I don't rinse my marine pure blocks but I do use a powerhead to blow them off with sump water from time to time to clear any settled detritus. Don't remove them as that kills some of the bacteria that make them useful.]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2018 13:20:20 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=84780&PID=633840&title=help-please#633840 <![CDATA[Help please.! : I would treat the marine pure...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=84780&PID=633839&title=help-please#633839 Author: knowen87

I would treat the marine pure block like it is a rock. Just put it in the sump and leave it there. You can cut them to fit that is fine. Let us know if this clears up for you. ]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2018 09:47:34 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=84780&PID=633839&title=help-please#633839 <![CDATA[Help please.! : By the way, I bought a big triangle...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=84780&PID=633837&title=help-please#633837 Author: Hugo

By the way, I bought a big triangle marine pure from BRS. It is 12inch long, 10inch height and about 5 inch thick. Will it still be ok if i cut it to a smaller size to fit it in my sump ? In addition, when you leave the marine pure in your sump, do u have to take it out and rinse it one in a while, or you just leave it there til something happen ?

I like what @knowen87 says. I would also add that if you have a UV sterilizer you could run that and it will help remove a bacterial bloom. ]]> Tue, 30 Oct 2018 20:11:37 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=84780&PID=633835&title=help-please#633835 <![CDATA[Help please.! : Are you dosing a full amount of...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=84780&PID=633834&title=help-please#633834 Author: knowen87

Are you dosing a full amount of Dr Tim's? It sounds like you are skimming quite a bit if stuff out for only having two little fish. I would bet that it is the Dr Tims. If you have some live rock and the water has been in there several weeks you have enough bacteria for the fish. I think you have too much bacteria in the water, the last thing you want to do is add more.
I have dealt with too many particulates in the sand before and the skimmate came out with a chalky residue and the problems didn't last that long. 
My suggestion is 1) Stop dr tims for now. 2) do as big of a water change as you can manage. 3) keep skimming as much as you can to reduce bateria populations. 4) add the marine pure for more surface area. I have had mine in for close to a year and they have not melted.

@knowen: I use buble magus curve 7 so I usually have to dumpt it out every 2 or 3 days. My kimmate often yellowish, but somtimes it gets dark too. I have bought a big chunk of marine pure sphere but I have heard that its gonna melt down and make a mess in your sump after a while of use, so I dont dare to use it.

@Adam: I havent done that. I have feather algea down in my sump. Will it be ok if I turn the pump of for 2days ?

@Hogie: I have everything set up at the first day.
