Ok, looks like I'll be re-arranging some. Thx for the replies.

I'm afriad I'd just have to skinny-dip... Very nice. Gives me reason to re-do my RSM.

I'm curious if anyone is/ has kept a BTA in thier RSM long term... successfully without major mods to thier lighting?

changed my mind

HA on back glass Cyano on rock Full Tank Shot Side Shot Fuge section of 75g Sump/fuge (over ran with pods) Sorry about the picture quality (Iphone) I hope seeing these might help.

The RedSea Max is a great tank. However the stock filtration is less than desirable, but easily modified. The RedSea Max forum here, has just about every type of successful mod you can do to one, including filtration. Plus the members there are great! Always willing to help. Do a "search" and...

I ran an ASM-G2 for two years, loved it. Are you sure it's the pump and not just the impeller? Mine would "Hang-up" every so often during start-ups after cleaning ect.. Impeller replacement worked like a charm.

DI resin changed 000 TDS! (003 between RO and DI) Scrapping the SW I made yesterday as a precaution. Will do a 30g WC this evening.

That's why I'm here. So, p04 is diffenately my problem.. excess amounts being introduced through some form or fashion? What can I do to improve my husbandry skills and/ or set-up? I can write out my entire routine in reguards to maintence, feeding, Livestock, equiptment, ect... Please ask! I'm...

I did use 100+ lbs of dry pukani rock, but the HA grows on the back glass as oppose to the rock. I do get cyano on them still, after 8 months I would hope I'd be over this. This is the first time setting up a tank with dry rock.. All my others would be looking great (even though young) by this...

I've heard this argument before, but I find it hard to believe. If the algae is using it, shouldn't there atleast show up as trace amounts? Is there another direction I should be looking? I just really want to solve this.

My 200 has been up since this past Feb. I use both carbon and GFO in seperate BRS reactors along with a 75g sump/ fuge. I get cyano/ red slime bacteria/ and some form of hair algae.. not the blue/green kind.. a much finer kind. I assumed it was a phosphate issue.. Testing using an API Phosphate...

Thinking I could alternate the Zoo, Phyto, Cyclopeze and Marine Snow daily. Maybe not the Marine Snow or Phyto. Monday= Zooplex, Tues.= Cyclopeze, Wed. = Zooplex.... an so on. Feeding early in the morning before I head off to work. Even my "Off" days I still get up by 6. I'm running an ASM...

I've never been big on feeding my corals, but I need to change that. I'm getting more into the SPS, Favias and Brains. "Feeding" my tank will help my Zoas too. I've held on to several of my favorite softies during my upgrade to my 200, but never really fed them directly in the 120. I'm wanting...

Thanks Guys.. I've got both a MJ600 & 1200 I can use. I was afraid they'd be too much, but I'll try the 600 first.
