I've been a lazy reefer for about 8 years, my leather is huge and I recently started selling some green mushrooms because they've spread across my tank and won't stop multiplying. Been re-educating myself and going to do better but certain corals definitely seem to be happy with high nutrients.
I run a sediment filter whole house filter. Then through a whole house filter but I use carbon then through a UV FILTER then back into the sump. I run this 8hrs each day.
One of my first corals was xenia and it appeared to die. Then oneday it came back and wow didn't it come back. I think my tank is clean but dam that xenia is doing great
Than the cutting edge man . I thought it would be cool to have like 5 mandarins.1 male green , 2 female green , 2 female spotted . Couple of blue stripped pipe fish ,maybe a couple Janis pipes , A dozen sexy shrimp & zoas . Of course to get them to eat pellets would be cool . Trained to eat pellets . Nice Dream ! . But , the cube non photo . Add planton. Transfer some of that water to a sump built for copepods . ......Add planton to non photo , wait . put tank in feed mode . Add planton from non photo to sump . Wait . Skim just sump ,using tunze skimmer that behaves . Take out of feed mode . There by using sump as copepod hatchery & sexy shrimp breeding tank .silly maybe . Put you could put planton in non photo & transfer to copepod hatchery no problem . Or tank to breed some kind of Frye if you want to breed fish or something . Maybe even have some kind of algae in sump . I Think I need a life
Why would cleaning the salt in dried form be easier? Boiling off the water would easy. Cleaning the dried salt seems far more difficult than cleaning the saltwater.
