Both my nitrates and phosphates are at a 0 so I am dosing with both neophos and neonitro to get them on the track they need to be. I was seeing improvement but this week its all over the tank again and I'm trying to figure out how to keep up with it. I'm thinking about doing a gallon water change on Tuesdays and Fridays that way I can keep pulling out dynos and not only on Tuesdays! I'm still determined to beat this and I know I can! im still dosing Dr. Tim's on Tuesdays and Fridays.

my tank is doing good so far with the dr. Tim's waste away. you can tell there is a change and that some is dying off its losing its color when its dying off. I accidently slacked off this week because work was kicking my butt and I'm wore out. so i did a three gallon water change and did 3 caps full of dr. Tim's and add the fourth cap tomorrow since it seems to be working spitting the doses in half. I did check my nitrate and phosphate and they are swinging off the roof every Tuesday that I check them so it could be that they are literally going high then low I'm gonna check one more time next week and possibly start the dosing process of that. my skimmer is working too for once and I keep the UV running.

today I checked my phosphate, nitrate, salinty, and temp. I am trying to raise my temps to 80 to see if it helps slow the dinos im fighting down. my salinty is dropping as well so gonna need to do a water change. my nitrate dropped from 5.8 to 3.1 gonna check one more time on friday to see if it is swinging and gonna check phosphate as well friday since i finally did my test and it was at a 0.012. next step is to do a water change and try and get as much dino i can out of my tank crossing fingers this works!

Been having issues with my tank for a while, doing what I can do to better it so I did a lot of research and found out I have been fighting the wrong stuff. So this past week I found out I'm fighting dino I am a beginner and wasn't sure what is was. so I did a full water change by removing all the dino I could, pulled out all my rocks and corals and cleaned them as much as I could and cleaned my whole tank had to move most fish and urchin to another tank I did sadly lose my xenias (I love them). Waiting for more test solution to come to keep track of my nitrates and phosphates and gonna work hard on getting this baby back up and going. I also started dosing my tank with Dr. Tim's waste-away today and hopefully my solutions come in soon so I can see if I need to start dosing my nitrates and phosphates to get them straight and narrow!
