I took a look at my tank this evening and noticed the crazy looking bubbly slime stuff in the picture. I believe the acro was maricultured. I only gave it a half hearted dip prior to putting it in the tank. It appears to have fern caulerpa or some other macro algae that hitched hiked with it...

I have a new hammer. Got it cheap from the LFS, because it came from an ignored tank that was in serious need of help. I knew it would need some TLC, but I really am not sure what's up with this. I know it's not opening up as much as it should be, but its improving slowly. Twice now, though...

So, I recently found my RODI container walls covered in slime. My TDS jumped from none to about 20. I ended up dumping it and cleaning it really well. With all the maintenance I already do I don't want to have to add regular dumping and cleaning of the RODI container. So my question is...
