Hello everyone!
My tank is a 80 gallon with a 13 gallon sump, its been running since March and most things have generally been going good. I started the tank up with a Maxspect R420 putting out about 220 par at the surface. My nutrition values have been pretty stable from the beginning, sitting...

Hello all, I completed the 48hrs of chemiclean treatment. I did around a 20% wc, and added carbon. I still have two airdromes running. Can I pull them out now?
I've got these algae in my 32-gallon tank that I can't seem to get rid of, see the photos below. I tried the hydrogen peroxide test where I took some of the algae out of the tank and tested it in a water/peroxide mix. It bubbled which supposedly means it is cyanobacteria not dinoflagellates. The...

So I had done the H2O2 test to see if what I has was cyano, it turned pink. I dosed 30ml peroxide 3% to my system twice a day. After one week I did not see any difference. My system is about 280-300 gallons, bare bottom, small amount of detritus in tank. Running calcium reactor, GFO, Reef...
