Yea it definitely worked great for me, it does stay in the system awhile so the refugium will be vacant for awhile lol I've tried a month later and it just melted.

Lol lucky!!! I just placed a order to see if I get lucky also lol 10oz glue and powdered strontium.

@islandVib3s - What scope did you order, and from where?   I'm starting to wonder if I need one as well.  (John's been awesome scoping samples from my tank, just thinking I may want a more Real-Time option for myself.)

Amazon. I liked this one because you can plug it in or use batteries for the light, also comes with a phone mount.

Happy Halloween! oh and dinos are here... yay lol

Might be diatoms. But if you have a microscope you'll be able to identify better. Lol I just ordered a microscope.  I think it'll be beneficial for this hobby. 

Beautiful. 

Up and running again! I did a last minute upgrade while doing waterchange. Switched to the 10ga sump instead of the 5.5...jbj door had to come off but I think its better. Did a 75%water change and added seachem prime .put in some decent tester corals. Bi color duncans, highlighter torch(morphing into gold tips) AOG zoas,mushies. Will add more in corals in a few days. Still no live stock atm,but will get some cuc,cut, also still have those damsels so they might go in.

I know this is a long shot but I thought that I would see if anyone has a carpet anemone that they would like to part with.  I've set up a tank with a harem of clownfish and I'm only going to have carpet anemones to host them.  Also, even though I visit the local stores fairly regularly let me know if you see any at your local fish store since I don't make it everywhere.  Thanks.

There's a mini maxi on reef chasers atm.

Oh wow! Yea that stuff is power, I used it when I thought  I had dinos.it was a golden type algae I still don't know. But anyways it worked and everything was gone. But after a few days of looking sparkling clear and the bottle ran out I started getting when I think was actually dinos lol. Well I've turned lights down, replace filter socks and did a black out period. Im still battling it now but its not as bad now. Hopefully you don't run into the problems I did when you finish the bottle.

I see no reason to wait it out at that stage - water change and you're ready to go. Whats the reasoning for waiting it out I wonder? 

If you have ammonia oxidization and nitrite oxidation you're set (in terms of keeping fish happy). If you'd like to be extra sure you can always add another spike of ammonia - got to 1, then make sure the ammonia and nitrite spikes go away within 24 hours. 

Well I know you want the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate to spike.but I wasn't sure if I do a water change now that I've reached a spike of nitrate. I've read that the nitrates will evap from gas exchange but wasn't sure if I could just water change it out and start adding life to it. Lol I just want confirmation im doing it right. I just dosed some ammonia last night to bring it back the ammonia and make sure its processed. Testing it later and if ammonia is gone ill do a water change. Its roughly a 30 gallon system. 28jbj and 5.5ga sump. I already put some gsp frags in last night before I re added ammonia to help lmk if things are ok for corals. Its fishless and had no corals until the gsp I added. I plan to have mostly zoas,mushies,LPS,softies in it. Thx for any input. Just want to make sure its cycled right because most of my other tanks were rushed and stocked in 24-72hrs and just used bottled bacteria. This is my first time i cycled with ammonia and waited for the spikes. 

So I've gone through all the spikes of cycling. Now its at the nitrate spike. Should I wait it out or do a water change? Lol there so much info saying do the water change and alot saying to wait it out. I just don't want to have to restart it again this time around

Alright, I will be starting the group buy. What days (Wednesday-Friday) are most suitable for you guys to pick up your livestock (so that I can set the group buy to deliver that date)? I am in Tigard, Bull mountain area, And that's where I'd likely distribute the livestock.

Just tested. Ammonia 0 ppm. Lost nitrite bottles. Nitrates 80 ppm. API test kit. Now to wait for the nitrate to break down. Woooohooooo!!! 

So I decided to re cycle my nano tank and do aquascape in the process.  I ended up overdosing pure ammonia about a week ago. Tested 2 days ago and was 8ppm.tested today and it was .5 ppm. My question is should I dose vinegar atm to help boost the bacteria? Or just ride it out till its zero? I've been dosing LRE,phyto(nanno and tetra) also I put some fritz9
