reef-keeper is on a distinguished road

I have been battling this for about 6-7 months. I tried all kinds of treatments, from pulling off the excess to removing the rock and scrubbing with a tooth brush. That stuff is very hard to get a hold off. Found dr. Tim's Waste Away and constant 30-50% water changes. Plus a totally new feeding regiment. I finally obtained a 0.01 phosphate reading on my Hanna Checker. Last night!! My tank is a 5.5 gallon pico tank. Plus I also increase my magnesium to the higher end which will help a bit. Plus I was reading about using a hydrogen peroxide treatment. You have to remove the rock and dip it in for about 10-15 minutes. Never tried it, still trying to find out more about it. Hope this helps!
