My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
Growth is dependent on flow/light/nutrients and chemistry such as alk and CA. You can bring Mag to 1400 and DK to 8.5. Tank is doing well, so you have to ask. . . Make the adjustment OR keep it stable?Hello,
I have always used 2 caps of garlic guard (every feeding), with vitality as well which is 2 caps as well. I have not seen the Kent zoe or Tropic all in one. Definitely will look them up if I can get one instead of two and the price is cheaper. Food is quiet a bit more but for obvious reasons. I find myself lucky, of the people lucky to be given one, I was thee only person to get mine to eat. Others in lfs chimed in thinking they were wild caught so to size and that they constantly only grazed. Of course they always say eating great lol. I was never able to see any of them eat, before the one given to me was brought home. Now lol the aquarium wants me to explain to their staff how I did it. Simply kept adding food, and I tried every frozen food possible, and red, Brown, green nori. Even now not sure he eats the nori, maybe nibbles, but usually turbo snails some how manage to get to it. It always gets broken off and something eats it. I use to do a whole strip, nkw just half so it’s not wasted.
Trying to find motivation to untangle cords etc and make them pretty. Some reason it’s not there, but hoping it comes back soon. There has been some good growth in my tank, but also small growth. It total sounds contradictory lol, example the Jedi mind trick on the right grows really fast, but now my plating chalices, tequila sunrise, mystic sunset, red plating monti (which grows stupid fast,) really have not grown a lot since the move. Flow pumps are the same and I can’t put my finger on what the difference is. Most were placed in the same section fairly relative. But my Hollywood stunner has gone bananas. I would normally break that up and trade it but, st the moment is the main hiding spot for my new Naso. So I’d rather not place stress on him. My stinging Duncan and elegance are not struggling, but have not opened up like they use to. Which if I have nitrates and phosphates those usually do very well. I have two green softies, that went from tiny to an oak tree and no idea how to trim them. Yet my frogskin, myagyi tote grow great. But others have not made such advancements. It’s to the point do I mess with it and risk the ones doing great to get those and end up with the same problem, or they all go bad. Doesn’t make sense why Jedi mind trick is growing insane but Miami hurricane isnt, or pink ******* are both stagnant. Especially the other plating chalices or montiporas. I have reef roids and that adds lots of stuff. But hesitate because I am trying to get rid of the gha. Trimming seems to help, spreading has slow downed some. But maybe from me manually grabbing it. It’s not super long so grabbing with fingers is kinda hard.
curious to if I should increase the whites on my leds or decrease them. They both work for different reasons but my other acans are growing good and making new ones, as well. I am picky and want all of the corals to grow well. I like the natural full reef, not fond of small sticks.
For light. . . You can do a test by simply increasing Blue 5% every other day for 10 days and see what color and response you get. If no New results, you can revert back to original lighting and increase the white 5% every three days and again see what response you get.
Here is All In One Reef info:
- Features:
Overall mineral supply for reef aquariums
ALL-FOR-REEF is an easy- to-use, highly concentrated solution for the supply of ALL essential minerals and trace elements in new or moderately stocked reef aquariums.
Minerals are consumed through the growth of organisms and other processes in the aquarium and must therefore be supplemented regularly. These include mainly the necessary elements calcium, magnesium and strontium and carbonate hardness elements for the growth of the calcareous skeletons of stony corals, red coralline algae and other reef organisms. ALL FOR REEF contains all these components in highly concentrated form and also contains the most important trace elements: Iodine, bromine and fluorine for growth and stabilization of the skeletons of stony corals, sponges and crustaceans; selenium to eliminate free radicals; molybdenum and vanadium for the establishment of important enzyme complexes.
With these components, coordinated in their concentration ratio, ALL-FOR-REEF creates excellent care conditions in only one solution. No additional compounds are created (e.g. sodium chloride) that alter the salinity or the ion balance.
Ingredients: Organic calcium salts, salts of magnesium, trace elements (barium, boron, bromine, chrome, cobalt, copper, fluorine, iodine, iron, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, strontium, vanadium and zinc in pure mineral form)
