You figure out what the red stuff is?

Oh yeah just haven't had a chance to get back on here. My BRS GFO reactor cap or whatever you call it was broke and leaking GFO into my system.

I forgot to put my sponge in ny reactor once and got that stuff all in my sump. That was a pain to clean. Thankfully I hadn't turned the return pump on yet so it stayed in the sump

Oh yeah mine must have been leaking into the system for days my powerheads were covered and every thing in my sump was covered. but all back to normal now and still dosing and all numbers looking good and coral growth so far so good

Can't believe I missed this thread initially. I am running the Fauna Marin Balling Light method on my tank and love it so far. Be aware that there are two forms of balling. The original balling method and balling light. There isn't a ton in English but everything I read about the balling light method has been positive. I also use Claude's Reef Vitality and looking to add a few other Fauna Marin products to my tank.

If you want to read all about the balling method, pros/cons and want a thread to read for a couple days, I would absolutely recommend checking out this thread (balling questions for a noob - UltimateReef.com). This is what made me decide to go with Fauna Marin's balling light method.
