I haven't been thrilled with my tank for a while. My corals don't seem to grow, just limp along for 4-6 months then die.

Hi guys!
A couple months ago I set up a 75 gallon reef in which I used a few rocks from the previous system to add to the new display. I must have brought bryopsis to the new tank with the old rock. Today, my tank has quite a few patches of bryopsis on the sand bed and rock. I have been dosing...
