I feel like this is irrelevant and I love my Waterbox. I think any tank can be for anyone I know smaller tanks like super teeny tiny think pico jars are hard. The only reason I got myself in this situation in the first place was because I overstocked it…it’s so hard not to lol.
We ALL get a taco!Ahh, she's a smart one for sure!
I got one also and i recongize the pattern I'm reading on here.
I actually dig them. Had the 30.2 aio for about a year and loved it. It limits the hell out of what you can do, but it's simple and small footprint.
If she doesn't have a media tray, then no. It's just a drain chamber iirc...
Remember, a lotta threads to go through here!
30 nitrates and phosphates 0.8 last I tested dosing did bring nitrates down from 50. They seem to hover around there I couldn’t get it lower. I typically dose every few days. Again I just added way too much. I stopped dosing for a bit to try chaeto which died on me because I don’t have a refugium and tried my coral light which didn’t work.
? I've read through her build, this thread and her other one just posted today. What am I missing lol's. Ah, I see a bunch more. I'd rather get updated info here today lol's or not maybe worth my time to try to help
with a tank your size, you could achieve more by doing some water changes. Also, your po4 is .8? Not .08? If it is .8 that is mega high! What is your alk, ca and mg? Do you dose those? nopox doesn't do as much for po4 and I think doing some big wc's would be faster for your no3.
Calcium hovers between 430-450 and magnesium around 1055. I am. My nutrients are bottomed out now thus the bacterial bloom those tests were before the overdose. The bloom is gone so those results are no longer accurate.
Bacteria bloom isn't going to affect those numbers, except make them higher but won't affect alk/ca/mg. You should be testing weekly. And I'd test all of those, including alk tonight
I have no idea probably the probes got covered in it and it was inaccurate but all I know is everything dropped when I did it. And it did in fact negatively affect my inhabitants.
NOPOX overdose will absolutely bottom out nutrients and cause a bacterial bloom or dinos.
It will cause a bloom, but if your not actively skimming it out (wet skim) it ain't pulling any nutrients nor the nopox out.
That’s an Aquaspin test. And for now I’m going to go on vacation and deal with my tank when I get back.
