This sort of goes with my aiptasia post a few minutes ago. I had to remove all media due to aiptasia on the bags. To keep the stuff "live" I stuck the bags in the 45g which is coming down, along with all macro algae.
any way, I have a lot of various media bags
siproax
nyos zeo
denitrate
ceramic bio spheres
matrix
rubble rock in bags
I figure the denitrate is just providing live surfaces for good bacteria, and maybe the siproax and matrix as well
Question is do I need this much. Some of this came from the tank I upgraded from so wanted the live stuff to get new tank started. I also have ceramic balls. Still in sump
My numbers are
No3 1.8
PO4 .09
I am dosing neophose and neonitrate a couple times a week.
My chaeto has almost stopped growing, the ulva lettuc is looking good. Maybe I don't need these either?
I don't want to totally take it all out and suddenly have a no3 issue.
My plan is to inspect each bag and rinse and scrub off any aiptasia. And put back what I think I need.
Ssee the other post for the aiptasia issue which led to me taking all this out
