    A bunch of coral needs be gone this week. Alameda

    I have to clear out two tanks filled with red monti cap, utter chaos, some nepthia, gsp, and more. If you want some of it let me know, if not, I will be tossing it because I need to make room for the spawn. Let me know and thanks!

    How does fish feeding translate into nutrients? N and P specifically!

    Depends on what I am feeding! Fish, leave it. NPS, mostly leave it. LPS, turn it down. SPS, leave it.

    How does fish feeding translate into nutrients? N and P specifically!

    Thanks! I think the animals not benefiting makes sense, but most of the time nutirent levels don't make sense when connected to feeding. I think very little in the hobby can be called best practice- all systems are bespoke and different.

    How does fish feeding translate into nutrients? N and P specifically!

    For people talking about overfeeding - how are you determining you have over fed? By the animals reactions or something else?

    How does fish feeding translate into nutrients? N and P specifically!

    I am not consistent with my applications of frozen foods. I do have use autofeeders. Yes. One every tank, because I am lazy. Feeding the animals seems more important to me than keeping numbers in check. Nope. Nope. I don't think feedings should be correlated to readings. Feed what the...

    High TDS after RODI

    I would really check your DI resin, and see how your RO is performing. It is a small unit - what color is the DI resin (you are supposed to have gotten color changing resin). How much water have you made on this unit so far? Is it leaking somewhere? FYI, my tds out of the tap is like 30, and I...

    Guide: Lanthanum Chloride dosing for Phosphate control

    I use a 28% TREO solution. For my 450 total water volume, I started with 30 ml in 3000 ml DI water, and started dosing that 40 ml over 24 hours directly into the skimmer, and bumped it up until I saw the phosphate start to come down.

    Guide: Lanthanum Chloride dosing for Phosphate control

    Almost all problems I see with folks doing lanth is too much. Start really diluted, at a really slow rate and then use the phosphate results to tweak. Sneak up on it from the zero side.

    Circulation pumps that integrate with apex (not WAV)

    The sicce work well and integrate easily. Mobius with MXM isn't that bad with the orbit gyres. I have not done it with vortech, but that would be your best best for replacing a wav because they are similar. Nothing is going to be as controallble as the wav. YOu can often find them used.
