    thanks, anyone have cloudy water from phos beads? 2 hours after introducing them the water was murky, let it go for a week and no change. 10 hours after taking them out it was clear again?!

    the lights are great, small algae outbreak but only dust algae. Room is much cooler. Zoos and polys aren't loving them as much but they are still acclimating. Some of my rock is getting a few specks of coraline so that is good. It is slow going as we all know. Added a third power head (a nano) to stir the bottom which seems to be benefiting the fish more than anything.
