Hi davy!hi all
im davy from scotland.
ive kept salt water tanks 30 years.
i have a main tank about 100galls and a sump bucket filled with live rock 35 ltrs and a 35 gall fuge also filled with live rock and some dead mans finger algae and i hope tons of pods. also i know i have lots of amphipods.
A few rears ago i got a tunze power skimmer that was a bad mistake i think.. its so good i ended up with no nitrates measurable.. then in came the dreaded bryopsis and then dedum dedum the dino OMG that stuff was mad to fight but i have cleared the tank of it... using the thrush cure pills.
also took out the skimmer that was far to efficient for my tank and over sized anyway.
i then bought a jap dosing unit 4 heads and dosed soda and calc.
i truely believe my alk had fell to low was always about 6 -7, after i got the doser its always now in the 8.5ish and calc always in the 400s.
I also piped in fresh air straight into the fuge.
so somewhere doing this the bropsis and dino left.
