take it offline for a bit, guarantee nothing bad will happen. I run 93g cube with 100g sump, only chaeto, with PAR38 red leds. <<<<thats key to get it to grow fast enough to suck up nutrients. wc every two weeks as well. No build thread for me.

Of course bubble king is top notch. But very expensive. I really like my reef octopus elite 200. I think it's a great skimmer for the price. In fact I doubt I would seer better skimming from the BK or vertex. Maybe just a more overbuilt build quality.

Been offered a vertex 130 for a good price, might be the way forward.

The picture below is taken from another thread where Rog said this:

For some reason every stick that goes into my tank will eventually turn green. I run no GFO, no Carbon, no Skimmer, only live rock. 90 cube with rubbermaid sump. We were moving so there were no water changes for about 4 months. Don't have problems with the actual growth of sps, that seems like its not an issue. I keep seeing Iron, but GFO was removed probably 7-8 months ago. I just picked up a pink milli colony and im sure it will eventually turn green. I run two Hydras over the tank.

Gotta love internet advice
