I had a problem with a death in my reef tank, i had 60 dollar shrimp die in an hour, about, and took it back for a 50 percent store credit.

The guy was SLI, he vibed like a Harrison Ford type, we meshed well in talking the talk about the hobby, he was very scientific in chemistry in this context, in explaining the dynamics via an Ne analogy of the buffer system in oceanic water.

He asked a lot of good questions and was satisfied that i knew what i was doing.

I said i wont add another one in again, and he agreed to it. I said i have a hunch the alkalinity is on the high side and it shocked it to death. He seemed to think the same thing.
