Rice Reef is on a distinguished road
Default Warning...Huge Jan pic update!
After using chemiclean the cyano is gone ( hopefully for good) however, there are still numerous patches of turf algae on the rocks. To fight the algae war I have increased the GFO and have been adding 30ml of MB7 for the last 16 days and planning to add a few turbos. Besides the algae the corals are finally starting to show signs of growth and coloring. Hope you like the pics and ehem! Please ignore the algae in the pictures...

I try to keep things simple... Feed moderately and do regular water changes. I do run bio pellets, gfo and carbon and I am currently dosing the big three but I do plan to use a calcium reactor down the road. I have a lot of them blue bottles and I add zeospur2 once a week and I also add biomate, zeozym and coral snow. The other blue bottles will sit on the shelve for now as I don't think the tank is fully ready for them. I also look up to the reef gurus like Rich, Kien and Brad and adopt their ideas and husbandry. Lastly, I pray every night.
