Hi Tom , I was looking for a way to do it naturally but not with Cheato .
A fuge is the best non-chemical method I know of but I don't care for chaeto. I prefer Red Gracilaria or Pom-Pom for a fuge.
 
Good Evening

Well, I do need a future home for my Battle Box corals! And another clam. And maybe a squareback anthias
I can make a home for them 🤣🤣
 
Since George did pass away I could name them all George!
Just like George Foreman who named all his kids , like 16 , George?
How about name them Bobby?
 
That's a no brainer then! 🤣
What ever are you saying John? 🤪

I was using lanthium until I added the hippo tang in the clinics tank. Trying GFO but might need a larger pump for the reactor.

Their phosphates are high. I might try one of these next
 
morning everyone!

I guess I am old now...i threw out my back at the ripe age of 35..and still have 30ft of fence i need to put up
Good morning Mike, I hope you feel better!
