Haha I'll keep you in mind! And thanks again for the kind words! I've worked so hard and made mistakes along the way. I stopped dosing all those bottles of garbage. I fell victim to the "bottle cure"
Now I'm just doing 5 gallon water changes every week using my friends pre mixed at his store. He uses Instant Ocean reef crystals. I'm gonna try that for awhile and see. And of course I test. Oh an every month I started doing a 10 gallon water change. I have every bottle they put out and stopped it all. I was a newbie and the LFS guy said I needed a bottle for this and that and that and this etc etc etc. I must have no joke 30 bottles. After awhile I was like what am I doing. I did research and from asking questions here I found that water changes with a good reef mix should take care of 90% if not more. Knock on wood I haven't had any algae outbreaks or any thing really go bad. I mean minor thing here and there but nothing major.
Can't wait to see how I do with my new 8 gallon that's currently cycling
