No problem at all... I can talk about this stuff all day. It's obviously my hobby, too... so it never gets old. Let em know how it goes.
Remember as we discussed earlier, the Cyanobacteria is coming from a bacerial instability and not the ecoBAK. Once you get the bacterial issue solved...
That's great that you're seeing results so early... most start to see results at 4-6 weeks. Give it some time and your clarity and coral color will...
Hello, yes it seems that getting the right reactor and pump combination is very important. Your numbers and system sound like they're doing well...
The Microbe Lift product is what I use personally and will use until we finish development of our own bacteria product.
The slow tumble is best... I only recommend a more aggressive tumble with very low nutrient systems where the owner requires a more aggressive...
this would be GREAT for a 500g build... [IMG]
Hello, You're still pretty early in the process. Remember the purpose of the ecoBAK is to reduce nutrient levels in the system including Phosphate...
Remember... ecoBAK is not only a food source for bacteria but also a substrate. When you have a smaller volume of ecoBAK you will have a smaller...
Hello, just run less ecoBAK for less nutrient reduction.
Hello, Sounds good, relatively low bio load systems will consume less ecoBAK than high load systems. In this situation it would be OK to increase...
Hello, We will be shipping them later this month. Depending on the load of the system you could use an MF161 or an MF201. The MF161 is rated to...
Hello, You will run .75-1 liter of ecoBAK. I'd say 80% of all ecoBAK users are able to stop using GFO. Leave the GFO running alongside the ecoBAK...
Hello, 2 L of ecoBAK will fit, but make sure that you still have a gentle tumble of the pellets.
Hello, For aquariums with significant PO4 and NO3 you will reduce the chances of a bacterial "bloom" by adding the ecoBAK incrementally. 1/4 per...
Sorry for the slow response... I like the SMR-1 reactor... it works well.
That's a common observation... the water looks REALLY clear when running ecoBAK!
it should be fine... the new reactor and the extra 500ml put you back into a new break-in period. It should be crystal clear in a few days.
Hello, rinse the ecoBAK in clean and fresh aquarium water and start them up again. Dispose of the old water in the reactor now.
Salty Supply is offering a great bundle for ecoBAK users. They're including a 1000ml ecoBAK, a NextReef SMR-1 and an Eheim Compact Variable Flowpump....
