millipora, Tenius and acropora plus one or two 'unknown' variety i got from a random frag pack. As of now, they are 4-5 inches apart so probably plenty of room. just wondering how much more I can shove more in because another AquaSD live sale is upcoming and i have a credit :D
Before I ask the question, i know the answer to this question will be 'it depends'. Knowing that this is the case and I cant answer the it depends expectations...
How much average space between an 'unknown / general' sps do you generally try to provide? i have a wonderful 18.5 inch cube...
I had the same issue as well. Look for the thread called algea bloom. I brought everything down to undetectable and i had a dino and diatom explosion that almost killed my tank. I put on a UV sterilizer, turned off my skimmer (for a while) and added some potassium nitrate. Within a few days...
HMMM...interesting. The instructions indicate that both horizontal and vertical are acceptable. debating if i am going to leave this permenantly in anyway..so may be an answer to deploy only when needed.

I ran active carbon last week and that is when this entire bloom started...so curious if there is any connection.
My mechanical filtration:
200 micron filter sock (cleaned regularly)
Poly filter floss (changed regularly)
Microbubble sponge filter
Tunze nano skimmer (emptied regularly)...
Still waiting on my Potassium Nitrade to show up..but wanted to ask a secondary question and get some advice..if anyone doesnt mind. I put in the seachem PhosGuard and got the phosphates to undetectable. This in conjunction with undetectable nitrates (via the API master test kit), I would have...
