reefnjunkie Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Gotta like a new tank-Once I got the brown gunk I tossed a huge CUC in there and the next day it was spotless-needless to say many have died off as a result (I assume) of not enough food- This hobby (for me) is full of spendy lessons-I too did reefing back in the late 80's Welcome aboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
