You’ll get this handled. Luckily you have a small space to manage.Based on some input from @iamacat and @vetteguy53081 , I am going to be trying a new 5 day regimen. I’ll post an update pic each day (60% whites, 20% everything else so I can’t hide my shame), we will see how it goes.
You can find the 5 day plan here. I will be using a turkey baster to manually remove as much as I can and changing the floss daily. I will also be dosing Microbaktor7. Skimmer will be running and I will be doing a small w/c once as it’s been 2 weeks. Let’s hope science prevails!

I know many are suspect of the bottle bac but I have had nothing but positive outcomes. The microbacterclean was really what gave me rapid noticeable results. I found it most effective at the early stages of onset or after I manually removed as much as I could.
I still use it every couple months to refresh
I added another tid bit that has remained in my arsenal
I have very much enjoyed the KZ line of products and have used a handful. Flatworm stop, Coral Booster, Coral Vitalizer, Coral Colors, CyanoClean, and I made my own coral snow.Dang, that stuff gets great reviews. Might order a bottle tonight. All of the Zeovit product seems to get really great reviews, which scares me a little, but I trust your word.

Tropic Marin and Brightwell are the other companies I fancy. These three run my system
Lol yea that one is a lil wild to me. Calcium carbonate is cheapI was just looking at Coral Snow - $75 for a bottle here in Canada. Scared me off lol. Thanks for all the responses!
Came home today and it was much less thick than in previous days, and there was almost none on the rock work. A small improvement, but a welcome one. Going to clean again tonight and then dose Hydrogen Peroxide again.

Is it pest free? I think you’re doing great without itI have an opportunity to get some live rock from a nice established reef this weekend, if I choose.
Thoughts? Yay or nay?

I agree. As far as I know, live rock even in small quantities can be very beneficial to your reef, but it’s up to you. I’d be a little nervous to mess with the system right away after recovering from the recent outbreak. I think if I started over I’d pay the extra and go all live ocean rock for sure.Is it pest free?

Yes, the reefers on here I regular talk to highly recommend the Tampa bay live rock. It’s $6 a pound for base rock but I assume the shipping is going to be pricey. It depends on how important it is to you and how much you want to spend.I am setting up a 25 Lagoon in the next few weeks, and I would agree with you whole heartedly! The problem is that no one around here seems to carry actual live rock, except 2 sketchy places with not so healthy systems, and one online store which charges 160% the regular going price.
Will cross that bridge when I get there.
Sadly they don't ship up here to CanadaYes, the reefers on here I regular talk to highly recommend the Tampa bay live rock. It’s $6 a pound for base rock but I assume the shipping is going to be pricey. It depends on how important it is to you and how much you want to spend.
