When I did the Blackout I didn't feed or dose anything. I purchased a bunch of Turbo snails, and they cleaned everything up over the course of a few weeks. I believe this growth is mostly new tank syn. Watch how big the snails grow.I'm assuming that there should be no feeding the tank while it's blacked out.
Would I continue to dose NOPOX, alk, calcium and H2O2?
If anyone can speak to that I'd like to know. This is my first ever blackout....

You'll have a great time! You might check with a dive shop there and see if they offer any intro dives. No experience needed, 2 hrs of class time then an hour in the water. That's how my wife & I got started diving in Hawaii about 20 yrs ago!
Wow! I dive, and never herd of anyone " Ralph' in " underwater, that usually happens on the way back!Our friends from Germany wanted to dive, too. And I'm all about it as well. But my wife's friend says apropos of nothing, "They make the scuba masks so that you can throw up no problem." Like either of us knew that throwing up underwater was an issue or even a thing. Then she goes on to tell a story about getting seasick underwater and having that problem. So, based on one person's limited experience my wife doesn't want to do it now

Sorry, Double WOW!
Now I can bring friend fishing and diving to catch fish by chumming up the water!
Remember this: Bring cheese wiz to your dive, and stay up current when you squirt your cheese, then watch and take pictures. All the reef fish will be inches away. Your left with no scent, very important.
We always grab extra bags of Cheerios and feed with those. You'll be covered with fish.Cheez-wiz? No joke? That is crazy! Technically the Canary Islands are in Europe, so I may have to settle for Nutella, hahaha....

I'm basically just waiting on @Willz ( )to get some par readings from his Reefbrites so I'll know if it's worth changing out the t12s for them if they are close to the same par but less heat.
How much light are you giving this frag tank right now? (Peak. Either lux or PAR would be fine units to measure in IMO, in case you have no PAR meter.)
Hey, I went back and was looking at some of the older posts. The ReefBrites are 12" above the water, the water is 16" deep, and the PAR from only the RB's is ~20 on the bottom of the tank.
I still haven't made up my mind if I want to change them out or not. My tank is almost twice that deep though so I would probably have to go with the xhos instead of the techs it looks like. Thanks bud for checking that out for me.
@justingraham has some of the XHOs for sale. I have heard the XHOs are more for actually growing corals, while the Tech lamps are just for making them "pop" or I guess maybe really shallow tanks.
Heading to Tenerife for two weeks
Tenerife for the Holidays:
