If you have a foam pad abs you never clean it that will definitely contribute to prpblems. It NEEDS to be rinsed at least once a month or the detritus build up WILL cause problems. Rinsed mine today in water change water. Bye bye crap build up lol!!!

Default Still having problems

I had problems with zoos. and it was aways the red ones. Now I dose with ecosystems "reef solution". Now when the problem starts I put a cap full in, and they start oping up again right. Hour or so, depending on how bad they are.
I you decide to try it I hope it works
