    From what I understand with this method I won't need to remove anything from my tank. It will only attack some soft corals and leave inverts (pods, worms, shrimp and snails) alone.

    Alright, tomorrow starts a new chapter in my tank.

    I will start using Warner Marine 2part solution. Also I will go back to using PhosBan media, I went with GFO a few weeks ago and I can't seem to get that to work.

    I now have browning corals and GHA growing on the glass!

    Iv been very busy with Wedding, Car buying/fixing/selling and work my tank really lost some luster.

    I plan to stable the tank, lower p04 and start finally killing cloves.

    You probably mean 'stabilize' the tank. Anyway let see some gross pictures!!!! All I've ever seen is beautiful coral.

    Have you tried a short, concentrated blast of potent Kalwasser directly on the cloves?
    Using a syringe, you could even put a needle on it and inject it directly into it.

    Next time you're over at Norgs, maybe you and NOrg can stop by for an adult beverage and pay 'Bozo' (Large maroon clown) a visit?
