Anyone happen to have a small fish trap? I have had a blue azure damsel that’s around ten years old and he is fine with the tank mates that he was added with however the sixline that I had passed away and he will terrorize any other wrasse I try to add. My tank is a small 29 gallon biocube that...
Everyone’s super happy after a minor water change with some nice reef crystal. Thanks again @mnat for
Coming in clutch, the corals appreciate it. I have dropped my water changes from a 6 gallon water change to a 4 or 5 gallon in attempts to let more nitrates build up. After removing some favias...
Thank you guys, I may buy another dosing unit and test out trying nitrate dosing since my tank is very small and struggle to keep up with nutrients for corals to grow. I throw in reefenergy randomly at different doses and just watch how the algea on a dead coral grows, so it’s very inconsistent
That’s a nice one, I tried one once and it didn’t last at all dried up and detached. Reguardless of all the other corals I can go that one wasn’t one. I need to get my hand on a naturally split tank raised.
In the end, it’s better to just throw them on the rocks and let them encrust and grow on there. They will grow a lot faster instead of battling each other on the frag rack, trust me I know, now my frags are to top heavy to get them to stay on wet rock...
I read a study in r2r that when you ship out water for the icp tests the phosphate numbers would change in the bottle in shipping so I would always take the icp results with a little bit of skepticism.
I throw about 4 ml of reef energy to a 29biocube everyday and my nitrates and phosphates don’t budge at all. But I would assume at some point a a breaking point may be reached and when the levels rise they will rise fast so be careful with it.
