Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
The only problem with the stuff I have here is it’s solid pills. It’s not the capsules with the powder instead.
Mine were also, it dissolves quickly!
 
The wife is pleased.

I have some pills here that should work. I can put 4 in the tank. Turn skimmer off. Anything else I should know before doing it. Just put the dissolved pills in tank and wait it out?
 
Yea I’m sure I have some phosphate. What dip would you recommend?
Just a cipro solution. There is the kung Fu style which has cipro, amoxicillin, chemiclean, iodine but that’s probably not all obtainable as a quick remedy. Something to look into if things don’t get better.

I dissolved my in a cup of tank water and poured it in, I don’t think it matters. Make sure you take the activated carbon out as well.

I’m mixing up the pills right now. It’s very powdery

I don’t have any carbon. Only skimmer and reef mat. I should probably take the reef mat out

I don’t have a reef mat but I would believe it could stay in.
