00W's AIO Smorgasbord

Luis,

You need to be very careful with Phosphat-E. I have used it a few times but it is very powerful stuff. Lanthanum Chloride. When I have used it I put 1ml on the filter pad in the overflow once a week. I put it on the pad to be sure the Phosphat-E never makes it to the display. It is slow to bring down the Phosphate but it is really just a supplement to Rowa-Phos or ChemiPure Elite/ChemiPure Blue, GFO, etc. I would stop using it for now and see if things improve. Good luck.

Thanks Tom, from the readings I did I put it in the skimmer cup in the sump, after the second time I dosed I stopped doing it because that's when the favias started to look bad.

I'm thinking micro algea and maybe some easy small coral like zoas or small softies which is why I wanted the rock from the lfs. Then I have a pompom crab in my acclimation box in the 125 that I will move to it when I know it's safe. Other than that I'm thinking maybe a sexy shrimp or other shrimp that stays small and a cuc of course. I have an extra HOB filter I will use for flow and filtration. And I have a light but it isn't for reef tanks I could move the reef led 50 to it but I'm not sure if it would be too strong. I am open to suggestions of course on setup and inhabitants.

A couple rfas to host the sexy shrimp.

Very interesting! I will go buy some polyfill and give it a shot! Did you place it in a high flow and high light area?

Like Tim said, it can be filter floss, or polyfil (like stuffing for stuffed animals) . I put it on the opposite side of my tank from the powerhead, so the powerhead would blow the cells into the floss. It was also at the the very top of the tank. Just wash it out once or twice a day, and make one of those right before lights go out. Do you know what type of dinos you have? It works best with the types that leave the rocks and go into the water column at night. If you don't have that type, then you have to turkey baste the rocks to get some to make its way to the floss.
