@Eagle_Steve said my best bet would be chemiclean, but I came across this from BRS..

Found some people that did this using a 4:1 ratio and it worked. You dip , then brush of algae. Tomorrow going to try it on a “guinea
pig” coral and see what happens. Haven’t decided which will be the guinea pig yet..if it doesn’t work, I’ll have to do the chemiclean
H2o2 will work as a quick dip also, but some things will be ticked off.

So, hehe, I KINDA did something... good!

@elorablue will be happy to know, that I removed a TON of that nasty GHA! It was bugging me WAY too much, and I couldn't just leave it for a week.

Also did a top off and glass scrub.

---

Last FTS will be tomorrow!!

I'm gonna really miss you guys this week. I leave tomorrow and don't get back until Saturday.

Well done dude!
I hope you don't think I was telling you what to do, I just knew you'd be happier if you cleaned it up!

I'm beginning to think doing a full mixed reef in a 20g cube is going to be tricky. Flow is the main issue I'm seeing.
I think I need to focus more and stick to one kind or the other. Sometimes ya cant have it all.
Anyone have any advice for a small mixed reef?
That's part of the issue I ran into with my tiny tank, decided to keep the mix to the cade and make the lifegard more softy geared.

Exactly. I've already got all the softies I actually like the look of, gorgs, gsp, Xenia, neon tip toadstool ,Ricordea and 1 I don't like..the devils hand leather. After getting my first two Euphyllia last week, a hammer and a frogspawn I've realised how much I like them! That may be my focus for this tank. Mushrooms and Euphyllia.

I just have 1 Nero 3 which should be plenty for a this tank but to get enough flow on the sps up top, other areas of the tank have dead zones. It seems silly to need another powerhead for a tank this size but if I continue how I'm going I may need one. however if I switch my focus to mushies and Euphyllia I could definitely get by with just the one.

I currently have a powerhead running in my 4 gallon pico because of the sticks, today's plan is to move them all over to the big tank so I can see about pulling that out or at least turning it down. Talk about silly....

Sounds like a really good plan! And it's a silly hobby sometimes LOL

Honestly, I think I'm just beginning the rationalisation process to get another tank ;Facepalm
