Fish and other animals do pass those things, so I count them as waste. It also removes some trace elements, metals, as well as activated carbon...
Well a skimmer pulls out more then just food/waste but that is it's main purpose. There is no reason you can't do a skimmerless system with lps and...
this. also its a pretty good system far cheaper then using regular chlorine.
I found in the tlf reactor you needed about 300 gph(maxijet 1200) for 1/3 full. at first the mj 400 works, then you keep needing to up the flow as...
They do. They aren't made for biopellets, but you can get away with them on smaller tanks.
two systems. Used NP pellets My old tank: 40 long, sps system, tlf 150 filled about 100 ml of pellets. dropped nitrates from 20's to sub 1 ppm,...
swc cone skimmer.
no but you should compare your testing methods, most people with the zeo systems are testing for levels below 1 ppm nitrate and .1 phosphate. So...
i run them in a two little fishes reactor, given proper water changes and a good skimmer they will drop you in the single digits. I was at around 0.3...
if you can keep your water good, you can feed it as much as it will take. Mine would never eat more every other day.
while I don't have personal experience, I believe it only works on ultra clean systems. so unless you use zeolite or maybe biopellets it won't work.
quite a set up.
usually you want the returns to be smaller then the overflow, because if they were the same size the return could easily put more water into the tank...
you west coast reefers get the best stuff.
usually its like 1 inch I think, but it can be what ever you want.
sound right to me, 1.5" Bulkheads - AquaCave
I vote for the 300.
my polyps are red, although new growth is whiter.
Honestly I would still use a skimmer it will lessen your water changes and reduce the smell of the tank. It's worth it to get a good one.
stability takes about a week to start working from my experience. A water change would be good. It is smart to add a bunch of plants in the...
