I'd like to get a few other reefers experiences with this stuff when used against bryopsis. Maybe theres a pattern in there. I have three, the first of which i don't have my nitrate and phosphate numbers for, but when i dosed tech m, about 100ppm a day, 4 days straight, i also had gfo running...
So far it's looking like i can make this one. I'll be bringing my 15 month old, he's getting pretty good at fragging corals, he can give you a hand at the shop. Should i bring anything?
i know most condenser setups use copper tubing, i'm unsure if it will leach or not, i've never looked into it. if that doesn't work some sturdy tubing like you would use on a reactor, the plastic stuff, might work as long as it doesn't kink. beyond that i'm unsure at this time. do you have a...
What kind of fish do you have? An auto feeder is a cheap and good investment, when i left my tank for 3-4 days i bought an eheim and had it feed the tank once a day with NLS pellets. If you don't have demanding fish like i did at the time, a once a day feeding would be more than enough, i...
i'd say peppermint, but they've been known to piss off and even eat or tear up some lps corals. i know i had two that would piss off my acans and even ate a feather duster. anytime i would feed the tank, if lps got a hold of some food, they would be on top of them pulling the food out of their...
Heres the comparison photos from a few days, what's left is a lot of hair algae, which i'm working on and slowly it's going down. First one is as of this morning, last one was taken on saturday. The rocks that were mostly effected were the ones on the bottom left and right, and the one in the...
Well, here's what i found with bryopsis. First time i was carbon dosing and had gfo online when i dosed tech m, melted away. Second time i dosed tech m in this tank, no carbon dosing or gfo, nothing happened, added 2 gallons. Started dosing vodka and put gfo back online for about a month to see...
might be easier just to order them, there's a site i use that usually has a good deal on a mixture, used to be called reefs2go, now it's something else. they are always bogo, sometimes with free shipping. If you are looking for copepods only like tisbe, they sell little packages of them for 16...
i do a reverse cycle as well, from 8pm to 8am, ph is still going to swing, mine will swing less once i get everything settled in. 24/7 is not good as the algae goes through a phase at night where it uses oxygen as well, i'm not sure the specifics, but i'm sure you could look it up.
Also, if you go to an asian market, they have mixed seafood bags there for like 5 bucks, just blend that up and you're good to go, make sure it's uncooked.
I think i spent maybe 15 bucks on frozen fish food and 15 on frozen seafood at walmart, i only used half the frozen seafood so i still have half of it left, and i made three flat gallon size freezer bags out of it. i would say those three bags probably cost me 20-25 total, when you consider the...
