I thank you for the after pics and before pics. If you are determined to post it even after my edits onto post #1, very top, then I accept fully. we get to compare time scales between the two systems then.
There are many ways to control algae for sure, we wanted to collect only the tank cleaning kind here, that way we can track examples and watch for patterns.
If the time comes that you decide after seeing the other examples that you do want to fix the tank, then that conversion psychology will make for the best example we have on the thread- much better than any tank after pics. I’ll wait months if it takes that long by choice, we want you fully planted with coral as the end goal.
I was thinking of getting a chonch, thanks for the reminder. Also the daily water changes sound like an interesting idea, maybe I'll try thatI would recommend a Tiger Sand Conch. I love mine, keeps the sand moved around, and very comical to watch.
Also, in a tank of your size, I would try smaller daily water changes. I change out 64 oz everyday, or every other day (sometimes I forget). My nano guru says it achieves the same result as larger changes but with more stability and it simulates "dosing".
You know what Brandon, I never even read that very first post to the thread. I apologize for my intrusion.
That's an understandable take for a non work thread, here all we're doing is repeating works from large work threads already linked.
Really this is just a works thread. I'm either going to have living or dying tanks posted as outcomes, since we don't work with mid ground partial actions.
Gotta wait till I get more than four willing parties to generate works to form a critique... even if we disregard the other pages of it being done.
Am inviting scientific feedback on this thread, but make it example specific, can't be theoretical. we don't want too many opinions. Before and after pics need to guide this thread so we don't descend into a procedural debate.
This isn't a nuclear option at all, it's literally the bare minimum effort required to make every reef tank you'll ever own behave from day 1 to day 3000. All the other reefing options are win some/lose some backseating.
We'll not lose a single tank who posts here truly wanting a change of direction, we'll fix them.
Claiming we can wield total control over nano reef tank behavior...who wouldn't want to participate in seeing if that's true or not, someone post up a challenge you're ready to relinquish.
We're debating two different things, I'm only a results guy. You'll need to generate some results (work threads, causing uninvasion multi examples) to catch my eye. I'm aware of the critiques of manual cleaning, but they don't stop our threads getting out to eighteen pages addressing help needs from people following similar methods to yours.
You know that if you don't have work threads, you bring the wrong currency to this thread right
I'm saying I value your science background. However you've applied it to aquarium work or restoration I'm open to read.
We will change, cease, adapt or embolden any procedure here based on live time examples from works, nothing is fixed.
My goal is true tank restoration science, results, after pics, consistent non tank loss. Just because you and I develop that in different ways doesn't make us at odds.
