Googled that one, pics look very similar. Thanks
I've got nutrients to 0ppm, pulling what I can touch, Mg on it's way up now, but started at 1150. Probably 1350 tonight, will get it up to 1700 and try to keep it there, but only have 4L of Mg. What did you do for lights? Shorter period, or days of darkness?

Brad, I think all your problems are stemming from your purchase of 'dead' rock and too many critters too fast.
Didn't you start with dry rock, and then switch to Walt Smith stuff ? And all the while you were adding your livestock ? And while you were trying to deal with your LR/whatever rock, you added a fairly large amount of fish with high feeding demands ... ?? Forgive me for bringing it all up, I have no idea what I'm talking about

Greg, I ran dead rock for a couple months maybe, then moved over to all Walt Smith rock.
Yes, I had a lot of die off that couldn't be removed, although pulling all the sand has apparently helped, nutrients are now at 0. I'm probably going in the rigth direction now, and Tim's advice is good, adding fozdown and carbon source directly to the tank. Removing by hand is tough, as it's short little clusters that don't come off easily, although I got a bit out last night with tweezers. I might look at cheato for sump if I can add some light and find some cheato  I still have some sand and crap behind the rock that I'm struggling to get at, I might have to stick a pump down in the back and blow it out Topping up Mg on Dave's accelerated program now, hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones that gets some results from it.
