    Results of poll surprise me, I don't believe that many people are really sub 0.03 - not using the dd merc kit

    Inlinkman - I use nopox and caulerpa export to control nutrients. The brand of carbon is a cheap one we got on a multibuy (not fair to name but it was acid washed)

    have you tested it now, ?,,o lover of the fleshy corals
