So, my protein skimmer went nuts. The collection cup automatically drains to my sink drain. My RODI unit automatically tops off to my sump on a float valve. Fresh water was replacing salt water for the last 48 hours while I was out of town.
Salinity dropped to 12 ppt.
Corals and inverts all dead. Fish all hanging on. Pretty devastated, but it is what it is at this point.
I have done a water change to get it up to 19ppt. I will continue daily water changes for the next 5 days or so to get back to 35 ppt.
My question is, what should I expect? I am assuming all beneficial bacteria is dead also. I have 11 fish in a 225 gallon display. Will they survive the cycle? Any chance?
The good news is all the algae died . Just looking for the silver lining.
