Quick question about this 2 part stuff, im starting not to like it and thinking about going back to my same routine that gave me no problem. How often can or should this stuff be used? Everyday?

MY ACRO after 3 weeks, doing great!! Also got me another nice piece of lr that looks like a cave in itself, it was in a shipment that jus came in so im gonna cycle it in another tank for a few weeks before i add it to the tank.

Dang dude thats a nice tank. I see you got both sps and lps in that tank, how do they get along? I going to be doing the same and dont know alot about it yet.

The ULTIMATE score... maybe? Well i wanted to add some LR to my tank so i bought about 5 pound piece from one of my LFS display tanks. I noticed it had about 3 quarter size blueish green ricordia shrooms on it hiking. When the guy said $25 i jumped on it! I got it home and dropped in to my...
