Careful, that rack might burst into flames with all that fire!

Hmmm.....

 

[Joe462]

what sort of nutrient export options would you suggest exploring?

Not sure, GFO is the most effective I have found but you have to change it out, try to keep track of when it is exhausted. Can you add more live (or dry) rock to your tank or sump? Might help some. Refugium might help, but most of these will also pull nitrates. So if you can reduce your source of phosphate that might be the most beneficial

getting crowded there Stefano

Ha he set up another tank plenty of room

 

[robanister]

Careful rox carbon may strip water they say

Of what?

I’ve got room. I’m definitely planning on moving at least some of them to rocks. Most recent FTS

alright for sure, thank you. yah, i know my phosphates are doing a world of damage to the system i can try to add more rock to the display and sump for sure, i need to rescape the display anyways. oh shoot, this just dawned on me, but i wonder if the biobricks i have in the sump are contributing to this, i wouldn't be surprised at all if they are.

@Thuan i for sure need to get a larger CUC, my 6 hermits aren't cutting it lol. man i wish shane still sold that big snail pack.

What would be the best cuc for @sadrobotz . i personally don't like emerald crabs because they've picked on my corals before. I love trochus and astrea and hermit. What about Nassarius

 

[Kasrift]

ok, will do

I'd be cautious with that, GFO drops it quick which is detrimental. I'd try Tropic Marin ElimiNP. I use it on my 10g frag tank. That one just has a hang on back filter and phos runs high in it. The ElimiNP drops both nitrates and phos in even levels. I like using it so far.

Easy answer? Reefcleaners pack.

Fuzzy chitons and conch snails.

I also like ninja star snails, they seem to do well. Crowie, but he hasn't had them in awhile.

Only thing I don't like in the pack deals are the dwarf ceriths.

 

[andrewj1212]

Same equipment, fish load, feeding?

Yep everything is the same. Both tanks are fine so slow on diagnosing it but still tbd

 

[AKL1950]

Torch gallery . The only non SBB one has the yellow tips with dark tentacles

I think I finally got the flow right for mine. They are getting big fast. May have to get a couple more buddies for the. Maybe try another Cotton Candy

 

[andrewj1212]

My two systems are .3 and the other is .02. .3 is the older system. Haven’t figured out why the difference

Just moved all my torches to the tank with .3 phosphates and holy smokes they’re twice the size they normally are

If my phosphate was that high I would want to bring it down fast. Less detrimental than having phosphate at those concentrations. Also with most reactors you can control the flow, and reduce the phosphate slowly if you desire

 

[robanister]

Of what?

not sure but there are many articles on R2R on it and SPS. Something about DOC binding and light shock.

We are finally fixing that dang proxy bid error and now the true proxy 1st to hit the high number will win

So does that mean proxy will win over bid now?
