Notice how no cure approach so far has been evaluated after a rip clean, they’re all polar opposite of
That means results might change when you evaluate methods in a cloudless system
If we polled any reef author in history up till possibly recently the idea of a rip cleaning was the worst idea ever and they would never recommend it, so why should it be considered / agreed
Because many tanks are invaded and they’re outpacing uninvaded ones, we need progressing science, and we need people willing to stack work for pattern watch.
There are patterns in data linked below:
1. We don’t care about name brand of anything and it doesn’t factor in cures. Finding a willing poster is what determines cures. If they’re open to a rip clean then they’re cured apparently
api, Red Sea, instant ocean, reef crystals, Fiji pink, ocean direct, Home Depot sand, tropic marine, oceanic, Kent, *lighting name brand* tank name brand sandbed name brand salifert we don’t care or need it to help...we need to know the gallons of your tank and whether or not you are willing to be uninvaded
2. The invaders aren’t hard to beat, it’s the keeper resolve that matters. Most want to store up invaders then do the least possible in order to gain ground out of fear of what bacteria can tolerate, we didn’t, keepers give kick back when you instruct them to go against what the masses would do or what authors said was okay.
3. We don’t need your parameters measured for nitrate and phosphate to fix your tank. For pages. Nutrient tuning is for growback prevention, we reset your tank like day 1. How you reef going forward is up to you, we’re a time machine going backwards to day one without you killing the tank (skip cycle work)
Sandbeds cured

Peroxide work, which is not dosing peroxide into the tank water.

Those two threads, the before and after pics in them, are the basis for the recommended approach. This system is powerful for nanos and hard to run on large tanks due to sheer size
Reef tank invasions are a matter of psychology long before they’re a matter of biology, neato fact emerging from the non safe zone of live time tank works. The cause of every invasion we show is simple hesitation which is a choice
Hesitation because:
-Touch a sandbed and the tank could cycle. So we fixed that, now you can touch
-you can’t remove rocks in the air it will cycle. Fixed, I drain my reef for half an hour on video there and it’s 13 yrs of coral.
-peroxide will cause a cycle. Fixed, there’s seven years of work linked. Use it however you want it never affects your cycle. Using it wrong affects your non bacterial systems.
-you can’t do a water change on dinos they’ll bloom. Fixed, how many posters have dinos due to having them rinse their sandbeds in tap water and do a 100% water change?
Reef rules are so flexible. The fact you have a nano means you’re as good as cured. If you have to do more than one rip clean since all priors haven’t been ran, then this changes the way you nano reef from here on out, you’ll be instructing the tank on how to behave you won’t be waiting and hoping. You will be commanding it w pics to prove
Scraping half a portion of rock clean and some rinse peroxide is easy, no big work to at least see what your new cleared window does compared to other areas over time
The act of prepping the single spot for observation is the first in the series of choices to be uninvaded. Doesn’t have to progress any further than the single spot. You’ll truly know something about the invader at that point, a few days later, if it was worth the initial work. That spot might stay clean
. So from the time you let it be to all Dino’s @ GHA left how long was it?? I believe I have Bryopsis though not gha
