Jello shots with phyto would be pretty yummy!

Jello shots are dangerous!

I read some fancy words about my Goni “continuously filtering phytoplankton out of the water column” and yea. Bought some Phyto Feast.
@Reef Nutrition, I laughed so hard when you said it was Coca Cola you were drinking! But well done, it sold me

Not sure what’s actually happening in my tank, but I know that it stays CLEAN, my nutrient levels stay really low (.03 phosphates and undetectable nitrates last time I checked) and my algae barely grows at all. Started the tank in early February and still have minimal coralline. If it’s not live phytoplankton consuming those nutrients...what is? I feed 2-3x a day for my corals, and twice a day for fish.

@najer my good sir, the only conclusion i can make is that the stuff works!

I believe rock absorb a lot till it reaches an equilibrium.

I'm going to bow out of the thread now. It's been great chatting with everyone. If anyone wants to talk in more detail, please start a private conversation with me. Thanks for everyone's time. Sorry for all the phyto talk. LOL

No enjoyed it. Learned a lot and you have a great product.

I'm not saying it's aliens....buuut...

Please don't drink homemade phyto it can be contaminated and make one very sick.

I think we should all have a cocktail.

In my best Katrina country accent - “Cheers y’all!!”

 

[Magellan]

Phyto vodka martini Or a phytomosa?

Cheers to the phytomosa! Splash of oj, pineapple, and Phyto! Maybe it will consume all the nutrients I drink tonight

 

[NY_Caveman]

Is phytoplankton what they use to make beer green on St Patrick’s Day? Anyway, have a great New Years everyone. It’s a new decade!

 

[Katrina71]

Egg nog and salty caramel moonshine! Yummy!

I believe rock absorb a lot till it reaches an equilibrium.

I barely have any porous rock though, but I agree. Things are going suspiciously well!

Rock is porous some are more than others.

 

[Katrina71]

My ocean rock is the least porous I have.

You may want to consider an auto top off unit. It mat seem silly for a tiny tank but evaporation can cause swings in your salinity. It's important to keep the environment stable.

Find some build threads for nano tanks and you can see what other people have done.

This might be the most important. I just picked up a used Biocube 8 to use a coral quarantine and I really underestimated the evaporation. Salinity went from 1.026 to 1.032 in less than 24 hours. Luckily it’s just cycling.

My mom just got out of surgery. She had her lungs suctioned out. She is doing well. She hasn't eaten in 5 days and could barely breathe.

Hoping for a quick and full recovery.

Glad to hear Katrina.

The flu sucks big donkey balls even worse for the older folks. Good to hear you mom is doing better. I hope she gets out soon
