Is this a case of too many too fast? Anyways adding some corals and some of them will eventually move out. Surprised the SPS are doing fine will see if they brown out with the high nutrient levels.
Since I am setting stuff back up I now need either a 29 or 40B tank for a sump. I want to post it here first before I pick one up @Petco. If you have one laying around let me know. Within 20 mins drive of Holmdel, 07733. Thanks.
Measure phosphate, .56. So it has gone up greatly. There is no fish. I fed the tank coral snow. Will stop doing that. Coral are happy. Any ideas on nutrient export?
Plan on moving, broke down tanks. Setting up a 10 gallon nano for some tank separation anxiety relief!
The tank is a standard IM Nuevo 10. Nothing fancy. Stock 18w LED (we will say how that goes). Eheim 600 return pump. Eheim full-size ATO (manage to get one one the float switch into the return...
Throughout my reef keeping career I have always changed things around. I look at the aquariums I like and try to come up with my version of it. When I am done I move on to the next project. Think about what you like to do and make it a project both your son and you will joy. BTW it's great your...
Did you just take GFO offline? It takes a while. I would measure every few days and see. You might need to dose phosphate if it continue to be low. But take it slow.
I would say if you can drink from it more than likely it’s safe for the tank. Think about diluting 5ml of residual Arizona ice tea in a big tank of salt water.
I use a different vinegar/vodka ratio. There is really no scientific proof which is better than the other. Just make sure you remember the ratio you have used. My understanding is that vinegar is easier for the bacteria to use so it is consumed quicker, hence the mixing. But I might be wrong.
Take the GFO offline you will see the nitrate level slowly comes down. You should see some white bacteria film growing on the underside of rocks if it’s working. Skimmer production will increase. this takes time initially so need to be patient.
