Oh it’s huge! biomedia blocks in the sump too, if I remember correctly it was just a large skimmer + biomedia?Ya our tank is 700+, we once added a blue spot and it didn’t make it, the rays we recently added are california’s i think.

unfortunately the lionfish passed awayOh it’s huge! Big biomedia blocks in the sump too, if I remember correctly it was just a big skimmer + biomedia?
is that big lion fish still in there?
If I'm in the area I'll swing by. That's an awesome setup
Good news ! ! !
Just did another 5 gallons. Its getting sparce in the tank. A little cyano is starting to pop up.you got this!!
You can handle alittle cyanoJust did another 5 gallons. Its getting sparce in the tank. A little cyano is starting to pop up.
It pops up right after dino. The waste away will finish off the dino and cyano. The part I'm not looking forward to is the gha. It's going to explode in a bitYou can handle alittle cyano
Not chemicals but bacteria. Where did you get that and we had does it doI mean...since you’re already adding chemicals, what’s one more? (Fluconazole WORKS)
You’re an exterminator, right? This is to algae what the stuff you spray bugs with is to a cockroach.Not chemicals but bacteria. Where did you get that and we had does it do
yes I am and it's wonderful to watch insects die. effects of cheato?You’re an exterminator, right? This is to algae what the stuff you spray bugs with is to a cockroach.
I ordered it, found out later that my LFS carries it too. You just take out your carbon and purigen, dose, wait two weeks, big water change, put your carbon and purigen back. Algae gone.
it’s almost like cheating, I could not believe how well it worked. I have a mixed reef, it didn’t effect my corals or fish at all. It’s the recommended treatment for bryopsis (what I had and why I dosed it) but it works on ALL algae. I didn’t have much GHA but it killed that too...stuff just turned grey and then white and died...it was glorious.
Ok that’s a LOT of GHA. Wouldn’t the vibrant also have the same effect on nutrients from dying algae if you didn’t manually remove it?Don't do a fluc treatment for GHA, I say this from personal experience. It swung my nutrients and I got cyano. Just finally got it to go away for the second time but got that feeling I'm not done battling it. I've been using small doses of vibrant. The GHA just pulls off super easy. 2 weeks ago I pulled my entire back wall of the tank off in 3 thick mats almost like carpet.
also dead, can’t run chaeto if you use this or if you use vibrant. But as why me says, you still have to manually remove the excess or nutrient swings are possible. I didn’t get any, or any cyano, but I had very little algae to begin with and just wanted to nip the bryopsis in the bud.yes I am and it's wonderful to watch insects die. effects of cheato?
I was going to ask what happens when the gha dies. It's. Got be like cheato when it dies it release a the nutrients into the water. I imagine thats why large water change is recommended.Don't do a fluc treatment for GHA, I say this from personal experience. It swung my nutrients and I got cyano.
