Thanks guys.

As for the rics, I started with 1 that I bought from Hung for $35 about three years ago. Now I have around 20 of them and I have sold some as well. They seem to do well in every tank I have put them in. They don't mind ultra dirty water and they still reproduce under very nutrient poor SPS conditions. If I could, I wouldn't mind having a tank full of them.

Dang Brad, thats not a good way to start at all. Have you tested your water for amonia, trates, and trites? Are you running anything for phophates? That looks like one heck of a cycle you are going through.

Hope things get straightened out soon.

I don't think my tank looked that bad when it started, maybe my 125g. Seriously it looks like someone took a crap in your tank. You got it plumbed to your toilet close loop style, must be your surge

Give it a month and it will all go away, although you could throw in the towel and give me some of those nice rics.

Does anyone want to go out for chocolate ice cream??

BTW Brad, your aquascaping looks awesome. I can't wait until your tank clears up so that you can start moving in corals.

Let's stop the last page of discussion I just removed people or folks are going to find their accounts suspended.

Family friendly...Remember?

Thanks.
