Ive been looking at my failure with the copepod scrubber, and perhaps their is a link.It seems FACT that bacterial populations control algae and...
Hello :)
He's done really well to give this thing a 6 month trial without any success.
Only had "issues" with the direct CO2 additions. I ran the waterfall with bubbles (air) without problems (not taking into account the salt...
Ahh, sorry. I sort of assumed putting a bit of rigid airline onto the intake of the scrubber pump would be the easiest way.
I would have thought a long tray, filled with rubble (or open matrix sponge) on the scrubber outlet would provide bubble removal as well as a...
Gently dig your fingers into the thick growth. If the growth comes away easily, it's time to get rid of it.
Algae use ammonia as a nitrogen source (in place of nitrate), but it's totally failed in this case, with N (ammonia) and P rising.
Finally terminated this. Nitrate at rock bottom zero, P risen to 2ppm. So naturally thought, ahh - Nitrate limited. Then thought about it for a...
I've started to aerate my horizontal now. Just don't seem natural without tiny bubbles, somehow.
Worth the effort - probably not. It may give me an insight into bubbly scrubber function though.
This is still growing. I've cut down the feeding to half of a tiny spoon full of SPS food a week; [media] I'll do some N & P tests later
Yeah, but not as damaging as UVC(in sterilisers) Trying to find the stuff about it. Apparently the carbon is released as CO2, which is interesting
UVB is supposed to break down humic substances quickly into more bacterially digestable forms (or so ive read). Its supposed to form 60% of...
I couldn't maintain a high pH on the screen without adding kalk, when the growth was thick. It was like the algae underneath the top layer was...
We're talking about amphipods, not copepods, right? From what I can tell, copepods only eat floating stuff in the water and amphipods eat...
Well Deserved Jez. As a prize you will receive F-All :)

Are there any experienced reefers/scrubbers left on AS?
