a regular water change.I do a 10 percent every saturday or sunday Thats what makes no sense the guys at the store all said the same thing I know that my ro water should read 0 across the board so I am ordering new filters today.I have to be missing something. Thanks for listening

 

For top off you are replacing pure water that has evaporated. You really shouldn't add anything to the top-off as you will build up those elements over time as they are not removed like when you do water changes.
What about ammonia levels in your tank? Absolutley clear test, no yellow at all right? What is your salinity level?
The problem with not knowing what cause this is you won't know if it is cured or not. Usually in cases like you do very large water changes over the course of a week or so. Then you should know what water you are dealing with.

 

Yea top off is just ro/di water.And yea i do know better than to add anything this is the first time I used that product matter of fact I only used a total of 2.5 ml and only added about maybe 3/4 gallon of topoff to the tank is all.Tank water showed barely any color to the water as far as ammonia goes.The only thing that was off was the ph. Spec gravity in tank is 124 calcium is running 520 though a little high but not crazy. I ordered new ro di filters and I am gonna do a 40 gallon water change (using walmart water) tonight.
