@billyocean since you have yourself put together on tanks.. I bought the dedicated pump for the UV sterilizer. For pump placement for Dinos, where would you put the UV pump, sump or in the corner of the DT? Also for flex tubing, I saw BRS had it, but figured that Home Depot probably has the same exact stuff for cheaper, is there a flex tubing that is reef safe that you know of?

Read that, but I dont think itll resolve without the UV at this point. I held out, and for a good month the Dino's made zero progress, but they exploded recently. I'm not sure why beyond thinking that I had done a heavy cleaning (which I read is a no-no). Nothing new to the tank, nothing new dosed, everything is stable Alk is perfect... Not reading 0 phos or 0 nit.

New lights probably only helped it along as well.

Did you add pods and phyto?

 

[Special K]

Found water in my basement last night pulled the floor up and took some drywall down to find the leak. Gonna be an expensive fix is think as its the pipe going through my foundation and outside leaking.

Did you add pods and phyto?

Yes sir. I did, and bacteria for a bit too. Remember my dumb @ dropped a full bottle of live phyto in the tank and was green for a day and a half... actually being fair ive done a lot of dumb stuff so far so I could understand why you'd forget

Will Pods eat Dinos?

So the algae problem that I thought was just a regular algae that we see in reef tanks and kinda just stays there is actually dinos. I didn't realize it until yesterday! My entire back glass is covered in a pretty thick layer of dinos and one of the side glasses. I read that adding copepods to...
