Thanks. Hopefully you‘ll have success with inverts. great follow for me since we’re having very similar issues.

What was your light period before and what is it now?

I’ve used brightwell neophos to bring the phosphates up. theres a formula. In My 65 I’ve used a half a cap once a week for the past two water changes. tou Need to have phosphates to lower the nitrates.

First I tried vinegar to lower nitrates but no improvement in algae. I found I had zero phosphate with nitrates 40-50. Getting phosphate up over 0.3 nitrates have dropped to about 25 and the gha has not been growing. Before each water change I spot treat an area with hydrogen peroxide. Been a...

I’ve seen a decrease in hair algae since getting the phosphates up. Nitrates starting to come down. Haven’t achieved a balance in calc/alk yet but improving. Changing my RO/DI filters and membranes has been big. Hoping the parameters continue to normalize and settle so I can get some...

I bumped into a club member working the section. They were a vendor at a coral swap we hosted as a club pre-covid before they moved and stopped carrying saltwater. Glad they’re getting back into it.

Had red and green in the past. Yellow tang wiped it out and the only place it survived was in my pump til I changed that. I put an emerald crab in the fuge and I haven’t seen bubble algae in years.

Amazing how direct application of peroxide works. Do a little at a time and give a few days between. GHA has taken my tank over and I just cleared off half a rock with about 5 mL. I read keep it low quantities though because it not reef friendly. Wavemakers off, slow gentle application to...

Freehold is trying to up their saltwater and is doing a decent job. They had a one-spot foxface a week and a half ago that had been there about a month and looked good, if you want to call and check if it’s still there.

Happy New Year folks! Glad to be back in the club and to be re-connecting.

Bump….available for free. it’s coral-safe, but will eat snails and shrimp. Very active and fun fish.

Happy and Merry to all!

Purchased items to re-boot my reef which has fallen into neglect. Fish remain healthy, corals have waned…. Bullet-3 Hang-on protein skimmer 2 full spectrum clip-on USB LED fuge lights ReefFlare Pro Blue light and mounting arm (problems with this but BRS has been great with making things right)...

Is this available for rent? Just set up new lighting and want to check efficacy.
