FAIL, FAIL, FAIL!

48 hours after adding Rox Carbon, the ALGAE starting turning GREEN, OMG! ARE YOU KIDDING? With a few exceptions......for like 2 months every single day the algae has either looked dead, distressed, or stable in distressed mode, or worse!




I WAS DONE! That's it! Today I went and bought 2 1/2 gallons of H2O2, prepared some saltwater, got some sand, bought some glue, got a bunch of tubs of Tupperware, buckets, etc.......AND ATTACKED!

I took the remaining 40% of the live rock that is encrusted with colonies of SPS, Zoa, Blue Clove.....just all kinds of living stuff, pulled it out and TREATED outside the tank.

I poured, sprayed, dripped, and used some precision syringes to limit the contact with live coral. I replaced a bunch of sugar-fine sand while I was there!

4-5 hours later, all complete & cleaned up....well worth the stress relief from that other crap not working 100%!



too cloudy for pics! and too much time with tank, lol
