    Free Red Cap - Point Pleasant

    Thanks again for everything Thanks for the help with some of my issues. Think I’m gonna give the All for Reef powder a shot. Based off of the calculations the 800g container dosing the minimum of 25ml should last me 16 months.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    I’ve been dosing 5 ml for 1 week. Not much increase in skimmate yet, but I dosed very conservatively based off of the recommendation of NOPox. I Should be dosing 3 ml per 25 based on my nitrate reading. I figured I would start with 1ml. I think I should be ok if I bump up to 2 per 25. I will run...

    I need a bigger tank

    Wow I’m jealous only a year and your tank looks great. Makes me question myself as to what am I doing wrong.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    So I just picked up a Hanna nitrate checker and tested my water. 75 was the blinking number I got which indicates out of range so I still have high nitrates. I don’t know what is going on with my nitrate issue considering I’m also running a fuge with Chaeto. I upped my carbon dosing to 10 ml a...

    Best instant ocean sea salt price

    I’ve noticed this with alot of their products. Oops not Petsmart but Petco. I always check online because most of the time it’s way cheaper and they match it. Unfortunately it doesn’t work with fish though

    On-Going Alk Doser problem

    You can try to plumb your ATO in with it this way anytime your ATO kicks on it will flush the end of the line to prevent the buildup.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Ok was looking at wrong post. Yes mine does look like that but like I said a little more on the brown side. Not nearly as bad as you have it but like you said nothing works on it. I have resorted to scrubbing and siphoning. I also took one of the rocks out and sprayed with peroxide. That did the...

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Yours looks like it could be Dino’s. What I did to best that was 3 day blackouts and leave the tank as dirty as possible to outcompete the Dino’s. Took me about 2 months to beat

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    I’m not home right now when I get home I will check my phosphates. If my phosphates are still in the .12 area do I still need to dose phosphates. I am aiming for .03/.04. I also think my phosphates readings could be false since I have an algae issue I am dealing with that could be consuming my...

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    I don’t wanna keep dumping different chemicals in to take care of the issue I’m just gonna go slow and continue My carbon dosing. I went against my better judgment and dosed fluconazole and I don’t know if that had any effect on my tank but it didn’t kill the Lyngba. So now I’m just going to...

    Leopard wrasse

    That stinks. Just do what I did if your close to the ocean. Drive to a nearby jetty and grab clumps of sea lettuce off of the rocks. Within those clumps you will have thousands of pods.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    I am also now carbon dosing since my nitrates are off the charts high and my phosphates are elevated. Not sure if that has anything to do with this Lyngba.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Ugh. I hate it! Same as you I have tried several things but it’s still there. Nobody touches it. The only luck I had so far was removing the one rock and giving it a peroxide bath, but I refuse to tear the tank down to clean every rock. I hear once it starts dying the CUC will devour it. I...
