Disgusting brown goo

Thanks Darren,
Regular water in my mind is fresh RO/DI sorry for the confusion. I know tap water is bad bad bad!! [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

Yes I am only measuring alk. I never even thought to measure the Ca and pH. I have Kent liquid calcium that I add every once in awhile. My Ca usually stays at about 420 or so.

I found a limewood airstone that came with my crapulent Lee's Protein Skimmer. That sucker lasted about 3 days before I threw it in a drawer where it belongs.

Right now I have 2 firefish gobies (thinkin about getting rid of them since one hides and the other one has a $hit eating grin on its face all the time after chasing the other one around the tank.) clown goby, lawnmower and an ailing anthias (cloudy eye, treating with Maracyn2).

As for the refugium. Good input. I can't get the fuge higher than the tank. Guess I'll have to work on that one.
