It is a scarlet skunk cleaner, had to google that.

I'm not going down the h2o2 route yet but will post if I do. If you dip your rocks in it won't it kill all the beneficial bacteria as well?

Hmmm I really don't want to crash my entire tank by dipping rocks.

Also to my previous question, do you guys run cheato/fuge lights on opposite schedules to your main display? Mine is at the same time right now.

I run my fuge light opposite, but that is to try to keep the pH up on the system.

if your going to run a fuge for nutrient export unless your system is tiny not really going to see any noticable difference, i would go turf scrubber if thats why you want it that can keep you really low even ulns

Here are some pics after the lights just turned on.
As you can see there is very little of the brown crap, it seems to increase as the day goes on. Do Dino's do that?
