From snakes to fish

This scares me. My coral did not like NeoNitro dosing after a few months. I decided to just let the reef reef and not interfere.

I’ve used it before with no ill effects but what k haven’t been doing is dosing AB+ as I was with the old 40b, maybe that was my secret lol I dosed 10ml daily

Perhaps the 1-2 combo. I am still looking for the konami code.

Ye it’s fun when the tank runs off just vibes , no measurements lol

Another difference that I may need to adapt for is my sand , in old tank it was half an inch. Now my sand is 6 inches deep , this could be breaking down all the nitrate quickly along with refugium hmmmm

Tank is consuming nitrate and phosphates together. When one bottoms the other climbs. Your phosphates will continue to drop(as you add nitrate) and nitrates will be close to zero until the balance of two have leveled off

I was thinking that but didn’t know if it was true , I also put 6 drops of lanthium chloride into skimmer cup just to help it along. I do think higher nitrate by Atleast 10x phosphate is good for tanks. You can see the brown algae on my glass this really only happens when my phosphate is high vs nitrate

The brown algae let’s me know when mine are off too. My tank is happy with nitrate around 10-15 and phosphates under 1 and over .03

I agree with you 10:1 ratio is a good baseline. They say the 16:1 is the red field ratio but ime 10:1 is where I start to see things turning back around.

 

[dvgyfresh]

Yes that’s what I’m aiming for on the low end lol it’s proving to be hard currently i feed 2-3 frozen cubes mysis a day / sheet of nori and some pellets / 10 ml seachem phytoplankton

Sold off green zoa rock allowed me to redo aqua scape , made a place for fish to easily hide now and some spam

 

[dvgyfresh]

Sold some more rocks and bought a condy , who knew they could be green?! Lol I thought it would be purple/ white still welcome all the same

 

[NowGlazeIT]

Nice! Where’d the rock come from? Sump?

It has been in display but it was underneath the rocks before , was using as a base lol got some more maturing to do still

Oh nice okay I ask because I’m in the process of adding more too.

 

[NowGlazeIT]

This stuff is taking forever to cure hah

 

[dvgyfresh]

Bubble coral stil doing well just no color and small BTA found on rock, will be target feeding it so it can get bigger

Whenever I add rock I just add to DT lol maybe it’s wrong but all the other rocks really help mature it faster without needing tank to cycle

Last time I did that my tank got upset hah I’d love to just chuck it in the sump but I guess it’s pretty dirty

 

[dvgyfresh]

When I did tank transfer I added all these rocks to the DT , didn’t cure or anything . Still had some dead bristle worms in it haha

Bacteria..STRONG. You got a healthy set up to be able to take that bio load on!
