They have been talking about this very expensive carbon on the RM fb page. Specifically re the SAC rates. Going to find the info and tag you on the fb.

Thanks, signed up to join the group. It won't let me view it

This was from the Mariner of the Month.

I still have not got my GC from them....

That was the last one I got. It took a while.

You're not thinking about feeding 8 - 16 oz. in one shot, right?

I pour a lot of Phyto in my tanks a couple times a day. Probably 3-6 oz worth total of the big three each time. My biggest issue is not nutrients but salinity creep.

I'm considering measuring my skimmer to see if it'll fit in the sock section and then printing a divider/filter cup. I may need a different skimmer though

That is a good point I haven't thought about. Getting my first subscription of Reef by Steele tomorrow and setting up my doser, starting at 60mL per day, ramping up from there. How fast does your salinity creep?

I keep my target salinity at 35 and my weekly 10% WC are at 34 ish... so it works out. But in truth, it is really all about Kentucky windage... It's ok if you don't know what that means... I don't even think @tbrown knows...

No, I don't! I'm not a Mariner yet like you two :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

If salinity starts to creep up, I could just do a weekly 1 3/4 cup removal of tank water. ATO will replace with fresh and that will compensate for the 1 3/4 cup phyto saltwater added. Right now I'm working out how best to set up the food/phyto fridge and where to drill holes for cables/tubes...

Don't you want to grow your own Phyto in 6g carboys? Live is the best!
Yes, Ideally taking out what you put in is the best... But in my situ... My Phyto salinity is never consistent, evaporating a bit every day... all those bubbles... Bless my heart... I do try...
So it's Kentucky Windage for me...

Already growing white worms! I toyed with the idea of phyto and pod cultures, but the main tank, worms and occasional maintenance in the clown prison is already too much for the office. Trying to simplify things if I can.

In Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom cleverly avoids doing the chore of whitewashing the fence by convincing his friends that it's a fun and desirable task, ultimately getting them to pay him for the privilege.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• The Task:
  Tom's Aunt Polly, his guardian, assigns him the task of whitewashing the fence as punishment for his mischief.
  
  
• Tom's Strategy:
  Tom, initially unhappy with the chore, realizes he can turn the situation around by making it seem appealing.
  
  
• • The "Fun" Argument:
    He pretends to enjoy the work, saying, "Like it? Well, I don't see why I oughtn't to like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?".
    
  • Convincing His Friends:
    Tom's friends, like Ben Rogers, are drawn to the idea of whitewashing the fence, believing it's a fun and exclusive activity.
    
  • The Exchange:
    Tom "reluctantly" allows his friends to take turns whitewashing the fence, in exchange for various items like apples, a kite, and more.
    
  • The Outcome:
    Tom not only avoids doing the work himself but also accumulates a collection of treasures from his friends, effectively turning his punishment into a profitable venture.
    
  • The Moral:
    The story highlights the power of perception and how seemingly undesirable tasks can be made enjoyable through a change in perspective.

There should be a verb for someone that throws Mark Twain at someone else to point out an obviously superior solution. Maybe twaining?

But in reality, this only works if the receiver has a decent 9th grade education. Remember this book is banned in some states... Bless there little hearts...
So you maybe just "Twaining to the void.."

Except then your salinity would lower slightly each dose since you'd be dosing 21-23 ppt?

You got Twainded!

Could calculate the volume needed based on ppt. Would be a slightly lower volume removed than added
