that looks pretty good! Don't give it any more flow of course but it's good the way it is.
That's a great trade for a nice reactor. Must be some nice rbta you're growing...
EcoBak Plus is the first and only advanced multi-polymer "bio-pellet" on the market. It is especially aggressive and promotes great bacterial...
Correct... less expensive than buying a 500ml jar and a 250ml jar. The extra 400ml will last for at least 6 months (or extra 250ml if your water...
Hello, It's not the best reactor certainly, but may work so go ahead and give it a chance. You can buy a 1000ml jar and add about 600ml of ecoBAK....
We usually expect to see numbers move at 4-6 weeks so you're right about there. If you have an imbalance between NO3 and PO4 just run GFO for a few...
Hello, Just replace 100% and give them a couple weeks to get revved up. Since you've already used classic EcoBAK I wouldn't expect any kind of...
There are a number of nice ones out there... I like the Synergy and Reef Octopus and the AquaMaxx too
Update! We're already starting to see and hear feedback from early ecoBAK PLUS users... and the results are awesome. We're seeing significant...
that's not bad... a little on the aggressive side but it's OK. If your nutrient levels are really low like <2-3NO3 and <.05PO4 it's ok to use a...
Hello, That's tough... I'd say add a known amount to the reactor and see how much the level increases. For example if you have 3" of ecoBAK in...
Hi all, Time to introduce the newest member of the ecoBAK family. ecoBAK PLUS Original ecoBAK is arguably the best selling, best reviewed and best...
Yes. You're right there, very low NO3 and PO4. But if you want to scavenge more NO3 then you need to add a little more PO4. A little flake food and...
This is another situation where you've hit near-zero on PO4 but still have a little NO3. Are you running GFO or any PO4 reduction? If you are, stop...
I think you will be ok. If you've been running ecoBAK for 8 months you already have clean water and the skimmer won't be excessively overburdened.
Yes it's quite a long thread!! Usually you will see a skimmer stop working when something affects the surface tension of the water. That can be a...
great video!
Absolutely correct... Running a PO4 remover starves bacteria of PO4 needed to consume NO3 and NO3 removal starves bacteria of NO3 needed to consume...
Are you currently running a PO4 remover like GFO? At this point you could feed more, you could remove the macroalgae too.
that's correct. If you have zero or near zero PO4, the bacteria can't grow. If you're currently using GFO, stop. Then the PO4 can start to rise which...
