lol i wanna get macros ugh but i gotta kill this damn gha.. how long does it take joel? protein skimmer routine water changes, algae blenny, crew from johny.. the ONLY thing i dont have is a GFO reactor and that might be next

 

 

NO reactor needed. DO you have a place to stick a bag of Purgen? Just do that, change it every 4 weeks, WC and manual removal. OH and CUC.

I just kinda popped in here.

 

 

Joel is sending some of his Macro algae to me and I am planning on returning the favor, was just trying to get a good idea of how many I should get so I could share.

have a 20L sump - and i think a reactor + gfo is far cheaper than trying to replace purigen every few weeks :)

What's your water source? Have you tested it before going into the tank? It took about a month and a half in both the 20 and the 40 to get rid of it. If you get macro they will out compete the GHA.

 

I was planning on 10 for me, and buying 30 total. He is local and I would only have to drive a bit to get them. As they are plants I bet 2nd day would be fine as well.

 

I will let you know when the plants are headed your way!

 

OMG I'm so essited! When I'm getting my macro/mangroves I will have to pause coral buys but man I am happy to do it so I have the filtration! I hope the macros will fill in the area between the roots and just look like jungle.

I need to figure out where I'll put 20 mangroves :o

 

I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

Randi has a wicked sick connection for mangroves, I'm sending her free macro and she's going to hit me back B) exactly how reefing should be.

spectrapure RODI 90gpd, have ran this FOREVER I have the sump reactor going and produce tons of GHA.. its just insane why the HELL i still have gha after a year of battling this crap.. I cannot imagine my rocks being that infested with phosphates,

 

I test my water 0 tds out the RODI machine, 0 Phosphates prior to mixing etc etc.. I swear i dont understand why this hobby wants me to have such lovely and colorful GHA

 

I did have a problem of lights on way to long, now i run ~11 hours of light - give or take a little bit its on a timer.. but sometimes i do tank maint early and turn it all on
