Quick edit of my tank.

SPS are happier than they have been for a while, after the bloody chiller was removed and I am in the process of tweaking colors again. Getting that SSC back to pink is the current challenge...

What was the issue with the chiller?

Nice video of your tank mate.
What did your chiller do to to get itself removed?

The chiller story is in the my previous tank journal: http://thereefuge.com/threads/1st-half-of-2016-tank-update.14608/

It was creating stray voltage and/or leeching something in the water.
Given that the Triton test hasn't accused anything major, like high levels of cooper or iron, I guess the real issue was stray voltage.

Looking good man!

Looks great. Sorry t.o hear about your Chiller.
How did you find out you were about the stray voltage. Hope it wasn't the hard way.

I noticed little shocks when I put my hands in the tank, double checked with a multimeter and started switching gear one-by-one to find the source.

I am still not 100% my acros were dying because of stray voltage, the only evidence is that my acros started recovering soon after I unplugged the chiller. I will plug it back in a few days, just to make sure.
