Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Thanks Tim!!! I agree on no more than a month for a bottle to keep alive. I will go with the 6 ounce bottle. This stuff is fantastic btw; noticed a difference in tank in comparison to Algae Barn Ocean Magik. Which is still a good product.
I agree with Kevin though, Dinkins is my favorite!
 
ok, this is going to be the most embarrassing thing I will ask from a reef-keeping perspective. I have spent the last 20 minutes trying to figure out math and what size bottle to order along with dosing a particular product and I just can't figure it out. Because it's Phyto, I can't be making huge measurement mistakes. So here goes:

Reef Nutrition - Live Phyto. It says to does 1-5 teaspoons daily for a 100 gallon tank. My tank's total water volume is 92, before you account for rocks and sand. I am currently dosing 2 teaspoons a day.

I'd like to setup a subscription and not sure what size bottle and how many weeks in-between shipments. The options on bottles are: 6oz, 16oz, 32oz.

Thank you and let the jokes commence.
I am -100% help at math...

Yeah, I’m using a lot of RN’s products right now and it makes sense to do a subscription with them. I’ve considered Dinkins and Reef Legends and am open to switching if needed. I’m not a die hard on a particular Phyto.
 
Thank you! I sat a good 30 minutes watching the sixline wrasse going in and out of little holes in the rocks.
That is all they do all day until lights out and they head into the sand and make a mucus cocoon.
 
I need to take some new photos but here's a few after I did a minor re-scape a few months ago. I'll take a picture after I feed tomorrow; I have sooo many babies right now.

I haven't seen mine go into the sand yet.
Mine has found so many swim throughs in my rock structure; it's funny, I didn't realize most of them connected like they do until he started cruising around.

I haven't seen mine go into the sand yet either.
 
Love the 20 longs! I have one that is not setup currently but has been used many times over the years. Lol
Mine is only 6 gallons because it sits on my desk.

I can’t think of a better way to spend a 1/2 hour- so happy for you
