I've been doing it for about a week now and there seems to be very little effect on staghorn. I think the problem is the UV sterilizer is recking this compound before it has a chance to work.

So I'm starting over but this time I'm diconnecting the UV for 10 days. This staghorn is nasty. It feels like a worm between my fingers when i pick it out of the tank...

nasty stuff.
