Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

About all we can use anymore. I prefer to use what I like to call aquacultured live rock. None of the pests, all of the bests... I may have just come up with a business slogan. Anyone interested in becoming a potential investor?

I've got 2.62 in cash. I'm in!

Well I’ve got an idea to stack on top.

I threw the idea of saturating the rock at a specific phosphate level before adding to the tank.

He said it would definitely work.

I’d have paid a lot of money for that rock.

Have any Biospira?

I’ve added it to the display before yes, not on me currently though.

Almost looks like ha. Have you id with a scope. That will give you a definitive answer

No which makes this situation even weirder. When I first started noticing it. I ran the paper towel test and scoped it. I couldn’t identify it at all. It also passed the paper towel test.

I eventually had to say, ok, this is Dino.

I’m a little more relaxed. My phosphates held up for 30 minutes. That’s the best they’ve ever held up.

Got to take points where you can.

I’m also confident algae can survive on low/no phosphates as long as they’re introduced.

I have some cyano and turf algae I can throw into my display if I need it.

The algae may be consuming po4 quicker than you would imagine. Your tank very new I recommend Id. Local high school or community college

Might be worth it. I don’t know what else it could be though. Always best to know what you’re facing though.

I’d like to raise my hand and say that in 10 months of reefing I have never personally tested my phosphates. Every once in a while I take some water to the LFS just for peace of mind, it’s ok that it’s always a waste of my time and theirs ;) I feed my corals like I feed my fish and don’t worry about it lol

(just imaging how much time @living_tribunal must spend testing!)

Quite a lot but it’ll be worth it when there’s no Dino in my tank and my hammer has a few more heads.

All my frags are undergoing a puberty growth spur at the moment.

Fuel by AquaVitro has some really great supplements for hammers, I know mine have exploded since I started adding that.

I feed mine reef nutrition a+b, just started oyster feast. Mine hate reef roids so I target feed mysis, they get wet over it.

@NotFishyFishGuy those are Gorgeous!

Thanks

I dose Fuel every other day. Phyto Feast and Oyster Feast every day, reef roids every 3 days or so. Frozen mysis every week for the whole tank. I’m not sure, but I think my hammers also eat pellets as well if they fall on them when I feed my fish. I don’t feed the recommended dosage tho, about half or less for everything.

I’ve heard that from others! I might pick up some more pellets to feed my frags. I’m looking for larger food to feed. Reef roids just causes a lot of algae and the Dino loves it too.
