Hope you got things under control. I struggled with this problem and had some success with peroxide but this treatment would not last long. After going through tank blackouts and peroxide treatments, I just could not beat it until I broke down and got CHEMICLEAN. It did the trick but it took...

Merry Christmas! I too can check off my first frag swap but still working on that first meeting. Have a great holiday!

Anyone know if Amphipods are a food source for anemones? I have a few bugs cruising around my BTA and one was inside the tentacles of the anemone but seemed to escape without any noticeable harm.

Hey mark my thoughts are scraped them if they are on the front panel, otherwise leave them alone. When I scrape them the Midas makes a quick snack of them.

A few years ago I did this. I still have an account if you want check out "cachekestral". Planning to try it again once the kids get older. Maybe we setup a REEF KEEPER theme cache. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The DIY bio pellet reactor I setup is doing well. I read that you should have the bio pellet return as close to your skimmer inlet as possible so that it has a chance to remove any extra nutrients released by the pellets which is not consumed by the beneficial bacteria. Good luck.

Not far from my house... I will stop by can check it out. :)

I am dealing with a new tank that has some bacteria issues and trying out a UV sterilizer. It helps reduce the haze that collects on the glass. I will share my results as things progress. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now cutting back on H202 and installed a UV sterilizer. So far I am impressed with the new water clarity. I am hoping it will make a difference with the cyao. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had a few snails die so it seems to be Dino after all. The fish and corals are doing just fine but I want to clean this out quickly so I started the treatment. H2O2 was introduced at 1ML per 10 gallons and I started the 72 hour black-out. Fingers crossed. :hopelessness:
