Hey Brad, could it be time to make a tough decision & start another tank or get rid of something?

Ya, it's that time. I have a complete 90 breeder setup that I'm trying to sell the wife on, but not sure I'm sold on it either.

The MIs are amazing fish and I don't trust anyone locally to keep them alive, and that kills me. Honestly, they have to go, they're stripping branches bare.

I'm stuck with hard decisions both sides. But my reef won't be a reef much longer at this rate. Can't even bring myself to test PO4!!

Understood,,,,,, Gonna be rough,,, Obviously you're the only one to make that answer,,,,,, although it may be completely unaesthetically (my word of the day) pleaseing & impractical, have you thought of separating them within the tank (maybe eggcrate or something??

Not really possible, and that pretty much wrecks the tank

Jess, while I may be able to get a handle on levels, I still have the coral eating issue, and less food means more coral snacks.

I know your question is to those dossing vodka,sugar,vinegar or vodka alone but I have had amazing results with just vinegar . I started about four months ago after having on going problems with my bio pellets clumping. My no3 when up to about 15 but now I have it down to almost zero just a little pink with Salifert and zero with Api . My bio load is heavy and I am dosing 12 times a day 10 ml . Now that I have lowered the no3 I am going to start dialing it back a bit and see if it can maintain the lower level no3 .
