Lasses Dream Build

[Lasse]

Fast organic carbon like alcohol, sugar and vinegar can be used in different ways in an aquarium. The most common (today) is to stimulate the growth of aerobic heterotrophs in order to export nutrients. However – the old way to use organic carbon is to use it for the denitrification in anaerobic environment. (Without oxygen) A fast organic carbon is needed in that process. The most common ways to manage a denitrification process is to add this carbon source from the outside. However if the anaerobic process has been established for a while – there is other processes that are able to produce fast carbon sources like sugar and alcohol from the internal organic waste inside the filter/sand bedd. You will get a piano that plays itself with other words.

Good way to put it, and nice way to explain carbon dosing.

The marine betta does not fit in my plans just now - i will be to large.

What are you looking to do ? And I got to say your tank looks amazing. I am jealous lol.

@Lasse the tank is looking pretty good still like the heck out of that scape.

Looking nice Lasse!

 

[nervousmonkey]

Wow, more impressed every time I see your tank. I forget the text part of the build thread because the pictures are so amazing! Thank you Lasse!

Thank you as well for the explanation of fast organic carbon dosing and fixation. It is a good reason to keep a DSB; I understand not for the denitrification part but for many other reasons. o_O

Thank you all

@USMC 4 LIFE
My aim is to have a lot of small fishes from different families. I want fishes that interest me because of their behaviour.

I do not have English (or rather American) as my mother tongue - I have problem to understand what you mean with that sentence. But I love to understand - so please explain with other words :)

In answer to your much earlier post (I am re-reading your build thread again now), "off the shelf" simply means that someone has not modified the product at all, just like a person uses "off the shelf" table salt to put on food, since they are not changing the product "off of their shelf" to where it is used. I hope that answers your question.

More questions to come from the past of your build thread... :):)
