![]() Well all I know is that right now I need the miracle juice!
I don't have time to go grab the coral snow now but I will get some this weekend and see what it does. |

![]() Coral snow has never done anything significant for me. Turns your tank milky white for a few hours...by the time it clears, you're happy that the tank looks better!

![]() I cleared out the cyano this morning and just came home to find it back but about twice as much!
This really sucks... I wonder if it does have a lot to do with my very high bio load? |

![]() Manual removal of cyano is utterly futile.
I ran Red Slime Remover when on Zeo and it kicked the cyano once and for all. I was all jittery about doing that while on Zeo but it worked out fine in the end. FWIW I ran Coral Snow like no tomorrow and followed the Zeo instructions on page 23 or whatever and all it accomplished was I used up more Coral Snow and Zeobak than otherwise. Didn't touch the cyano in the least. The cyano never came back after that treatment. FWIW/HTH/IME/etc.

I am seriously debating going back to a good old refugium, ozone, kalk, ect. to keep nutrients down in the new tank over ZEO. I know I should be giving it more time but I am not even a fan of having to dose so much and test everything all the time, ect. Seems like so far it has done the tank some good but also been a pain. I think what I will do is see if someone wants to buy the reactor package from me. If I can sell it easily, then I will not do ZEO on the new tank but if not, then I will stick with it. LOL...seems like such a stupid way to decide but I don't really care either way at this point. I just kind of want my tank to go back to how it was pre-ZEO ![]() |

![]() I always thought red slime remover was erythromycin. Which is why it can mess with your bacterial load. Kills the baddies but some of the goodies too.
Of course I may be wrong (note that I said "may" ![]()

![]() I'm going to try the coral snow/zeobak mix and see how that goes. If that doesn't work then well, I'll wait to hear your results and go from there

![]() I've used red Slime remover before in my Zeo Tank.
My skimmer went nuts for 8 days but other than that no problems J |
