Nice set up Ryan , I like the little refugium with rock flowers, also how that reactor ( I guess with the cheato) works for you?
Looks great

Thanks buddy the reactor worked fine when my phosphate was .08 ish now there very low hanna phosphorus reads 0-4 ppb on tests so that's 0. 012 if im correct on the higher end lol as a result the cheato melted away.

So my main goal for this tank (losing the bryopsis) is a fail my sps is all fine but there were multiple zoas frags I just couldn't throw away, at first all was well but when I started dosing the aqua forest foods the bryopsis went from I few small stems poping out to covering the zoas on affected plugs.

So last night I took the plunge I added 9 fluconazole pills at 200mg each, tank is 85-90 gallon total water volume.by the way thanks Dan (vanreefer) for ordering these up.

So, never heard of this . Can you explain ?

That's a pretty sweet looking sump. Does it just look pretty or is it good design too? Quiet?

Don't get discouraged...my SPS did the same thing when I transferred into my tank. Nutrients too low, all faded out. That's your issue too? I tried everything...Pohl's Xtra is the magic ingredient for me. My buddy is Valonia though, not Bryopsis. Not sure which sucks more. :lol:

Mark there's another thread about it on canreef but in short you add the pills to tank I removed skimmer cup others don't. Then wait for the magic to happen, day eight you do a 25% water change bryopsis should be dead by then.

Thanks it's does work pretty well and was very very quiet until I added the dripping feature with the bio brick, but doesn't bother me at night and my room is very close. As for color yeah it's from low nutrients they were also dipped a few times so think it's a bit of both but I'm feeding lots they will come back. The valonia must be a mod thing pretty sure that wardog guy had a few also. But yeah either are brutal to deal with hoping for the best with the fluconazole.
