Icp test results show an increased level of tin and zinc. After looking through all the equipment and both tanks / sump. I have came up with it might be from rust on the garden hose I use to pump water from garage mix station to the fish room. Time to start looking for a new hose and spicket...

My first thought was, I was using to much at once in reactor and it stripped too quickly. Was dropping about .1 per week from .5 a couple months ago. At that point is when I stopped using it. I forget the exact brand, when I get home from work I’ll check the bag. Sent from my iPhone using...

Alk 7.7 Cal 470 Mag 1320 Ph 8 Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 30~ Phos .3 I have tried to use gfo in the past to lower the phosphates but have noticed the forest fire digi reacting negatively to even the slightest gfo. I tried it in a bag in the sump, and a reactor. The digi colony would start...

I haven’t given up hope. Still doing everything possible I can to ensure the safety and happiness of my livestock. Love the tanks. But so much is just a mystery when things die. Icp tests are helpful just really delayed. Between the water collection date and the results date so much has...

I did do an icp test. But they take two weeks (or more)for results. My last icp test was received around couple days ago. Everything was good except phos at .36. I did a 35g water change. To try to help stuff but that ruins all future icp tests. I a won’t be doing another icp test. I feel the...

Took the fiancés phone. It takes better quality photos. Using a filter thing so it’s not just super blue photos here’s more pics. The under side of this one turned white. Don’t know if it’s from being shaded by growth and underside dieing, or if similar to the tort. Full tank shot...

Oh, interesting. Never experienced this before. Thought all the mushy looking stuff was it’s flesh peeling off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In other news, randomly lost a Cali tort colony. I have no idea why, but the only changes I did was remove some rocks from the other tank. To pull the anemones off to do a cipro treatment (mixing nem issues). I never replaced the rocks because I wanted to do some other stuff with the...

Mostly want to get nutrient levels lower. Some people say high phos leads to unhappiness with sps. But yeah the display has no algae, maybe the herbivores just beat it too quickly. Haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve tried fuge. Can’t grow macro algae. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting. Didn’t think about that. Maybe I’ll cut the size down smaller. What would you transfer away towards? I can’t manage to grow macro algae. It just doesn’t grow. And gets covered in gha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha. That’s good your learning the behavior. My pup hasn’t quite learned about going outside yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The breeder we got her from had a few kids. And I think they carried he puppies for a long time. Entire time we were there talking and getting the pup. Two kids held other ones asleep in there arms. So I assume the dog is just used to it and comfortable. But she’s getting more brave around the...

Her name in Mowgli, from the jungle book. She is super cuddly. She likes to play for like 30 minutes. Than pass out on my lap for a hour. Haha. What is an interceptor dose? And your pup is so photogenic! Beautiful! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No I did not. Saw some people do it and others not. I made two screens. wanted to see the time difference between one roughed up and one not. I didn’t really know what size I should make. Square inch wise. Or gph for the pump. So testing this out. See if It works out or if it only grows in...

I’ve been trying a 1liter bottle diy trap. No luck so far. Haven’t even caught the wrong fish! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

sump is running with 2 m1 pumps. One at pretty high flow. Other lower Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, chaeto just doesn’t seem to want to grow in my sump. I’ve tried a few batches with not much success. It doesn’t die, it just doesn’t grown and gets covered in a “gha” looking algae. I’ve tried 24/7 light cycle and a 10 hr light cycle. No noticeable change. I tried dosing some iron /...
