Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Originally they were bottoming out no more how much potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate I used. I added quite a few more fish and my nitrates slowly climbed to 25ish and have stayed there. I was feeding daily but I cut back to every other day and I don't use aminos or reef roids. All fish poo...
I had this same issue. I dosed chemicals left and right to no avail. Bought more fish can't keep nitrates down with a skimmer and a packed fuge. Forget chemicals go the natural route and you will be happy you did.
I love POTO but its the devil at the same time lol. I will be heading to Union County on Saturday will you be around if I swing by on my way back home?
As mentioned above a Dremel with a diamond blade works perfectly for this just have to get the torch to retract which is a pain. A little direct flow in the powerhead helps though then just cut below the flesh where it's skeleton only.
