About 1 week ago I was having a problem with my blue tubs turning brown and staying closed up. I did a coral rx dip, let rest for a day. Then I did a 20 min dip in furan 2. Here's a picture before the dip

I picked up a polyp of rasta zoanthids and fragged some zoanthids onto a tonga branch live rock.

I took out all filter media and now now have been running my tank with only filter floss in chamber 2. My tank has never looked so clear. I also started dosing vit c in the morning and all my levels are spot on. Im happy with the results
