to TR Marty,
Sounds like your situation there is rapidly decinigrating. If help is to be given, we need some very important information that will be used to get a better picture of actually what you have there and what is happening in your tank.
When did you set up this tank and what water source did you use? Do you have
live rock in there and if so, when did you put it in there? You mention placing a heater in the tank. What temp is it set at and what is the water reading? Also, are you doing basic testing. Amonia,
Nitrites,
Nitrates,
PH,
Salinity. Any swings from the safety zones on any of those is a "Dead Man Walking."
Sorry for the interrogation, but it is necesary in order to help you.
