I am in Holmdel off GSP 116 wherever works for you is fine. If you go directly to Paul's I am in your route.

@Rread16 if you don't mind I like to intercept you Saturday morning. I want the BRS chemicals.

Not sure if it's the iodine dosing the rainbow nem never looked better.

If you're trying to strip your water of PO4 thus stopping the growth of cyano, your corals will suffer first. So it's not a good strategy. A proven strategy is to keep the nutrient levels, NO3 and PO4 at around the redfield ratio, about 1ppm and 0.03ppm. As for your cyano outbreak, use chemi...

I think one prerequisite for keep these type of creatures is the ability to culture photo, pods and mysid shrimps. Mysid shrimp is like 20 cents each you know how small it is...

Yeah my potassium number is pretty solid :) @saltkreep88 I too was hoping something was wrong with the level so I could fix it. My red is actually pretty good right now. But green is not dark enough but then again I have nothing to compare to. The green slimer is yellowish so is the paletta...

410ppm. So I finally bought a test kit and the number is boring :)

LMK if you have any. Thanks.

Congrats on the big upgrade. Looking forward to seeing it in action. Rough estimates it's about 500g. I will generally shoot for 3-5 times turn over which means 1500-2500gph for your tank. An 1.5" full siphon should handle it easily. As for overflow boxes current trend is to have a very slim...

I try not to run an ULNS system so can't really answer your question. I do dose acro power very occasionally. It helps with PE a little.

Yes dose nitrate is both easy and cheap.

On the other hand I have not run GFO for a long time. I just don't see the need for it when you can carbon dose.

I have never used a sponge. I run about 2 gallons of tank water through it first by pointing the outlet to a 5 gallon bucket.

I would get a 20g and a HOB filter for a classroom setting. So much easier and it will be more fun. Like mark mentioned an ATO will be important though in the classroom you can have kids taking care of refilling. I can donate a heater, rocks and a few easy corals. You probably don't need to...

No sponge when used for GFO.

Well we all have a lot of dead corals :) I would say you have a very slim chance of keeping an anemone alive in a 6.6 gal aquarium. The easier corals are zoas, polyps, leathers and acans. Although polytoxin might be of concern. Maybe some people here with nano reef can chime in on what the...

I notice you have a clam. My copperband picked at and killed my small maxima.

Mine had not picked on any corals but my experience is limited to one specimen.

If you have not used gfo before it might strip you water too clean. So be careful with that. I would not use gfo as a long term solution. Carbon dosing is easier to implement and more flexible. As for whether the algae will go away, it's hard to say. When your tank is balanced algae should be...

I have the brown ones with golden threads...
