LOL

About the UAS... I've read from others that they only clean half of it at one time so that they constantly have a good algae growth going on. I'm sure in a matter of a few months with the UAS running that your DT will clear up of whatever is growing in it.

I'd also recommend a 3 day light outage on the DT which will help aid rid the tank of whatever it is. This will also give the UAS an advantage to pull as much out as possible.

Was considering leaving the lights out too, so I just turned them off (fish aren't gonna be happy, lol). The scrubber was modded again today to see if I can get a bit more growing. Nice turf on it already about 1/2 inches now. Going to RAP this weekend and considering a stick or two. Hopefully another WC on Friday will help. You think I should dose the seaklear while I'm running a black out or just let it be?

UAS, GFO, Lights Out, and watch your feedings. Be patient and I bet the tank clears up.

Have fun at RAP. Come back with some goodies.

Took the trip to RAP, bought myself a few sticks. Unique corals booth I purchased a rainbow poci, orange county corals of new york I purchased 2 unknown acro frags and 1 monti frag, how knows reefs I purchased my TDF I asked him to bring.

Just cause, I slow dripped the corals. From 6 pm to 11am to assure the water balance. Left my acclimate bucket and the corals in the sump overnight. Just removed all the frags and put them on the rack. No RTN and both the TDF and rainbow poci was and still in full polyp extention.

Nice. Lets see some pics of those.
Rap was a nice show. I didn't see many big pieces but if you were looking for a lot of tiny frags they had them.
