but if you keep removing what you can when ever you can and keep starving your bound to win

i think you have enough flow for your tank more flow wont hurt but your not lacking either


gfo is great i run it all the time i would never run a tank without it now its amazing what it does b y its self alone.

rowaphos to my knowlege is a type of gfo, but it works better in a reactor in a tank as large as a 180g you need to run it through a reactor.


a cheap reactor is very easy to build google "gatorade reactor" i built one and it worked great on a small tank.reactors are cheap though you could get one for $30-50

I've been looking at a BRS reactor, not a diy kinda girl as much as I try.... I think part of the cyano is new tank, the 55 did the same thing, but not as soon. I've got the afternoon off tomorrow, will pull out as much as I can. Thanks for the help!

Default Cyano update

Its all gone!! Woot! I just basted off my rocks and there's nothing. I added 3 types of macro algae, brs dual reactor running carbon and gfo, filter sock and an orange diamond goby. I manually removed what I could every couple of days. Will post updated pics when lights come on!
