    Are you planning rotifers or brine? If not, you dont need the sieve. Phyto is just green water. You can split the colony, add appropriate salinity fresh salt mix and F2 for food and just keep growing phyto. Just be sure to try and keep things sanitary. Quickest way to crash the colony. Once you...

    ICP testing?

    I swear I saw someone mention a specific ICP test that included 2 vials. One for tank and one to test freshly made RODI water. All I can find is this one with 2 vials, but instructions say fill both with tank water. Do people just ignore that and fill one with tank water and one with RODI...

    Sump needed ASAP

    if thats one nice clean break, weldon 4 or weldon 16 would instantly save that piece. Get the smallest can you can buy. The stuff doesnt have a super long shelf life as it evaporates after opening, for me anyway. BUT used many times and all you do is line up the pieces and use the included...

    Anyone hatching/raising their clown eggs/larve?

    Phytoplankton Culturing

    I also used the Nanochloropsis from Mercer of Montana with their F2 fertilizer. I used an old string led wrapped around a 2 liter bottle that was rinsed our with soapy water, flushed, then some rubbing alcohol, and flushed again. I run mine 24 hours with a light air flow. Only reason I started...
