With the low bioload I'd be looking at your rock/sand. Moving the rock may have opened some new areas to increased flow which could now be purging. Prodibio might need some time to catch up.

*edit:
I said inorganic twice. Meant organic the second time. Organic phosphate is bound within organisms or organic compounds and isn't free in the water column for algae, gfo, etc.

I'm pretty happy with my 16k. I would try to get something at a color you like running relatively equal white/blue settings. If you adjust the blue down too much on the 16k it gets a little purple...

Hey Nick, will this order that's coming in have the WP25's as well? I'm pretty anxious since they've been delayed a couple times and a couple emails have gone unanswered.

I'd part with my coralife gloves if you're interested in paying the shipping charges. I find them a little to thick to do any small work. They're brand new. PM me if you're interested.

I'm with you. Dry rock is perfectly fine as long as it's purged of any built up phosphates just as live rock would need to be. The ability to "dry scape" and the reduction of any pests is a huge...

Dead spots behind the rocks are just as bad as the sandbed if the detritus is settling there and not being removed. But think about this, if you're afraid to take a peek into your sandbed because of...

Definately, this is what people do whey they use a turkey baster to blow the bacterial flock off the rocks. High enough and proper flow can keep the flock from clogging up the rocks as well.

You're right on both points.
The OP should siphon as much detritus as possible from the sandbed so as not to rely on the sandbed sinking nutrients which is ultimately finite. (Disclaimer below)

Let me know if you've got any trips to Edmonton planned. I'll take all the clove polyps and maybe one or two of those other somewhat decent ones. :surprise:

Simply stunning.
