    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Ok did some reading and it does seem pretty simple. So you say dose Vodka and the vinegar together. Why both just out of curiosity.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    I have a Skimz Sp207. It is def oversized for my tank. Will research carbon dosing. Not sure what’s involved with that.I’m so confused right now since I was dosing nitrates for a while because I couldn’t keep them in my tank. Now I’m no longer dosing and the nitrates are super high. I hope I...

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    .12 is a little too high Looking for .03/.04 my nitrates are currently very high. Not sure what’s going on since my nitrates are usually around 5-10ppm. Had the dreaded Dinos already. Seems like when I beat them I got this algae now. My cure for Dino’s was easier. Blackout and keep tank super...

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Have a Foxface and Mexican turbos. For some reason nobody touches it. I brushed a lot out but it’s still there. Against my judgment I ended up doing a fluconazole treatment which didn’t do anything to the algae. That’s why I think it may be Lyngba. I did take out one rock spray with peroxide...

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    So I have been running GFO in a TLF reactor with a flow of about 43 gph and my phosphates are at .12. I am also having an issue with I think may be Lyngba since I still have this algae problem and nothing is touching it. As far as lowering phosphates to help combat this algae should I change...

    WTT Lunar wrasse for a different Wrasse

I also have three shrimp in the tank that the fish needs to get...

    Molly for GHA what do you think?

    Tank is a 120 with a yellow tang, Foxface, Lawnmower Blenny as well as some other fish. I have been scrubbing but I think this is a product of me beating Dinos. Guess I will have to get in there and get to work. Is this something that should be done with flow off so it doesn’t spread or don’t...

    Molly for GHA what do you think?

    Already have a Foxface. Of course he doesn’t show an interest.

    Molly for GHA what do you think?

    So I have a little bit of a hair algae problem. Would I benefit from a couple mollies. I see they devour GHA. My snails and lawnmower Blenny either don’t touch it or do very little to control it. Looking for ideas. Also if tank is treated with fluconazole will anything eat algae or will it just...

    My poor wrasse!

    Not at all he just did his thing in the tank. Nobody ever bothered him. I’m thinking he swam up the tube where the food was and maybe got freaked out causing him to jump out. Really sucks though

    My poor wrasse!

    I go downstairs to mess with my tank and I noticed my yellow chest wrasse committed suicide. Dried up on the carpet. Im curious how he did this since I have a lid. The only possible way was for him to jump up was through my feeding tube. Guess he may have went inside tube when food was being...

    Is this torch worth it

    Looked like it was some sort of grape cristata. Oh well I missed out. Next time. It actually had 3 heads on it.

    Is this torch worth it

    Is this torch worth 40.00. Looks like some kind of Cristata torch. Almost like a purpleish hue. Guess it could be a grape cristata?
