Oh! no skimmer.....Carbon dosing needs; requires, a means of exporting the growing bacteria. If you don't do this, you're simply growing bacteria that eventually dies and recycles the N, P and C in you tank. The big question mark is what, if anything, does floss remove in the way of bacteria...

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Changing the filter floss isn't going to impact bacterial growth. It might slightly help in removing some of the bacteria associated with the detritus, but your skimmer will be doing the majority of this "exporting." Whatever carbon you are using...

Dosing the DIY version is the same as the commercial NOPOX. To summarize, it's between 1-3 mls for each 25 gallons. When first starting I'd do 1ml per 25g for the first week. If it looks good, up to 2mls per 25g for the second week. And finally, go to 3mls per 25g....until...

Where did you see that? The only crossover I've seen was an MP10 WETSIDE on a Jebao DRYSIDE.

@diana a , by chance do you have an Ecotech MP40? What I'm interested in is whether or not a Jecod wetside would work with an Ecotech dryside. I've already seen that a Jecod dryside will work with an Ecotech wetside, but I'm interest in the reverse. I'm done buying Ecotech wetsides....I...

The large clubs only sell known branded booze...not the least expensive. You want the no-name rot-gut vodka.....a Travelers, Taaka, or one that actually tells you it's good.... These are THE BEST vodka's $12.99 or $13.99 you can buy....for 1.75 liters. Believe me, the bacteria won't be...

There's a pretty big thread going over on R2R: The Ecotech pump clones have arrived in Ali Express !!! I'm pretty sure I saw @diana a 's name in that thread.....if she is Fishface NJ on R2R.

Darn, I must have missed this debate!!! Is the debate "Sauce" versus "Gravy" when it comes to that stuff you put on your pasta? This isn't a Jersey thing, I think it's more of a real Brooklyn (NYC) Gumba thing. I don't mean to pick on NYC, but the only time I've heard the debate or use...

I've been carbon dosing for years....albeit a combination of vodka and vinegar (a DIY NOPOX). My suggestion is to start slow and build up to your final dose over a couple weeks. The reason is that every cell/organism can metabolize "carbon" (my PhD focused on the metabolism of alcohol in the...

If I don't hear any interest by Monday, they are going to the trash bin. :oops:

Free to a good home, seven, 7" socks. Note, the two on the left have beat up rings from the washing machine, but still work fine (in my sock holder) Pick up in Sayreville.

Wow! That's a MICRO pump....recommended dose of 0.01 milliliters. That's 10 μl...that's microliters. To give you an idea, a drop of water is around 50 μl. Who is dosing such small amounts? My guess is that these overpriced pumps are going to be discontinued. BRS still has them...

Mickey, your other option is to use a coupling/reducer....assuming threaded on both sides:

OP states Delran, 08075

I dose Dr. Randy's DIY two part (since 2008) and DIY NOPOX, all using BRS 1.1 ml dosing pumps controlled by a ReefKeeper II. The BRS pumps have "real" peristaltic pump heads and are bulletproof. I was never a fan of those mini pump heads....looked cheap.

It's been years....and I'm terrible with time....maybe 10-12 years ago, we'd donate $$, I think around 5000, to Ken Nedimyer of Coral Restoration FOundation. We did that at least twice because both times he came up and gave a talk, which was extremely interesting. Some of our club members...

Is that the inlet port for the pump? If so, yes, you need that. If you can't find that part, I'd first see if a Uniseal would work:

Bob, check out my post on R2R HERE , where I talk about buying a Dow membrane from Amazon, and a CFS labeled membrane shows up that has a Dow label. Unfortunately I paid Dow prices while I could have purchased a CFS membrane at half the cost. And FYI, the CFS membrane with Dow label is...

You see a beach; I see a blocked inlet. "Hello, Army Corp of Engineers, break out the dredges."

Paul, I'm curious if you've ever checked the N's and P's of your Long Island Sound Water? Part of the reason I ask is that I use to consult for environment stuff, and a number of my clients were golf courses. What was found is that turf grass is extremely efficient in removing N's and P's...
