    On a different note. The green slime it still fine. Still on the right track?

    Yes but when you brush it off it usually fills in with green hair. Maybe whatever is in the water will slowly come out like it did last time.

    Alright I just added my doser to the system. Will be dosing 7mL throughout the day. Let's see if that will help. On the bright side. I read iron helps with coral growth also. Mainly the green corals.

    Do I need to wash this out or just let it keep going?

    Looks the same. Let's do this:

    Since it is doing a good job of growing thick nutrient-rich growth, toothbrush them both totally clean whenever they fill up like this. This way you'll at least be pulling these nutrients out, since they seem to want to come out.

    What's a good pump upgrade to replace my fusion pumps? Something a little bigger then needed for SURF. But not the coral lifter pumps. One of my fusion pumps leg of air is lacking. I think it's about to crap out on me.

    The Hailea ACO-9720:

    And here is a comparison video:

    If the new-rubber scent will be a problem, just run it outside for a few weeks first.
