Garrett it’s tank cleaning where zero waste is left in the tank is all
and it’s harmless, all we do is wash out yucky sand it’s in the link I provided as a phenomenal job two nanos just did with pics, see Sadie’s tank thread Post #11
It may save your reef one day.
washing out waste from the sand, and all detritus, and all invasion cells is what we do/ super cleaning. Then we take the fully clean tank and quit starving it: we initiate spot feeding for two months as we put back on mass on his corals and all his photos will show it as Sadie did.
Instead of taking weeks to wait for mass to hopefully recede from our dosers, animals or actions, what we do is remove it all at once as a focused cleaning because nano reefs aren’t that hard to clean compared to large tanks. And the outcome is gold, there’s no downside. It’s perfection
*one reason not to do a rip clean exists though: by skipping the coaxed natural win, by param adjustment or dosers or ideal animal grazing, and instead forcing a win overnite via a rip clean, we lose out on the tuning practice that could one day help large tankers with dinos.
I’m directly advising to shortcut the costly experiment here, and choose a mode ive done five thousand times on file instead that fixes the tank overnite so we can then blast feed it and bring your corals back. But if the OP wants to wait further, press corals even closer to loss so that he can learn hands off tuning, well then an expensive lesson is coming and also potentially a win, but nobody says what date his tank will be fixed if he continues hands off.
I could have it fixed by ten am tomorrow if the will exists.
I recommend: rip clean the tank because of the after pics we show. He wants that for his tank.
and then, knowing dinos are likely to try and mass back, he then experiments with all these params and dosing and animals and water glass as *prevention* but not *removal* of an invasion.
He will always hand remove any masses that surpassed his prevention effort.
what the masses want us to do: please fill your tank with as much mass as humanly possible, then seek ways to kill it, absorb it into the tank somehow, and let the translocated mass now feed two years of GHA algae.
Team, read the 450 page dinos thread...It’s 99% tradeoffs into completely wrecked gha tanks, I noticed they were so happy to get free of dinos after two years hesitation mode they’d gladly accept any counter invasion so long as it wasn’t dinos.
we are so opposite of that. Make use of the small size of a nano, use the inherent accessibility to absolutely stop your loss right now.
nano reef invasions are 100% psychology and 0% biology in remedy.
Everything I’ve typed above that will fix his tank is a yes / no option set.
Yes, I do want those after pics and weeks of control I read in Sadie’s thread or no: I do not want those outcomes compared to my last three months with this tank.
It’s a choice… biology comes in the prevention regrowth step. Owning a non invaded nano requires only will, not ability to prevent. We should all quit accepting tank loss where preventable. We clean it up first, then experiment with growback preventions - this saves coral.
