No pickcha's, no pickcha's!!

Algae outbreak central!

Here's the plan of action:
* Get rid of mechanical filtration system! (or put something else in it?? I remember Doug mentioning that its best to put crushed rock in these, and I said that I would clean my filters once per week - that didn't happen)
* Try out a GFO reactor
* Try a mangrove
* Replace water system filters
* Massive water change with rock "hair cut"
* Only frozen food, and less of it.

Wow I suck at this reef thang right now lol

Comments encouraged on my plan!! I feel like I have no idea what I am doing anymore lol Old tank syndrome... complete.

PS. I don't have a sump YET. Going to work with Jay soonish to build a new fancy tank.


If someone does suggest putting rocks in mechanical filtration system rather than the foam pads, please advise on how to break up said rocks.... I've tried using a hammer, and it didn't work out how I had hoped.
