Okay, I confess I really don't know where to put this thread. My wife and I are fairly successful reef builders; there is still a long way to go,...
Is there any chance of getting the substitute NFL refs to play NHL hockey instead?
You know you're old when you're staring at the yellow duckie print pants at Brooks Brothers... with reverence.
GFO isn't proprietary stuff. It's well understood and removes silicates. The reason there remain silicates in the water is related to the chemistry...
While I may not describe it that way, I do tend to pick the prettiest fish. I'll ask my wife, but I doubt she would describe me as much of a trophy.
I haven't studied the reaction, so I don't know about the order. I do suggest you put fresh GFO in before lauching a lime water assault.
No, no. That was a joke. Given the size of the tank, I assumed there were no tangs. If the assumption was wrong, he would have way more problems...
Google silicate remover. Both GFO and Phosguard do it ver effectively.
Approximately none. If you really like it, throw about a cup in a good bag and stick it in your overflow... If you have tangs in a 20 reef, you have...
All the other stuff is some variant on a bactericide. It will kill it, but it doesn't solve the problem. Use Dr. Tim's. It's a combination of...
Try Dr. Tim's combination refresh and waste away regimen in the amounts he recommends. Not knowing how much flow ou have, I won't comment except to...
Everything Dingo said, plus check out Dr. Tim's recommendation for slime algae. The stuff works well. Also, more flow!
That all said, I'd continue to be very cautious. Tis is a close call and there is a chance it's not diatoms.
Yep, we nearly tore down my wife's tank trying to fight dino when it was actually diatoms. When it's diatoms, you do a 3 day lights out and as soon...
Having fought Dino for months, I gotta say if its not coming back given what you've done, it wasn't Dino. That is great news. The lights won't...
I am not aware of anyone recommending carbon. I am also not aware of any significant reason it would be harmful. If you don't currently have it on...
People on these forums have a wide and diverse range of interests and experiences including in a range of sciences. It is never wise to assume too...
Just to reiterrate, the advice everyone is giving here is great. Give things a couple more days and if there is not a noticable reduction, go to...
I take it it is having no effect? Its not always easy telling dino from diatoms. My wife had an outbreak we were sure was bad news (I had an...
I'm just curious. Are you running phosphate media like GFO?
