I've also tried pulling out the rock the zoas are on and manually scraping the GHA with a razor blade but...

    Does anyone here still use bioballs for their reef aquarium?

    So I just watched Dr Tim's talk at Macna about bacteria and nitrification () and what caught my interest is when he said he much preferred the old school bio balls over the marine pure blocks. Reason being that the blocks though very porous actually actually stop allowing water to flow through...

    ID: weird reddish algae?

    So I’ve been battling GHA the past couple of months, but now that the GHA is slowly going away I’ve noticed a weird red hairy thing on one of my rocks.
