Hopefully so. I have been trying, but ultimately, I need to get all this leaching phosphate out or it will return.
I anticipated it. At this point, I'm fine with it. I think it has been going through one anyways. I keep going in and out of bacterial blooms. Coral...
Could be. It branches, but its not feathery. Either way, I did a number on it for sure. Just finished bleaching the equipment.
I took out every rock and used a syringe to coat and soak in peroxide. I used a tooth brush to scrub the rocks, cleaned in RO, and replaced them in...
It is all bryopsis, BTW.
It's nuts. I've taken most of the algae out 4-5 times now, just for it to grow back. I don't have chaeto, but I just set up an algae scrubber....
I can't believe the amount of phosphate that is creeping out from wherever the heck it is creeping from. I'm still sitting at 0.14 ppm after using...
Can keep a sponge in your display and transfer it to the QT. May help a bit.
Look forward to seeing progress. I like the idea of the dispkay refugium.

Test Edit: no error
No problem. It should help prevent unneeded replacement of filters, membranes and resin.

Did you splice the TDS meter onto the RODI? Any reason why u put it on the input.
I keep my at 1.026 or 35 ppt. I see you just set up your new tank. The transfer to a new tank may be a reason also.
Prices have been what they are since I entered the hobby 5 years ago. The only outrageous prices I see are from corals with lineages, and that's easy...
Consider yourself lucky. But no, just time and regular maintenance.
