Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
No mine is pretty much gone for now but it will come back .after a year of taking rocks out and cleaning the glass I just wish I good get rid of it . Can I add it to the water and would that work .
I have never dosed it straight in the water column.
I have spot squirted h202 with a syringe both in and out of water.
Out of water works better.
I've also saturated a filter pad with h202 and cleaned the glass with it.
I'm sure when I did that it went into the water too.
If you make kalk paste just thick enough to leave the syringe when you use it you can coat the rock and just leave it on, it'll suffocate whatever you put it on.
Don't get it on the corals it'll burn.
Just an idea.

Thank you 😊
 
Thank you guys
No worries CB.
I just want you to make sure you're using the right thing the first time, if there is one.

Thanks a lot . I appreciate that . I’ll start with hydrogen peroxide first and if that doesn’t work I go with that paste . I’ve just heard good and bad stories about Chemiclean .

Me too.
I've never used it and won't.
Better safe than sorry. 😊
 
I’ve dosed it directly to the tank with no detrimental effects, but again it was for algae.
Thanks again . I will try to start tomorrow morning when I’m home to make sure everything is good . How long did you do it for ?
