tebo, I am not arguing about the corraline, I just have never heard that too much of it would stop live rock from working properly. Adding...
OOPS - I meant high nitrites in the tank if your rock was not working.
First of all, your live rock, even with corraline is probably doing its job well. If it wasn't you would have ammonia and Nitrate in the tank....
And right now the only filtration I am using is an ATS - seems to work to keep Nitrates and Phosphates under control.
Yes, I stopped using a skimmer over a year ago when I started using an ATS. The skimmer takes organics out of the water, while the ATS removes...
there are many variables. How deep is your tank? What do you have in it? Do you want the same light as if you were using a metal halide or...
I put some PAR 38 LED lights over my tank. I found that I needed to change the lenses to spread the light out somewhat. The light is strong...
When I squeeze it and look under normal light it is dark green. Not black.
My waterfall scrubber currently grows a nice crop of almost black dark green, some hair algae, but mostly stuff that comes off pretty easily when...
In my experience with various kinds of scrubbers over the last 2 years, a waterfall scrubber works best for a larger system. Yes, the surf type...
I have been using a UAS for the last 6 months with a bubble wand - small bubbles- with the concept that the bubbles really are only the mechanism...
SM banning people because they disagree with him is frankly obnoxious. I have learned a lot from him obviously, especially his earlier efforts...
What about non dissolved organics in the system - sludge, detritus, stuff down in the gravel or sand, stuff in the rocks, fish poop etc.? To me...
Personally I think that SM is interested in selling product lately than actually discussing the pros and cons of various scrubbers and their...
Right now I am running a waterfall scrubber and a UAS scrubber, alternating cleaning between the two. Probably overkill for the size tank I have...
I am using a home - made UAS with a lot of bubbles from a bubble wand, but I have always assumed the bubbles were to create the waterflow up and...
From looking at your video, you need a lot more air flow than you are providing. Perhaps just an increase in the air would solve your problem....
I am glad I ran into this thread today. Looks like I had my sizing all wrong for my UAS in my current setup. I'm going to do some more...
I think it has to do with his new product lines. I have found that for UAS you need more area and more water flow [more air provided] than what...
I go along with Bud's expertise with this set up. Rick
