Just throw a couple of power heads in the display tank to aerate the water during the process and you will be fine, you do not have to worry about the corals...they will be fine!

man, at times all this makes me want to pull my hair out! (made more funny by the fact im bald =P). I am reading up on chemiclean. and it seems for some reason like every time i research nutrient reduction methods, or algae control, i come back to carabon dosing. I want to try vodka dosing, but biopellets are a carbon source as well. If results from vodka are anything like they were from biopellets, im not going anywhere near them!

maybe this is a topic for a new thread.

Bio pellets works fine, you just have to be patient as it takes time for them to have full benefits from them.

it took a month or 2 for them to start working, but after they kicked in on my system, all growth stopped, the emerald palys in the above picks bleached, all zoas melted, but i had no algae =S. took them off, and things are starting to grow again. including the algae =/

The dealer I got mine from told me that they can starve to death before finding enough food. So to prevent that, spread them out. Just what I was told.

Default berghia

you keep them together so they can mate-if they can't find each other there is no offspring.they can go from one side of a 15 gal tank to the other in less than 5 minutes.they also usually feed in packs(although they do separate to individually feed)a group of berghia will start at the base of one aptasia-devour it and move onto the next
