Bad information?

I was having problems with some of my test results. My PH was at 5.5 and I didnt know why. I was told by a good friend of mine that in order to raise the PH I should add regular distilled vinegar--about 1 cup per 10 gallons...so I did! Guess what? Dont EVER do that! Everything in my reef tank died within a matter of minutes! I lost over 15 different corals and all my fish as well as the stars were floating in the tank. I am just sick about it and thought I should warn others not to add as much vinegar as I did. I guess we learn from out mistakes!

LOL reeferkeeper !
Pretty good one, had me going for a second.
I was thinking I was going to have to hop in my car, grab a map, take a drive up Michigan way, and smack you with an empty bottle of vinegar !
But ......... looks like I get to stay home tonight
April Fools Day - fall for it every time.
Later

The sad thing is, we wouldn't have fallen for it if people weren't told crazy mess like that all the time, usually by someone at a LFS.
