For all the times I've used Chemipure (Blue, Elite, etc...) I don't think its ever outperformed carbon, decent water change, and a shot of Aquarium Water Quality & Conditioners: Special Blend Water Conditioner
Growing Cheato in top section of second chamber of my Evo as well.
Also, I'd advise...
One word...
Nanos
More words...
I have 3 since I gave up my 90. A 25g (IM shallow), a 13g (Fluval Evo), and a 10g (IM Nano). They're great accent pieces, corals are spread amongst them so a crash doesn't kill everything, I have space to shift fish (though its never been necessary), each tank...
Almost like an image of crossed swords over a crown.
Draws focus towards the center with minor props.
Branch jutting forward gives nice depth to center piece.
Most excellent.
Any reliable brand or model.
Nothing too crazy, its for a mess-about tank.
If you have one with a broken float switch I have a few spares that I can repair it with.

I dosed to instruction and all my fish, zoas, snails, and carbs are fine.
I did a big clean post treatment trying to find the deceased fish (didn't), ran a 25% water change to compensate, and decreased my feedings, also took to using a turkey baster to gently blow off the rocks and zoas every...
I had the same problem a few months back with a red cyano outbreak. Was feeding a bit much and had a long light cycle for growth, then had a death in the tank and was unable to recover the corpse. The stuff spread like wildfire, all over the place, don't think there was a surface without it...
No color patterns yet, but it (they) is (are) a beautiful bright orange.
With all the zoas I've been cultivating its testimony to the jawbreakers that everyone who see's my tank initially asks, 'Wow, what is that?', invariably pointing to the jawbreaker, which is behind the rastas, the ice...
Chris, good idea. That will be fallback plan.
As we have to cut some floring I went out and bought a tile cutter, gave a test run on a few pieces of rock and seems to work quite well.
SKIL 7" Wet Tile Saw 3540
Gonna play about with it tomorrow and see how things go.
Bob, posted at same time...
Yeah, the bandsaw was my first thought (as well as an excuse to buy a bandsaw), but max cut depth is usually 3-4". I'm looking to cut pieces at 5-6".
The box stores rent out paver cutters but will not provide a new blade.
Time to freak the clowns out.
Anyone done this?
I've got about 30 pounds of live rock currently in tank. As I'm using the tank to house zoas, I thought it would be cool to have a zennish tank of flat rocks piled up like steps with shelving for pockets of zoas.
To do this, I would have to cut...
If more south, Aqua Oceans in Tom's River always has a beautiful selection of clowns at great prices.
If you want to go the easy route I hear if you cut them in half with a razor but keep part of the mouth it will grow into two cl... mmm, was that...wait...now I'm second guessing myself.
I've always been a fan of Magdrive pumps for larger systems and Sicce pumps for smaller use. Both are slightly more expensive than the norm but both are extremely reliable, quiet, and versatile.
Also, keep an eye on the float valve ATO in that model (if equipped), they have a tendency to get...
