Everything looks wayyy better now. I cut my light cycle back to 5 hours a day for the first week, then slowly increased to 9 hours with a 4 hour ramp up and 2 hour ramp down (3 hours peak lighting) on week 2. I dosed peroxide during lights off times every 12 hours 8 ml each dose. Take GFO offline and I dosed mine in the return chamber of the sump. Continued my WC and sand vacuuming all the while.

On a side note, a bought a neon green toadstool and some purple hammer this past weekend along with 4 types of snails. Let there be LIFE!

Done. I spent like 2.5 hours reading through the thread. I want to get your assessment and your dosing amount to double check. My assessment of the H0O2 is it kills off the Po4 and No3 and starves of the algae that live on it, It seem also as one is feeding regular it does not effect the corals or fish

That is cool, the restock starts. How are the fish doing?

How is it you get such fast delivery. I'm a prime member for 4 years now and everything takes 2 days minimum

I really want to put your computer knowledge to the test. I need to find the install logs for windows 10, as programs are installed in the order they are install.

Ummm... When I go to uninstall programs through the control panel, it shows the install date and the last time the program was used
Awsome

I want to find something bright yellow to compliment the purple hammer in the right, and something blue to compliment the orange on the sand bed. I use a color wheel to figure out these things
