Lol I have been using my extra pipettes from my testers but it just isnt enough suck power!! :p

That just might work. It is fairly loose so I think I could get the majority of it up. Now I have noticed that the coral is kinda staining as the advice I was running on was to "not touch it except for Trimming" just a light brown running into the crushed coral. Worried it is part of the diatom...

I am going to start by just saying thank you again as this thread has become way more needy then I has initially intended. That being said another question! This one is sump related. So the refugium section of my sump is in need of some attention I think. It come right after the section that...

Lol yes this I was aware of :p. I dot mind doing the water changes out of the sump. I just try to stay away from doing it directly out of the refuge for fear of sucking bugs. But the only place that still has Dino occurring is the refugium section of my sump so I may just have to suck it up...

And by sump I mean refugium

Brilliant!! Thanks ya I have been trying to wipe the sides and toothbrush any dinos I see I get a little scared of water changing out of the sump because I don't want to lose any bugs. I have been but they have been small

So bio balls are almost all out yay! The bottom of that chamber proves to me why not to use them. I did just have a question about sump lighting I currently have my sump light on while the main tank light is off to keep the ph nice and stable. Is this too much? Should I be having a little...

My sump is miracle. They are a very solid company. Most of the lfs' here use them for everything as well as the chain big als if you have heard of them. Solid product obviously haven't had to deal with the shipping :(

I vote glass, I had an acrylic tank and scratched super fast! Glass all the way!

Everyone has you set here, Hello and welcome!

Excellent. Ya I would not recommend this skimmer to anyone. it worked great at first but is now more trouble then it is worth. Luckily I did not spend much on it. Thanks again fish. I will contact coralife direct I suppose see if I can't milk them for some free product.

The lights are coming back on slowly and things are looking a lot better. The problem has not been totally fixed but at least now some rocks are clear and some just have a fine fuzz. May try another black out after I get the rest of the bio balls out and a more diluted RO water supply. I...

Well I definitely have to say thank you to little fish, the blanket came off yesterday and everything seems to be doing much better. I got in there with a toothbrush and brushed of the rocks that still looked to be a little covered and the dino's just swept right off :). The only coral that...

Wow, Speedy! ;) kk ! Thank you! I will let you know how it is going!

Alright! So today is day three of the blackout! I was going to remove the blanket today and do a water change on the system, then start to assimalate the coral back to the light. Whats the best way to do this? I was thinking slowly over the next three days getting it back to its regular...
