Did you print the housings yourself or buy them? From where?

You are probably right, though in their documentation they specifically say orthophosphate is what is measured in test kits and they say you use their ratio with test kit numbers, I think.

If you were asking me; Say nitrate is 5 mg/L and phosphate is 0.05 mg/L (units are as it comes off our tests). The FM ratio is 100, which is dead-on their target ratio. Converted to molar ratio (N : P instead of nitrate : phosphate), you multiply by 1.53 = molar ratio of 153, which is higher...

Charles @CharlesJohns58 can clarify for us if he’d like to. My take was: (hobby nitrate in mg/L) % (hobby phosphate in mg/L) X 1.53. Want value to be 50-100. It’s possible I’m missing something?

From what I’ve read from FM, they recommend target of 100:1 without the molar correction factor (just ratio of the mg/L numbers like we get when we test). So for example 3 mg/L nitrate and 0.03 mg/L ortho-phosphate would be perfect to them (yes they recommend those relatively low absolute...

There’s a straightforward way of making sure everyone uses your own reagent if what you really care about is safety and quality. Just sell the reagent at cost, cheaper than it would be worth any 3rd party to sell it for so that the reagents are not part of the revenue stream, just the unit is...

Nice offering!

I would like a frag of this one. @rye22, @psidriven, @JVU, have requested a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Awesome Tu

The ones I got from my BC battle box were lame and I just threw them out after growing them for a while. So I wouldn’t beat yourself up Mike.

Agree it definitely isn’t Bryopsis, and looks like some kind of green hair algae. Why are your herbivores not eating it? I don’t know. I’ve never actually had much luck with herbivores eating unwanted algae to the point of controlling it. Despite the current in vogue trend that they are always...

If you also siphon that into filter socks in the sump you can do it for as long as you need to without being limited by the amount of water you are changing

Yep. The security certificate needs to be updated, happens on a regular basis. Or maybe one of these times it’ll be someone is trying to steal our info. @yosemiteclimber

Sounds like a challenge

The things we can test for (including ICP) and the things we add as supplements and equipment are a tiny fraction of what’s going on in a healthy reef tank. When we upgrade tanks and take everything from our old tank and put in a new larger tank, generally it’s fine on day 1. When we put lots...
