    Depending on what it was i probably would have. Ha ha. Every time i saw aptasia or weird hair algae i would toss the frag. This one snuck in and took over while i was gone.

I am at 1600ish now and going to leave it at that level for another week before i stop dosing it. Only annoying was finding that happy amount to dose that would only raise the magnesium level between 50 and 100 ppm a day so as to not shock the system. After that it was easy.

    nice man did you use 1 or 2 gallons ? haha its alot of doseing huh
