Add yours!
Re: green water need help

Also I'd stop adding chemicals to the tank and just work on the root cause and not the problems/symptoms of the root.

Did you add anything new to the tank in the last few weeks at all?

How much flow do you have?

What type of filtration?

What do you feed with in your tank?

I know that's a lot of questions but the more we know about your system the more we can help you

Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!
