does anyone have the dosage for bayer advanced (pic below in a small amount of water)

 

[Tonyscoots84]

2 lvl cups of tank water with .5ml of bayer advanced...

so if i did

1 lvl cup of tank water with .25ml of bayer advanced i should be fine as well?

Yes!!! I noticed that you can't over dose if you go a little to much but the time you leave it is the key from killing your coral so don't go more then 7-10 mins for sps and LPS 5-7mins

order placed with reefcleaners.org :biggrin:

25 Dwarf Cerith
1 Emerald/Ruby Mithrax Crab*
20 Florida Cerith
1 Fuzzy Chiton*
1 Limpet
10 Nerite Snails (Small - Medium)
1 Pods+

going to tropic aquarium on saturday lets see what i come home with :approve:

 

[Tonyscoots84]

got my invert order unfortunately emerald crab, few ceriths and fuzzy chiton arrived dead

i passed by tropic aquarium and all i gotta say is that there prices are nuts in a bad way. very expensive for the size of the livestock they are selling. i was going to buy 2 bangai cardinals and 2 cleaner shrimp but was not spending that money for those sizes.

tank is doing pretty good got green algae and still some brown diatoms. hopefully new inverts take care of this problem

[Tonyscoots84]
