    Reef2reef sucks and discriminates

    The below link is to the R2R terms of service. I don’t see anything mentioned about not allowing discrimination (I might have missed it). Maybe we could ask for that to be added as I believe it is discrimination in general that we would like to have stop. They do mention no political...

    New product reveal!

    Nice lights, but for the price, I will stick with my 8 bulb t5 fixture. I can’t justify spending 3K to change to LED. I can do 15 years of t5 bulb changes for that price. I think LED lighting is overpriced and always tries to emulate t5 anyways. Energy savings isn’t much either.

    NO3/PO4 Help

    Thank you all for the great information. I learned a lot this morning. I will try NOPOX starting with a very low dose. I certainly don’t want to rush things. I will also test nitrate and phosphate at least weekly to monitor. Thanks again for the help!

    NO3/PO4 Help

    This is really interesting. I thought that algae just consumed nitrate and phosphate. You say it creates organic carbon out of CO2. My assumption is that bacteria would use this carbon just like it would use NOPOX. Is this true? Does algae both absorb the nitrate and phosphate to grow and...

    NO3/PO4 Help

    Any recommendation on a phosphate supplement to add when I start to get phosphate limited? I don’t want to bottom out phosphate when reducing the nitrate. My ration is about 376:1 nitrate to phosphate. N 64 P 0.17

    NO3/PO4 Help

    I have been considering NOPOX. When reading about it, people seem to be pretty mixed. From my research, it seems like it would reduce nitrate/phosphate in the redfield ratio. Being that my nitrate is 64+ and phosphate .17, it seems I would run out of phosphate pretty early into reducing nitrate...

    NO3/PO4 Help

    The tank is 240 gallons (about 280 total water volume). That’s about a 20% change a month (I don’t do AWC on the weekend because of the DOS noise). I only use Tropic Marin Part C with BRS 2 part. No recent ICP test has been done. I guess I should do one.

    NO3/PO4 Help

    My tank generally looks good but my coral have been browning and not growing. My numbers are as follows: Alk 8.5 CA 440 Mg 1300 Nitrate 64+ (topped out Red Sea Pro kit) Phosphate .17 I believe my issue is the high nitrate and phosphate. I battled 0 nitrate and phosphate for a long time. I fed...

    Do you guys use a filter sock or roller mat?

    I don’t use any mechanical filtration. I just use a garden hose to siphon my sump clean. I run it out to the front yard.

    Looking for Chaeto

    svreef, thanks for the bag of Chaeto. It is very healthy. I hope it grows as good for me as it does for you. Was nice to meet you this weekend.

    Best way to get rid of a single aiptasia?

    I have not tried this but what about touching it to make it shrink and then putting a blob of epoxy over it?

    No problems. They were all added at the same time and all get along well. I feed a lot which I think prevents aggression. I feed 6-8 cubes of food and two large sheets of nori a day.
