you didnt post this enough times,

lol
jk we all make mistakes

 

[oxkisses12ox]

why dont you do a 50 % water change and turkey baster the live rock... (just a suggestion ! ) i mean you sound desperate lol jk

 

[fishyvet]

When was your last water change? What are the rest of your water parameters look like? Had anything die lately? Are you using RO/DI water for changes? Are you over feeding the tank?

 

[usmcsgt]

Posting this thread over and over isnt the way to get help

 

[Obi-dad]

Put chaetomorpha in your fuge, light with a Lights of America light (or similar). Your nitrates will go to zero.

 

[ssbreef]

water changes, and a good skimmer.
What type of water are you using? is it RO?
refugium built out of a wetdry? What do you mean?

 

[ssbreef]

Large water change.

 

[bradcliffe]

WATER CHANGES

WATER CHANGES

DO WATER CHANGES HOMIE!!!!

 

[blot60]

you forgot "f"

 

[blot60]

Oh, Hi.

 

[subcrx]

I agree, large water change, move the rock around and clean the subtrate well

 

[blot60]

But dont do a water change with a turkey baster.

 

[blot60]

Lets make this thread the one that counts. I assume (though you know what happens when I do that) that you are doing water changes. If not then now is the time to start. Also, do you have any foam or sponge in any of your equipment? If you do either clean it or toss it. Just some ideas. Good luck.

 

[archie1709]

I am surprised you aren't kicked out yet. I mean, cmon. Stop posting the same thing over and over again. Just "bump" it up, for crying out loud.

 

[blot60]

I think it was a mistake.

 

[vijaym85]

I DONT. DO YOU SEE HOW MANY TIMES IT HAPPENED? CHECK PG2 AND YOU WILL SEE LIK 10 MORE.
