Funny you post this, I was gonna start a Reefcleaners thread. I received my order of snails from them yesterday. As you said, A+. I got double what I ordered with very minimal DOA if any.
Exactly, cyano grows over the new tips.
I'll post a pic tomorrow, I'm at work for the rest of the night.
I would like to keep Alk a bit more consistent, but is a .5 swing in a week big enough to cause problems? A box of IO I got has some wacky params. Ca- 360, Alk- 12. I've been spiking my...
WCs once a week, religiously.
The acropower and snow is the only change.
All coral got a good Bayer dip before going in.
I may back off of the dosing and continue to monitor.
Water tests fine.

Looks like cyanobacteria.

I received my Taam Rio coral feeder set today and I'm very happy. I used the longest one to blast my rocks tonight and it work perfectly. No more hands in the tank for "coral feeding".
I cleaned my cup Friday. I'll clean it again today. I could let it go longer but the neck gets really gunked up. I try to keep the neck as clean as possible.
