Sick of this GHA

I picked up an urchin yesterday and we'll see how it does.

Meanwhile, what else can I do besides more frequent water changes and the macro in my fuge? I also have a phosban reactor with biopellets running. I don't have too many pellets because the instructions said to start off light and add more later. It's time to add more.

Here's a sample of how this stuff has gotten into all the crevices.

Have you considered running some GFO? Carbon dosing (bio pellets, vodka, vinegar, etc...)does a really awesome job at keeping nitrates down but needs a little help with the phosphates. I only run about a cup on my 225 and change it about once a month, so it doesn't take much when teamed up with your biopellets.

Maybe it just sounds a little more advanced than what it really is, but all that just seems complicated. I'm sure it's not any harder than running the reactor with bio pellets. I just need to do some research on it.

Has anyone here had success with an algae scrubber?



Now it's starting to become an obsession....

I would get one of the Two Little Fishies phosban reactors and run GFO. It is not complicated to use. Pour the GFO into the reactor, add a small power head and put it into your sump. GFO works wonders. I'd also go over to SEA and pick up a good cleaner crew. Reefs2go.com has also been advertising some great cleaner crews on sale.

I have the two little fishies reactor running biopellets. I think I will order GFO and try that instead.

I have about 30 hermits and several snails ( can't keep turbos for too long ), two blennies, a foxface.

Which brand of GFO has better results?

I've had great luck with:
