Well my tank has been running 19 months now.been through some ups and downs,and I think finally the tank is going to take off lost some corals ,changed skimmers.had some issues with lights,and tried the biocubes.

big improvement on the nitrate reduction when I tried bio cubes they brought nitrates down to 2ppm which is where I like to run my nitrates.
after bringin down nitrates in may I then got cyno.
so I decided no more carbon dosin for me.went back to the old methods,brought out me old trusted special blend by microblift ,cyno is gone tank is rockin again.
oh and I also added a WP40 ,I tell ya this powerhead really does make waves.

took a few shots for your viewing.

Great Tank!! She's a beauty!! So I saw your up to 15ml of vinegar.. Could be a dumb question but what are you doing with that?

 

[swissgaurd]

thankyou.
I have stopped vinegar dosing,wasnt dropping my nitrates below 50ppm,then tried bio-cubes brought my nitrates down to 2 ppm,i have stopped the cubes when I reached 2ppm .

personally carbon dosing and my tanks just don't work for me,
