Is this a good idea? Soak bio media in a bacteria/saltwater solution then add to tank. Will use microbacter 7 and microbacter clean. Am going to disassemble protein skimmer tomorrow. will add soaked media after a week.
So here's the over all plan. I have a 6 gal fuge section, then will be the rubble section filled to the brim with soaked bio media
I am also going to raise mag to 1200, how to do that?
I am having problems with algae that is what the mag is for.
Am also going to send out an icp test to triton to see what is wrong with my tank.
Have been battling hair algae green and red film algae, cyano, red and green slime, and bubble algae. I also recently added 3 emerald crabs and two red legs to the refugium. I have also added a tuxedo urchin and a pencil urchin a while back. Been battling algae for about 4 months now. I am tired of it.
So I will need some opionions and guidance, below you can see my clean up crew for dt tank and filtration. If you need more info just ask.
Dt clean up crew
1 giant turbo snail
2 smaller turbo snails
1 giant top crown snail
20+ astrea snails
4 cerith snails
1 lawnmower blenny
1 1in tuxedo urchin
1 pencil urchin
1 super small red leg hermit crab
1 large blue leg hermit crab
also when the pencil urchin grows to full size should I re home it to another reefer
Thanks for the help
