    everyone have been extremely helpful. As before you know I'm bad at keeping a good reef system. I'm starting a new "24 GALLON NANO" using my old reef water, live rock, fish etc. It has to be in the chemicals I've been told several different large reef shops. Now will see how good you really are...

    I just ordered 2littlefishies phosban reactor. I'm thinking of putting phosban AND carbon in it. Any harm in doing that? My only thought is that one may get depleted before the other, but since there's really no way to know when that is, it;s not such a big issue. I'll just replace the mix...
