Disgusting brown goo
hi christy
just a thought, if you want a refugium/sump we have a 20g drilled that i would probably give away if it came down to it or trade for a fish magazine or something. it has been sitting on the shelf for too long and i basically just want to move it out.
i posted it on the board this am in case you aren't interested, but if you are, i have the bulkheads still (i think) and could help you set it up el cheapo -- that's how i try to do everything in this hobby. it keeps me out of bankruptcy and tanja is an accountant so imagine the challenges!!

i can't visualize your setup but it would be best for this to be slightly higher than your tank (on a bookshelf of sorts maybe??) and then just use a ph as darren i think suggested. i don't think this will be an instant fix for the super goo you have but long term it will benefit your system in many ways. we have macro algae by the bucket you could seed it with.
just an idea. if it won't fit the plan no worries.
as for super goo destruction, i have found success with a combination of things, the best being high alk and high current. as a cost saving measure, i would avoid doing many 50-60% h20 changes cuz of the cost of salt but that's just my approach with our large volume.
anyway just a couple thoughts. shane
