From what I can tell it's the result of the carbon dosing. Think another reefer said its the something about the sugars.
I didn't notice any increase or decrease in algae growth after using the acropower.

Thanks!
Didn't do it for awhile but found my meter and replaced the corroded battery and its reading 66 TDS for my tap water.

That kind of explains the success of tap water IMO. My TDS is 250, so I don't dare try it, but I have no real idea if it will work or not. I am a big fan of Prime, used it for years in freshwater.
Funny you should said that, since I was checking out your thread and was thinking the same thing about your collection.
I wonder if you have Hard water if so then it's like a Kalk water??? Not sure if that's how it works?
Maybe worth getting the water analyze? Hmm... in SF we can get a water Q report from the city. I never did since if I did I'll never drink the water again if I knew whats in it....lol

Love the tank and you have some great pieces of Sps! I have the same passion for Sps and I also have that same redish/burgundy algae! Lol I think I've always had it but my snails keep it in check for the most part.

Don't have any coral myself but nice looking tank you got! Maybe someday when I'm older and wiser
My snails don't touch it but the tangs and hermits are all over it.
I tried a sea hare and turbo but they didn't touch it. Cant seem to get rid of it. Tried using RODI for 6 mo, no feeding, that Kent Mag trick, with no luck.
Think he'll be in the bay area again in April. Yea, got to get my frag fix. My wife teases me and say "I hope you're out meeting your girlfriend and not picking up corals"
Cmon on by if I can frag it you have have one. I like to see how they do in another tank.Nice tank, maybe some day we can trade some frags.
LOL......... big money pit.
Buy coral, grow coral ,mishap kills coral ,repeat

You're corals look great! I'm trying to figure out how to get them colored up in my tank... I use rodi, carbon, gfo, and heavy skimming. I think I'm stripping too much. I'm curious what your test results are like. What do you average for Alk, Nitrate and Phosphate?
