    Marc Weiss Phosphate Magnet

    You're right about that contamination statement. In regards to Kent's Phosphate sponge, could I put it in the micron bag in my Remora Pro where the water feeds back into the aquarium?

    Scooter blenny

    Yes they do eat pods, almost exclusively. I had one in my 55 w/ 75 Lbs of LR. He didn't last two months and decimated my pod population. I would never get another without a refugum.

    Canopy Rust?

    I found an oak finished ProQuatics Canopy for my 55 for $79. I think this is a good deal, but I'm wondering how to keep the hinges from rusting, or if this is even a concern. Thanks.

    Invert Die Off, Please Help me

    You are correct, it is Meg/L. Before I started dosing with Reef Buffer it was around 3.5 or less. Should I stop using the Reef Buffer? If so should I add anything to the fresh RO top off H2O?
