Got the Dangest things going on

[ZoWhat]

do you run a UV steralizer?

No..... I dose tetraselmis phyto at night. UVC would certainly kill it off before it became beneficial. Too much ying and yang

 

[OrchidMiss]

Send me one!

me too!

Let’s see some pictures of the issue at hand…

@PeterC99 @najer

Okay the NEGATIVE person inside me just jumped out. What happens if this Oxydator container fails and the entire content of h2o2 leaks out?

Does Randy Holmes Farley get to slap me backhanded across my face?

You would have to be really, really spastic for the hydrogen peroxide to leak out. It has this orange, lockable, twist cap that secures the top. Smart design so that it’s idiot proof - even for me!

Let’s see some pictures of the issue at hand…

Perfect example..... NOW the mounting disc is brand new from Oceans Wonders since @kittenbritches convinced me my Travertine tiles from a hardware store were bad news bears

The above zoas have been this way for 2mos.

I have investigated:

Lighting
PAR
Flow
Calc
ALK
Mag
NO3
PO4
Iodine
Iodide
Potassium
Phyto
pH
Using Bacto Balance to manage no3 po4
Treating tank with DETOX on metals
Quick dip in h2o2
Potential nippers (urchins)

Just about everything I could dream up over the last 6wks

Im now trying this Oxydator to add o2 to the water volume

I have not tried dosing amino but I mix in reefroids into my food mush so I know the tank is getting plenty of protein/amino bc roids are in every mush feeding.

I'm about to burn my house down and retire to Florida

Huh… I mean you are a zoa guy. If you can’t grow them then what’s the point

 

[MillennialReefer]

Don’t think it ever needs cleaning. Seriously! Haven’t touched mine in 8 months and looks like new.

7 inches tall and 3 inches wide.

I use 12% hydrogen peroxide bought off Amazon. Just needs to be food grade.

Haven’t replaced catylist yet but assume I will replace when the hydrogen peroxide doesn’t get used up and converted to oxygen. Believe catylist will last a very long time.

Do you dilute the 12% down? Im really thinking of getting one on my system! Actually, its already in my cart just need to click check out lol

I just keep zoas moving thru distribution... I promised nothing about growing them

Have you plopped an airstone in the tank?

I started by diluting 50% but quickly went to full 12%.

You won’t regret the purchase!

Air stone? For what?

Air stone only recirculates the OLD air. Oxydator puts oxygen back into your aquarium!

I'm lobbing hand grenades at this point.

I use to use an airstone at the base of my Vortex and blow micro bubbles across the tank.... and I had happy growth.

Not sure why I stopped that practice like a year ago.

I'm back to blowing microbubbles again..

I plan to put the Oxydator under the powerhead

My evil plan is to have so much growth my zoa "Audrey2" will look like this:

So your daughter will major in marine biology to solve all your reef problems?

She better start majoring in
MAKE YOUR DAM BED and DO YOUR OWN LAUNDRY

Then she can show me all my misconceptions
