Thank you to all the club members who organized this event. John, Thank you for sharing all that knowledge with us; was great meeting you.

I picked up a Phosphate test kit today, API, should have bought another brand as it goes 0, 0.25 etc. Anyway, tested the RODI and no color change in the water, same with the distilled water. I tested the DT water and there was barely a color change. If I hold the vial against the card it is...

I will try and get a video of how dirty it is. If the distilled water test 0 for phosphates I will do a 15g water change sucking water from the bottom, cleaning the sand. If some sand gets sucked up, oh well. Using the distilled will allow me to do a WC quicker.

Rich, Thanks for the info. Yes, I did post about the Bayer in the past. I also, don't have tools to frag and agree with AJ I have a water quality issue so Taz is getting it. I still says it the sand and all the dirt stuck in there over 5 years. I will try and get a video of how dirty it is. If...

Steve, I just realized this and don't siphon from the bottom of the tank because it always sucked up much sand. Which is why I asked if I should stir up the sand. I could just siphon out the sand at each water change and go some what bare bottom. I would need to figure out something for the...

I have posted a few times now my hair algae problems. Tonight I scraped all the HA off the overflow and back glass in preparation of the inerts I m getting tomorrow. I kept the pump by the overflow off and the other side on to get as much loose HA and crap through the filter sock and into the...

No clue Tony. From your comment I assume the scroll is toast. If I had to guess would say Nitrates or Phosphates, maybe both. I did test my top off water and 0 Nitrates. I will get a Phosphate test kit tomorrow.

Here is a pic of the scroll. I keep blowing cyano off it but can't control it. Even moved it someplace else but no good. I am not sure if its even alive at this point. I also have this brain coral that is receding. Taz, if you want one or both let me know. Scroll Brain

Taz, I think he hit the max limit.....:cold: Happy Birthday Paul.

I was going to try liquid nails...LOL Anyway another head is off today. Both clown fish are trying to host the frogspawn. I had a small nem but its now MIA, probably hiding from the clowns. I may have to get another nem this weekend. I will try to attach the heads to some frag plugs. In case...

I got a yellow scroll coral from Tom, Tgee, but it is not doing well. I will post a pic tomorrow and someone that can properly care for it can have it for free. It is not first reply first gets it; I will decide who it goes to. I can bring this to Saturday's meeting. Mark

I saw one of the clown fish swimming through some heads toniht. Maybe they are trying to host and irritated it. I dip the corals in Revive.

I noticed that my 4 head frogspawn had ab entire head missing this morning. I found it on the sand and its all extended and looks fine. Why did it drop the head and how do I re-attach it to anything? Thanks Mark

I will bring 2 frags: 1 - Tan finger leather 1 - Green finger leather

Watching this thread as maybe I can learn something too. I have a 160g preformed pond that I can never keep clean.

Happy Belated Birthday.

Your setup is new and not unusual or algae outbreaks. The use of tap water did contribute and you may need to perform more larger RODI water changes. If you look on Reef Central or Reef Keeping you will find many people have had bad Cyano outbreak dosing vodka. I would switch to vinegar as it...
