Cyano is usually an imbalance related to strains of bacteria, not specifically Carbon dosing. Dose Special blend at the rec'd dosage. Also you can...
Hello, So you ran the pellets for 6 months... and recently switched reactors and now are seeing a new bloom? How much water flow?
excellent... I like to hear that. Now remember, feel free to feed the tank to keep those LPS happy. The ecoBAK will work hard to keep the nutrients...
soon... very soon.
It'll work well... run low flow for a gentle tumble. And keep feeding the tank. In fact you could probably start feeding daily. If you still find the...
Tip of the day... when your nutrients are low, less than 1ppm NO3 and less than .03ppm PO4 you can increase the flow through ecoBAK to a moderate...
It's ok to run a round of GFO if you want to scavenge any PO4 in the system. The ecoBAK won't be very active when the nutrients are so low but they...
There are a lot of factors involved. People who have more PO4 inside the live rock in older aquariums will need more time to see PO4 drop. Some...
no, no, no.... :D You can remove a lot of PO4 and NO3 with ecoBAK and still have issues with cyanobacteria and it's because of bacterial...
You should be fine... in fact that may be too much "tumble". You want to see a nice gentle rolling tumble. I think the blue coarse stuff may clog...
Be sure to check in with your results and feel free to contact me any time with questions. Jon
A biopolymer media would do the trick... ecoBAK users report sharp declines in PO4 and NO3 after 4-6 weeks.
It WILL work, just not as efficiently as in a reactor. That just means that it won't have the same capacity at it's limit in a canister filter but...
go buy some fish :)
24" tall is nice, 24-30" depth looks great. hence the popularity of the 72 x 30 x 24 (H) 225 gallon aquarium.
While the RO/DI filter housing works OK, it's not the most efficient. Without a sump a canister filter works OK.
Hello a very long pause will lead to stagnation in the reactor and lots of nasties. However... that'd take days. I'd say anything under 8 hours is...
Hello if you want a skimmer similar to the old style H1 check out the AquaMAxx HOB. We have newer models coming in March that use a more modern...
You're probably OK, how long have you been running ecoBAK? If you watch the pellets, even the stationary ones should slide over into the movement...
Premium Aquatics has it in stock as does TB Aquatics, there may be others...
