Yeh, a potassium sample would be great. I used nsw as a calibration fluid. Very good source so i have no doubt the test kit changed.
The algae will get at least a good portion of its co2 for photosynthesis from the bicarbonates in the water. So you'll need to keep a good eye on...
How old is that screen turbo? Interesting thing about the plastic used for those screens, they hate heat! No glue will stick to it, so I tried...
Hi Bud; I saw a post of yours on reef central where you stated your minimum coverage was One LED (660nm 3W @ 700mA) on each side for every 8 sq in...
What advantage do you get from the purple as opposed to using just 660nm ?
In a system utilising an algae scrubber, where there is no algae in the display or sump, do larger snails, & other larger critters, tend to...
The flow rate is 35 gph per inch of screen width. So if your screen is 3 inches wide you need 3 x 35 = 105gph. Seeing you are feeding the scrubber...
Is that just mortar, or is there something added to it to get algae to grow quicker?
Hi Pny looks like you've given this a lot of thought. A couple of questions- 1. what excatly is meant by a coast to coast screen? 2. The ratio I...
Sounds like a plan;)
Don’t bother with the blue. Turbo would have to elaborate on the purples & their exact purpose (I would be interested). I myself only use red &...
also consider - "Do not drip limewater (kalkwasser) into or upstream of a lit macroalgae refugium (or algae scrubber), because it limits...
Hi d0lph1n. For what it’s worth, this is my opinion- (What is your NO3 & PO4 reading on average?) I don’t know if your screen is 7 or 10...
You'll need to post some specs eg; screen size, cubes fed to tank, flow over screen, illumination type, wattage & duration, alkalinity level
Yes, side effect
It is interesting to consider that the aeration from a skimmer is meant to expell excess CO2. But there would never be excess CO2 in a tank with a...
apparently its best not to use Kalk at all if your growing algae.
Maybe a calcium reactor might be easier
That could be the problem. from Photosynthesis and the Reef Aquarium, Part I: Carbon Sources http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-10/rhf/index.php...
