Interesting or just coincidence, PH tonight reached 8.12, up from last night about 8.00.

It always feels good to get maintenance done. I’m due for a back chamber clean out that I’ve got zero enthusiasm for.Getting the return flow back up to 250gph has started tumbling the chaeto...
Nice bonus to a few hours of cleaning and maintenance

if i only had one tank, i'd probably roll 75 between that and the 50 gallon, just for the extra water volume and little more sump space/cabinet space. I have a 200 gallon going up, and this is an office tank, so i wanted smaller.How are you still enjoying the 50 ext. I’m torn between getting the 50 or 75. I currently have a 150 that I’ll be down grading from for a little while.
My 150 is a SCA so 60x24 is my footprint. The down size is because we recently had our first child and I’m thinking/hoping to have an easier time with the tank if I were to downsize.
I don’t know what to tell you there. I’ve had Ulva and Red Ogo growing either in my tank or back chambers but neither did well and once removed there were no remnants to grow back. If what yo have survived hydrogen peroxide them maybe try some reef flux or flux rx just in that chamber of the sump and then clean it out again. I used flux rx to get rid of bryopsis and it took two treatments but but so far has not come back. It probably took out any ulva that may have been leftover as well, if there even was any hiding in the back somewhere.So ulva or some macro algae similar to it, long ulva blade like algae is growing in the refugium.
It grow faster than chaeto and clings to the sump surface. It makes a mess and i dont want it contaminating my chaeto, if i keep the chaeto.
I've removed the chaeto for now and put in a separate tank on its own to keep clean.
The refugium i giving a blackout period for while while figure out how to eliminate the pest macro.
Any ideas on getting rid of it???
When i cleaned the sump before i drain all the way and even sprayed hydrogen peroxide in the refugium... but this stuff survived.

Maybe I missed it, but where'd you get these? I've got a couple MP10s. I would love to mount them higher, but also get some downward flow. Those look ideal.
A normal dose took three weeks and there was no adverse effects to any of my corals, only the algae. So you could just choose to run a normal dose per the instructions and keep the Chaeto elsewhere for the duration, or you could just bomb that particular chamber in the sump with a massive dose and then drain it all out after an hour or so. I don’t know if that would work but I don’t see a downside of trying as long as it can be contained to that one chamber and be completely removed/cleaned. It’s reef safe at the normal dose though, just takes a while.Thanks. How long does the flux rx, etc., need to treat? Hours, days?

Buy all three angles IMO, you can have more options for flow for a discount.
