Possible screw or nail or other metal fastener dropped in the system somewhere during construction?

Any nearby old pipes maybe dropping rust dust into system?

Source water?

Bad salt?

Tin is used to stabilize pvc. may need to ride it out and waterchanges? I would also ask what is above it and does it have lids. where is the tank located...basement?

It's in the garage but no chemicals stored there.

All good thoughts so far

All good thoughts so far.

Is it finished or bare. I bet there is rust coming from a nail or something coming into the tank. also are you running an oil burner/ hot water heater?

Need some help or ideas. Have a buddy that made a big new system for corals/propagation. He lost a lot of stuff due to high levels of tin and aluminum. All new equipment and he's checked magnets, impellers and anything else he can think of. He doesn't have any bio bricks or anything like that. Cupeisprb will take it put but it rises again aver the course of a couple weeks. Any thoughts or ideas?

What kind of sump? And a new skimmer correct?

There's no such thing as a hot water heater. I'll ask about the garage door..good idea.

I'll ask what sump and skimmer.

Is it mounted on a snail?

Hahaha! Nah these are dome mounts. Just started using them for sps- they rock for euphyllia. My theory is the downward slop will encourage centered upward growth.

No cars...lol.that would be funny though. Like....bruhhhh...you're parking a diesel in here and letting it warm up in the morning

Think my final and last thought is fans? Like a large shop fan or something like that.

I would be worried about something in the sand or rock (nail, screw, or metal shavings), hard to see or find, or bad batch of salt. I think something hiding in the rock or sand most likely, may have come that way from the source or dropped something.

Maybe its small enough that it will dissipate in time? So difficult to nail these things down especially if its a big system. I had a rusted up stainless steel hose clamp (i used to use them cause i didn't think it was a big deal) i found that had probably been in there for many years, but didn't really seem like it was hurting anything. I did remove/replace it when i noticed it though.

40 over here, pretty good

He has no sand..its a big frag and grow op. All good ideas, thank you! Sometimes we can overlook the simplest of problems is why I was asking.

Are there any light mounts that are touching water?

I'll ask

 

[andrewj1212]

I'll ask

Some times the screws that tighten them are in the water is my thought

What a mystery.
Heaters, salt mix? Any meatals parts in float switch or any rusty nuts/bolts on rodi unit or wavemakers
