I'm loving it so much I got another idea brewing. However, I need to learn how to make a cast mold first. Then I can make rock like you did in the mold. Then I can use your method of making the rock I'm planning. That's all I can say for now. :tape2:

Thanks guys! Chris was so really sweet to give these to me and not only will I take good care of them but I will PIF to someone else as they get some size to them
Heath my tank tends to be TOO clean. But right now it's going through semi-new tank syndrome. My new live rock has mixed algae types on it and coraline speckling all over them. My SB almost has the look of old light syndrome and glass was getting algae film that after wiping it would be back in an hour. So, today is day 7 of vodka dosing. I have a sock on my skimmer output and one big one covering both drains. Then there is a bubble trapping sponge before the return. So there is 0 mirco bubbles. Now the algae on the glass is taking 2 days before needing to cleaned and the rest is begining to lessen. There is a way to check what your haziness is from if it's micro bubbles get a magnifying glass and a flashlight. If they seem to sparkler it's micro bubbles. The other is go get a medium bottle of api stress zyme and put it in the tank. Ignore the instructions. If it's crystal clear in 24 hrs you didn't have enough good bacteria.

It's not micro bubbles. It's been like this almost the whole time. Figured it might be the sand just still getting kicked around a tiny bit. I'm not as crazy with tank cleanliness as you are. I only run a sock for 3 days a week. I still have near 0 trates and po 4. My skimmer is 2 + x bigger rated than my tank.

Get a medium size bottle of api stress zyme and try that and see if it clears it.
Answered your pm. Hope it helps.

Ok. I will right now Joe
Yes I have some Heath. But just try that. It worked for me every time mine clouded and MB7 didn't.

I use mb7 when I run bio pellets. But it's slow to start. Great stuff. But there is something about the api stress zyme that clears the water fast. If you're lacking a certain bacteria it can cloud and it seems this fixes it. - IF that's the problem. If not, it won't hurt.

I never have but it wouldn't hurt. I'm thinking of putting my skimmer on only when the fuge light comes on. I hear it's better for the sps. No telling if it is or not though...
