    Started my first 5ml dose yesterday. I know it’s a slow process but I’m eager to see if it works

    WTT Lunar wrasse for a different Wrasse

    Bump, anybody? He’s a nice looking wrasse. I can’t keep him in my 40 but I couldn’t let my buddy euthanize him because he didn’t want him.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    That’s what I thought I checked it two times and I cleaned out the glass vials with RODI water thinking maybe some was left over but I still got the same 80+ nitrate ppm result

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Only major thing I did was remove one rock and spray it with peroxide last weekend, but I gave it a RODI bath Other than that nothing since I was in Florida for a 1.5 weeks. I used to dose nitrates also which I also stopped doing a few weeks ago.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    My nitrates were 5 now for some reason they are off the charts at 80 plus. Don’t k let what happened. They spiked like this back in May also

    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 have a nice size lunar Wrasse 5-6” that I am looking to trade for a different type of wrasse for my 120, or any type of fish that would be compatible with a yellow tang a fox face a flame angel a bluethroat trigger or two clowns. 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...
