    I've been battling this stuff for a few months now...about ready to give up. I've tried heavy mag dosing (Kent marine), adding a carbon/GFO reactor, and doing heavy water changes. It's EVERYWHERE, and I can't contain it anymore. I remove massive chunks every day. Any ideas?

    I have a 40 gallon reef tank, it's just over a year old and my old powerhead has just given out on me. My question for all you Saltwater smarties out there is; "what size of powerhead do I need for adequate water flow and is there a recommended brand to buy?" And on a side note, is it better...
