It’s been a while so I thought I would update the thread. I started battling dinos a couple months ago. At first it was not so bad and I was able to control it by dosing hydrogen peroxide. It was controlled but certainly did not go away. About a month ago it really started to really take off so...

Interested. Photosynthetic? What city are you in? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use the Eheim one. Its been reliable but not a piece of equipment I particularly like. Its reliable but pretty bulky but gets the job done. The mount can be used on a euro-braced tank but really stands out like a sore thumb IMO.

Clams in good shape - just closed up when I turned on my whites to take the pic :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the inside of my overflow box. 7–10” stringy. Will get some additional photos tonight. Either way, I’ve clearly got a phosphate issue I need to address. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Updated pics of the dinos Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do and I have about 2”. Although I love the look, I regret it more and more everyday. I’ve always used sand and view my tank as something the entire family should enjoy, which is why I lean towards sand (I think the family appreciates the look of the sand within the ecosystem). But even with 3...

That’s not the onllllllly reason :). But I do have a nitrate issue that I need to address :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All new sand and rock. I cycled the tank for about 5 weeks. I have an auto feeder that feeds pellets once a day and also a cube of mysis or LRS with pumps on. Once or twice a week I feed reef roids with pumps off. It’s a 4’x24”x16” tank with an MP40, MP10 and Jebao towards the back of the tank...

I will use the nopox because 1) I’ve already ordered and it 2) I am also battling a nitrate issue. Going to use the phosphate remover first since it sounds like the consensus is that it’s the bigger issue that should be addressed first? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone! Going to try and avoid adding anymore equipment to the tank and try the phosphate remover first. Once I get it down, will switch over to the nopox to help with the nitrate issue as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Bruce! Will order some of the Brightwell phosphate remover now. But wouldn’t the nopox do the same thing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s dark brown and stringy. But yes, you are right - I can’t be 100% sure without looking under a microscope so that is prob a next step. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I haven’t looked at it under a microscope yet but I am 100% sure it’s not cyano and 99.9% sure it’s dinos. I can get a closer pic later today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Everyone: Getting pretty frustrated with the tank and hoping to get some help with assessing a number of various issues with my tank. The tank was set up in the beginning of November and was a transfer of a tank that was up for about a year. It’s a 80 gallon with a sand bed, LR, running...
