do you run any kind of phosphate remover?

Are you saying that your tank was thriving at 1.019? Then after correction it went south? What were your other params. calcium, alk, phos and mag? Just from what you said your system has a lot of un needed elements more than likely from your mix. If they are high maybe the alk and calcium were...

if possible remove the rock from the aquarium and pull off as much as possible then scrub it, rinse it really well and put back in.

Thats awsome.. beautiful coral..

WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO Congrats ... a little sharky...lol

looks awsome john...

thats awsome.. joe is a very cool dude...

i am under the impression that thier is now 2 mr corals.. i believe the online is still the same but the retail shop is now run by someone else. ive heard it has improved.

if it is a fish only or a non sps system then instant ocean is the best salt to use. always consistent and on the lower price scale. If it is a reef tank with sps I am hearing a lot of good things from the aqua vitro. it is a bit on the pricey side though. that said you will probably save on...

maybe make up a temporary sump and hose it outside the stand. mt out your sump and try to reseal all the seams without removing it. I know its probably a tight space but you won't have to mt your display to do it..

With chemi clean your supposed to change water 48 hours after dosing.

If the cash is not an issue I would look into the MRC bio sump or the 24x48 reef sump. They also have some serious skimmers.. I love mine.

I've had that before also. Mine was in the back. I put some silicone over it for one to prevent it from becoming a bigger problem and two you sometimes have sharp edges. It usually is not a problem...

Just curious as to what type of filtration you are using. Mike is right on with the diatoms. Give it a chance and they will go away as your tank matures. All new tanks go through different algae outbreaks. I. Agree on ditching the star fish.

I have plenty of reef rock. pm me if interested in getting that tank going. where are you located? I can get it to you asap.. the high mag using tech m works wonders on bryopsis..

hey jr i have a 65 you are welcome to use if you are close.. it is drilled for an overflow..

the asm skimmers are awesome. put it in the water and plug it in very very simple. skims very well. Ive had a g3 for years. I replaced the 5000 pump with a 9000 and this thing skims like crazy.. ...

lol the un killable zombie acro 5000.00 per frag..

great job.. persistence pays off in this hobby. I just saw two posts though with the same response. hair algae in one tank but not the other. I would not blame the rock right away. over the years i have found that in multi tank systems one of the tanks can almost act as an ats. usually it will...

just another take on this.. from the looks of your tank from what i can see you do not have hair algae but some type of macro. you don't have a lot of coral in there. I would remove the rock. pull off as much of the macro as possible and toss it... then i would bleach the rock in a bucket for a...
