ok heres my plan of attack:
I havent fed my fish in two days just nori
got the P04 absorber..how long do keep that in my filter?
running carbon
got 8 snails today
no "real" corals yet, just goniopora..It seems to love the water condition..so just one 65watt actinic pc for the whole day
should I do a big water change?
and last resort, Chem-clean?

Mine burned itself out in about a week. Keep close tabs on your nitrates, I also pointed my ph toward the surface so there was more water movement at the top. Don't know if that is what caused it to burn out, but it disappeared by itself. Hope this helps.

What is your source water? Test it for PO4. That is gennerally where it comes from. I wouold try the chem-clean. It worked great for me. Turn off your skimmer, remove the GAC and add it to the tank. Be ready to do a water change after 24-48 hours. Good luck! Lando

Almost forgot...If you have large areas of cyno, siphin it up before the chemi-clean Tx. Try not to break it up or it will spread. As long as you have the source of PO4 nailed down, I would use it to get the cyno out of your tank. It really worked wonders for me.
