Hey guys,
So I'm planning my next upgrade and wanted to see everyone's opinion. I'm considering a roller mat or DOS for 2 part. I've been running this tank for about 18 months now. It use 4 filter socks which I have 3 sets of. So I have 2 sets that get cleaned while the third is in the sump. I've been battling cyano off and on for at least a year. After a major outbreak, I can more or less keep it at bay. Every morning I dose with red sea foundation A B C depending on my tests results. I have my Apex running with Trident taking my tests. I also have.a DOS doing constant water changes. MG is pretty rock solid, I only dose it make once or twice a month. CA is up and down, which surprises me because I have a fair amount of corals that I would expect to consume it. Alk on the other hand is getting used every day. So my question is: would I get better tank results with 2 part dosing or having the roller mat taking out more garbage/nutrients? I should also say that I don't replace my filter socks until all 4 are full and the sump water starts to back up. Thanks for your input
