For the second year in a row I had a major die off of my SPS. Happened in Late April/early May both last year and this. This year I had about a 90% loss after great recovery and growth after last years issues. My Alk was steady and no major issues that I can think of.
A few people on Reef Central have mentioned that Chloromines might be a problem. I live in Cary and use City water, I use a 7 stage water filter:
5 micron sediment filter
1 micron sediment filter
5 micron carbon block
1 micron carbon block (both BRS)
70 gal/day RO
2 stage DI
I did not have a working PH meter on the tank but nothing was changed to cause the issues.
Does anyone have any water suggestions or experiences similar issues?
Thanks,
Mike
