i dont hear too many people giving chemical quick fixes....like chemiclean(for cyano)...or resin's...20%RO water change wkly should be an EZ fix.why is that??I have kept reefs for years and have gone through the trials & tribulations of chems. i for 1 would like to keep all foriegn chems. out of my tank if possible....but im not against using them when times arise...do i practice bad husbandry?I think it is alot less cost effecient than (for instance) going out and spending a couple of hundred $ on a new skimmer,& tearing down my whole system.......just my take on things since i dont have alot of money,& have managed to succeed in reef keeping
