Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Do your water testing in front of a window, syringes, test tubes, bottles of chemicals, if that dos not get there attention, they are not looking at you. Good idea to have a lawyers cell phone ready first!
Blow it off with a turkey blaster, let your skimmer and sump take it out. Find what the cause is, water parameters, excess feeding ect. Water flow is a big one, you may want to increase it. All else fails, Red Slime Remover works and is reef safe.

I needed a place to park my shrooms so with parts hanging around I set this up on my kitchen counter. 20 long, Compact PC lights, 2 power heads and a basic hang on whisper filter. It works, the filter was running on my Rock cycling tank. Alot of these softy's seem to like PC lights over T-5s...
Update of my 40 Frag Tank, T-5 Lighting, 4 powerheads and hooked up to my Main Display in a overflow loop taking advantage of the Main tanks Live Rock, sump, skimmer and cheato. This tank was taken down a few weeks ago for polishing and since the Main display tank basically runs this tank it did...
