Hello all, thanks for all the replies. I'll give you an update and answer some new questions.
#1: I stopped dosing vibrant a while ago as my green algae died and never came back. Other than dark purple/reddish cyano on lots of my rock I have no nuisance algae, even my bubble algae vanished...
Yes, the gen 1 SLAVE doser will work with the P4.
Since it is NOT a PAB-device, the initial setup steps will be different from the current dosers.
NOTE: Gen 1 dosers can dose a small at 1ml at a time and is NOT suitable for use with KHD or IOND or where 0.1ml accuracy is needed.
Option #1 :(In...
So I have 2 questions.
Question #1:
So, I've taken my clownfish out of my tank twice in trying to pair them with the new anemone and now since then whenever I put my hand in the tank, one of them is a little aggressive to it. Eyeing my hand and following it, acting as if he's about to lunge...
I would recommend 2 things... #1: Track your supply and return temps and watch for temp spreads to change. The apex can obviously do this and let you know when the temp rise goes out of the norm. #2: Track your pressure drop across the heat exchanger. When the return pressure starts to drop and...
Bonus entry #1: Tunze pumps are notoriously quiet and built to last. I would love to add these to my IM40 tank to up the flow and get rid of my somewhat loud and cheap jebo pump!
Bonus Entry #1: Checked out page. I want to win the contest because I like to keep spares of equipment I have, all though I'd probably not have to use it any time soon.
Bonus #1: This is an impressive unit that would be a welcome and much needed upgrade to my current system flow. I would love to be privileged to win this prize to improve the lives of animals I have in my 55 gallon wanna-be reef.
Bonus entry #1: Sorry the tank is temporarily setup while building my new tank so it's a little messy. Christmas decorations are hanging from my current Noopsyche K7 Pro II's!!
2 major tank crashes for me.
#1: Dinos in my Biocube. Had the tank looking great for a year and a half. Dinos came in from another tank on some macroalgae. Within 3 weeks, thick brown snot everywhere. Tried to fight it for a couple months, decided to save the fish and pull the plug.
#2: Adverse...
BONUS ENTRY #1: Check out the Tunze 6095, and make a post telling us why you want to win this contest.
I want to win this because I'm very close to setting up my tank upgrade and this would provide the perfect supplemental flow in that tank.
I only got an answer to #1: When you cycle a new tank you are establishing mostly aerobic bacteria that convert ammonia to nitrates. With this you are establishing a different type of anaerobic bacteria that takes that nitrate and turns it into nitrogen gas. This does have an aerobic zone so if...
