    I'll keep you posted. I have got to get the nems to let go of the rocks first.

    Substitute for RODI?

    Thanks Erin!

    Substitute for RODI?

    I don’t have enough water pressure to make more RODI. Any advice?

    Purit bag directly in QT???

    I agree that it is an outstanding product. It has worked wonders in my display tank. I put a bag in my sump and it works circles around plain carbon.

    Purit bag directly in QT???

    I will look into the Amquel. I have been doing water changes and it has helped lower it. I have been a little worried about taking out too much and causing it to cycle again. Thanks. This is really my first attempt at doing a QT for 30 days. I'm scared to death of ammonia, but the fish all...

    Purit bag directly in QT???

    I’m fighting a little bit of ammonia in my 15 gallon QT. Very basic setup with HOB filter. Would it hurt to hang a bag of purit directly in the tank? Water changes are moving it in the right direction, but I’m worried it’s not fast enough. I would also like it as a safety net

    Purit media

    Absolutely! I still have a little bit of hair algae on some rocks, but the junk on my sand is vastly improved

    Clownfish aggression?

    Thanks for the advice. I will go with one clown, and hold my breath.

    Clownfish aggression?

    I have a 75g that currently has one clown, one flameback angel, and one chromis. I have lost a few fish over the last year or so, for a variety of reasons, and would like to add some now. I am wondering if adding a couple of small clownfish would create problems with the existing clown. He is...

    Purit media

    UPDATE . The Purit media has been in a bag in the sump for almost 3 weeks. There is a noticeable difference in the amount of diatoms/algae on the sand. It is not completely gone, but it is probably at 25-30% of what it was prior to adding the Purit. I'm really wishing I had taken some...

    Purit media

    Test kit arrived today. Water from display shows less than 1. Looks like it is between 0.25 and 0.50. I tested RODI water and it is 0.03. Those numbers are pretty good I think, which is disappointing because that means i still don’t know what’s causing my diatoms/algae I put the bag of purit...

    Purit media

    My situation sounds similar. I have never been able to keep favia or acans alive. The other coral seems ok, and I even have some sps that is doing pretty good. My main stressor is the diatoms/brown algae on the sand. It makes the tank look filthy, although all the parameters are good...

    Purit media

    I'm not going to put it in until my test kit arrives. Once I can test the water, I am going to put a bag of Purit in next to a bag of carbon. I will report back any results.

    Purit media

    I recently ordered some Purit in hopes of reducing silicates in my reef tank. Every other parameter is good, and I continue to have diatoms/brown algae. Silicates are about the only other thing I know that could cause the diatoms/algae. I also ordered a Silicate test kit, but it has yet to...

    Goby has been MIA for over a month

    Happy Friday. I have not seen my goby in over a month. I thought he may have died, and began testing for ammonia and nitrite regularly. Nothing showing on those tests, and nitrates have remained at 2 throughout. Any thoughts?

    Need some help with algae

    No stringy bubbles. Just clumps of red and green on the sand. One or two places on the rocks have a green mat that will come off easily with baster. I ordered some chemi clean last night. My water changes seem to help, but only for a few days, and then its right back. The last WC before...

    Need some help with algae

    I took a picture at lunch. Here is what I fight. I did a 15g WC every 2 weeks
