I don't know exactly where you actually live. When I was in Europe a couple years ago it was difficult for me to find fish stores.
Thanks for following along. I'm looking forward to using reef actif because of you. I hope it can help me match your coral's looks. I've stared at your scape for a long time. It's helped me decide where to place different corals.

This is likely to be bacterial bloom. I would increase water flow as you suggested and perhaps point your pumps (if you have such pumps) towards the water surface to increase gaseous exchange. Furthermore, using activated carbon will help remove bacteria as they will be attracted to carbon surfaces. Finally, skim wet. Once the nitrogen cycle stabilises water should clear.

That's true. All I ended up doing was pointing a sea swirl at the surface for more agitation.
You also dose bio digest right? When you started did you notice a up swing in skimmate production?

I figured since your new tank was connected to an established system, a mini cycle wasn't a huge possibility...
I used biodigest when I began prodibio. I used Bioptim and biodigest but I didn't really see a significant change in skimmate. When I ran out, I stopped the biodigest but continued with Bioptim and added reef booster.
I just use AF pro bio S because I have it on hand.

have you started dosing the reef activ? If so, how much are you dosing?
Also are you dosing anything else currently?

That was a Lubbock wrasse. It had an especially nice coloration. Did you catch the past tense? I found it on the floor dead when I got home yesterday. I found a flaw in the canopy in that it has an opening along the edges of the tank. I'm fitting some plastic tonight so that it doesn't happen again.Looking good Brandon, i like your little cardinals mate
I want to get heaps more small fish like those and the small chromis which give the reef a busy look. What is that yellow tail spotty topped wrasse looking fish mate, that looks cool. [emoji106]

Yes. I had planned to start with a spoonful 3 times a week. That is under half the recommended dose for my system. I'll make the call tonight if I'm going to continue down that path. There is a thread with some of us users documenting it.
I am still carbon dosing with vinegar.( trying to drive nitrates lower.) I also dose 2 drops of aquaforest vitamins a day and 2 drops of their fish vitamins soaked into the food every other day. That's it besides the calcium reactor.
