I am currently keeping NO3 at 5ppm and PO4 at 0.02. I dose nitrates to keep them at that level. I definitely think that coloration is better with some Nitrates in the tank.

experimenting with dinos

I LOVE to experiment!
I currently am finding the dose with fenbendazol for flatworm. Too much kills them within 24 hours lol

I have one HUGE problem.. I am out of planaria !!

Hey Russ I will pay you to ship me some dinos!
I will find a more effective and efficient cure for them

ouch. why i always keep a melanarus wrasse in all my tanks. never had a flatworm yet.

getting dinos off my rockwork is posing a challenge. they never get big enough to make slimy snot strands due to the UV...but i still see the bubbles.

pondering the use of ozone.

I'm serious I can find a cure for them!
Name your price
I am all about finding cures and now that I am retired at 40 that's all I can do!

ahahaha
these guys would probably die before they hit your house. i can cultivate them in the fuge if you really really want them though.

they died out in my wife's tank when i transfered the sps though. not sure why. was like they grew a ton for 24 hours in her tank and then poof. they were gone.

Russ I want to help with this issue!
There should be no reason why people take tanks to such drastic measures.
I will pay your time to grow out and pay you to ship them.
Keep it in mind, I never stop my research

no need to pay me. lemme cultivate them enough for you to have something to work with though. they grow pretty quickly in there.

pm me an address

ive also stopped dosing nitrate for a while so it should be at or close to 0.

edit-

ah i forgot. i dosed 10ml sept 2nd to get it up to 4.5ppm. its at 1.5ppm now.
