I started the culture in two identical 1L bottles. Salt water is mixed with the recommended dosage of ferts. 7 days later the culture has turned emerald green. So I poured out half of one of the bottles and refilled with the same fertilized water, leaving the other bottle untouched. Two days...
Not reef related. But I've been wanting this for a while. Marathon government TSAR. Tritium tube note the nuclear mark on the dial. A very tough watch.

Found these in the shed. These were rented from Pelican Ski Shop years ago and the next year the shop went out of business. What a genius idea.
My kids skied in these a few times. Still very serviceable. Skis last forever. I still using mine from 10+ years ago. However you must adjust them to...
I have a very simple wrench that came with a bulkhead kit I bought years ago. I still have it. It's a simple piece of metal and one size is for a 3/4" the other 1". I think it's an aqueon. You're welcome to try it if you want to make the drive. But it may not work for you since I see you have...

Take away is eat less meat more veggie. Good for humans and the planet as well.
I have an old T5 fixture with 6 bulbs you can give it a try if you like. I like using one purple bulb really bring out the red color in fish. Buy a few more bulbs so you can play with different combos.

Paul - BP won't solve your PO4 problem completely. It almost always deplete NO3 first. Some people even dose NO3. You can run a little GFO to remove the excess PO4.
For hair algae problem you can get a couple of Emerald crabs. These have done wonder for me.
Forget about measuring PO4 I found it quite useless. BP is good but be patient and wait for it to kick in. I would get 3 emerald crabs that will take care of you algae problem.
