Thanks for the quick answers guys, I really appreciate it. I will try mixing 1 tsp per gallon at first and see if my numbers come down to a more "acceptable" level and take it from there.

Reef Junkie,

Even though the world's oceans do have major fluctuations, they usually happen gradually and the ocean is so vast it gives the corals time to adjust. When a swing happens in one...

What I meant to say was the anerobic bacteria causing a small algae bloom. I would imagine that if you over skim, the nutrients that the anerobic bacteria would feed on becomes closer to the surface...
