Well, you could go either way, with pros/cons each way. Using new water will prevent cross-contamination, but will require you to use all new and...
Awesome Steve! Do you anticipate the start of the experiment anytime in the near future? I did start Vodka dosing about 6 weeks ago after carefully...
Nice start! I have a Edge that I've been wanted to convert to SW, but havent gotten there yet. You will want to upgrade those lights ASAP if you...
LOL, I thought of that too, but trying to match pumps = disaster waiting to happen
I also picked this stuff up last night and started dosing. Vodka dosing has eliminated growth, but like Steve, has not completely eliminated it. I...
I think I was misunderstood. During the cross-contamination stage, the ability to have the tanks overflowing into eachother would be ideal. Then, at...
It will arrive. I remember getting home from work every night and syphoning layers of cyano from the rocks and sand. Almost threw in the towel, but...
+1! Weeks will go by where you will wonder if there will ever be an end to it all... but then one day you'll look at your tank and wonder where all...

Oh, all my shrimp try to steal food from the corals during feeding as well, which is why I stand guard with the turkey baster to give 'em a little...
The peppermint shrimp was evicted last night. I caught him for the third time harrassing the linckia starfish. The first two times it was just as the...
Yeah, dont know what else would be in it that would be particular to a sponge based food vs any other... other than sponge, lol! I also feed my...
Yup, I typically do the mandatory waterchange first, test params second (except salinity and temp are tested before WC, WC water needs to equal DT...
I know I'm thinking outside the box right now, but what about having a small fire going in your backyard (if you have one), heating some water in a...
