This was supposed to be a mixed reef when I started it over 3 years ago but I havn't been able to get it stable enough to even think about sps. The algea is hopefully this last hurdle and with any luck this will do the trick.

Clams feed on nitrates

I would suggest you run Prodibio Bioclean also if you want to control your nutrient issues. For $55 you get 15 vials of biodigest (Nytrifying Bacteria) and 15 vials of Bioptim (Food source for the Bacteria) you only need to dose 1 vial of each every 2 weeks for your size of tank, these vials will last you 7.5 months quite a steal IMO, on bigger system it get quite expensive but with you tank you will get away with it cheap! Dose the prodibio every water change and watch your nutrient levels goes down

over couple of months it will bring you down to ultra low nutrient levels. Do a little bit of reading on Prodibio and test it out of you like. I love this stuff esp when i get to break the tip of the vial and dose it into my tank

most fun 2 sec I have LOL

I actually wanted to give it a try but can't seem to find anywhere to buy it.

Message Michael from aqua digital and he should be able to tell you which stores in BC carries it. If you don't mind paying shipping cost then the online stores are cheaper than in store ones usually. Reefsupplies and Goreef carries Prodibio.

Everything is up and running with no major issues. However, my skimmer has stopped producing since I fired up the reactor. There are bubles forming like crazy but only about 1/4" of foam on top of the water. I have seen this happen for short periods of time after feeding but it hasn't produced anything in 48 hours.
