Just remeber when testing there will be air in the tube bcause of the tip. Just pull it to the 1ml mark and slowly drip while shaking till color change

I noticed the air in the tube, having used many syringes I removed the air. My biggest problem was reading the scale LOL.

 

[gmoney243]

Yea dont remove the air. It wil give false reading. Just pull to 1ml leave the air

 

[Bryn]

Got it. That would drop my readings down somewhat.

Thanks

Here's my macro in the making. It acts as a remote fuge for my 120g mix, also helps with remove the extra CO2 from the Ca reactor.

Beautiful coloration on the Ochtodes. What is the macro behind the Ochtodes?

Dragons Breath. I only have a cell phone camera and it doesn't show the true red/orange.

This is a system acts as my refugium. It is next to my 120 on its own stand. It shares the sump below the 120 (40g breeder) and everything else the 120 uses. Only thing in the macro tank's stand is my Ca reactor. But both share the same water.

Nice macros both of you

Last of my posting of macros pictures.

There you have it.

Looks great Bryn!

If you are in need of macro algae, I would highly recommend this company. Service, quality, everything about them has been 110%.

Macro Algae: Your Source For Quality Marine Plants and Macroalgae | Gulf Coast Ecosystems

The other company I used was so disappointing that I will not say who it was, but I should have done my home work. It would not take a lot to improve the service, so unsure whether to complain to help them or just let it go. If they handle macros so poorly, I could not consider buying something more fragile.

There you have it.

Hey buddy this is Bill, You dropped off the refractometer for me. Your Macros are awesome and will want to talk to you in depth about adding these to myFuge on my new build. Looking real good!

Thanks Bill, will be more than happy to talk with you. You have some knowledge that will help with my algae, especially about fraging.

Here is a picture of the 40g.

A bit dirty and needs a little water. The right power head is a Hydor 750 which is running, the left power head is a Maxi-Jet but is switched off. Should remove it but I run it every so often just to stir things up a bit.

That sand bed is super deep! Everything is looking good though. Congratz

 

[Bryn]

It looks deep, but it underlates in the center somewhat. When the sand storm was in full swing, the sand got moved towards the front more from power head. I would estimate about 3 inches would be the depth when leveled out. It is 60 pounds of sand in a 40g. Do you think that is too much?

 

[dwilliams87]

I don't think its too deep, but the deeper you go, the more you have to worry about stirring up the lower part of your sand bed due to the bacteria's deep that you don't want coming out. It can cause a tank to crash if the deep areas are stirred up.
