I read some resource that said vermetids are reef safe and actually useful for the tank. Do they cause any problem besides being somewhat ugly?
Hey, I was wondering in a sci-fi writer mindset, what it would be like if we discovered a way to cultivate and maintain zooxanthellae in mammals,...
Yep, that's what I'm trying to gather resources on, how the few successful people have achieved having constant high nutrients without harmful blooms...
I'm thinking of tunicates mainly. :) They aren't corals, but are definitely non-photosynthetic. How about having an external system for culturing...
I'm wondering if regular target feeding can be replaced by an abundance of refugium-bred zooplankton. Did anyone have success in maintaining a system...
Some kind of thermal weapon? High wattage laser? :D
I take that rejection rate is pretty crappy then. :) My cold water is around 70F now in the summer, at least as far as I can trust the temperature...
Hey AZDesertRat, Well I think I figured out the "problem", as I got my TDS meter and pressure gauge. So even though I get a 1.5:1 of waste:product...
:D So you mean it's not very up to date then? I definitely don't want to spend time learning stuff I need to unlearn, haha... Yea I read that marine...
:) I think the whole WHO ordeal about minerals in the water is about "public health", which is a lot more complex than personal health... The thing...
Thanks a lot, sounds like an awesome book. :)
Actually, I've been thinking about how I could set up a vertical system without killing any pods in transit. What I came up with is that if you...
I never understood this "bypass DI for drinking" thing. It is a scientific fact that pure water is not optimal for the body. (Not optimal doesn't...
UPDATE :) Thanks for all the info so far. I'm still on the lookout on tank ecology, ecosystem engineering sources, successful live plankton food...
My thought was, though I definitely need to study up on the biology of it, that the refuge is supposed to - besides being a bed for bacteria doing...
Hey AZDesertRat, I'm still wavering a bit between these systems, esp. that the refurbished one says it doesn't come with standard warranties. (I...
BTW, what is the relation between a refugium and protein skimming? Do you need both, or does a refugium eliminate the need for the latter? Or do you...
Thanks. :D Hopefully it will work out. But still, I want to state for the record that NYC tap water is bloody Evian compared to the crap coming out...
Thanks :) From the limited info I collected so far, having a sump sounds like an absolute must.
Hm I've given up on nems after some reading. I found out about minimaxis, but I'm put off by the potential destructiveness of the things. Though I...
