well, I need to fallow my 300 due to ich that I believe came in on some acan colonies.
anyways.. my system is sps dominated DT and frag tank. about 450G total volume.
running carbon and GFO and dosing about .3ml vinegar per gallon. Also running chaeto in my fuge. Nitrates are at about 8, phos around .2. all other parameters are normal. I keep DKH around 8.2.
I have about 6 large adult fish and 18 smaller fish.. anythias,wrasses, hawk fish, etc.
So I am worried that if I keep running vinegar it will crash nitrates. And if I cut it off, it will cause a big bacteria die off.
So in addition to having to treat and QT over $2,000 in fish I have to worry about my rear chemistry.
what a great "hobby". If I ever give this up I think I am going to learn how to walk on a bed of nails.
