Did you test with any over the counter kits? Mine (Salifert and API) read zero, but I have a few tufts of hair algae and my color is not that great. I am going to start with ROWAphos today.

Strange. I have two clowns in my 75 and they swim all over the place. Not only that, they both ignore the BTA and Frogspawn coral I have in the tank. Go figure. It's lit with 2 overdriven T5's and 2...

I runa 1260 with 1" to a wavy sea (which exits 3/4) and it has good flow force. Perfect for my 50 gal. Blows my fish a little off course but doesn't smash them into rocks or the wall :)
