A good friend recently bought a house that has a pretty sweet Reef setup, including a refugium. The big issue is the owner completely neglected the tank for almost 2 years. No skimmer, lights, water changes (just top off). There still a few fish in there...but I see no coral growth but over all the equipment looks functional. The tank & refugium TTL size is about 300 gal. Long story short, what should I do to get this tank up and ...
Fts from today. Changed out my lights to 2 Orphek Atlantik units a while back. Super happy with them and the changes in the tank.

Hey guys, I thought I would ask for a hand on my battles with cyano. First some background. I have had my 90 AGA tank for 4 years and recently restarted the tank in Feb 2013 due to Bryopsis. Total water volume is around 130 gallons, basement sump, Octopus NWB 150, BRS reactor with carbon, TLF Phosban 550 with BRS biopellets. I dose 3 vials each of Prodbio Biodigest and Bioptim every 2 weeks. I have around 100 lbs of marco rock. As for sand I have Tropic Eden Reefflakes. ...
My cheato algae has all but dissapeared from my sump and I seem to have green slimey algae in my tank.could new Radions be causing algae growth? Nitrates near zero Phoshates less than .25. Any ideas?
To capture those pictures from yesterday, I had the Macro lens in hand. So I took a few more images of the reef to share with you all. These were taken after treating my tank to kill cyano, by the way. If you need a Top Down Photo Box, here's the link to order one from Melev's Reef: www.melevsreef.com/catalog/top-down-photo-box ...
