PO4 is at a 5! ughhh

I'm scared of bio pellets! Some people sing praises & some curse the mentioning of them! I'm too new to SW to know which is best for my set up... I'm chicken!
We've been VERY lucky so far! Don't want to throw off a good thing! lol

 

How do you go about rinsing frozen food? My guess would be to put the cubes in a small strainer & soak in RO ? What's your process?

 

Buy a GFO reactor and use 1/4 of the recommended amount to start and change every week to every two weeks. Slowly build up to using the full amount unless you are using BRS supplies then stop at 1/2 and start at 1/8.

 

We use RO. We were using stale tap but the algea was taking over the rock/foam wall. Started using RO & have it completely under control now & very clean/stable tank! No more worries with Ph either! No worries with ANYTHING in the FW since switching to RO.
Our PO4 is just too high in central FL I think. It made a HUGE difference for us.

 

I break off a chunk thaw it in a bowl of water and then strain it through a brine shrimp net.

thanks

 

huh?

think I have some researching to do!

 

Well - I think I will be starting a macro-nursery before getting into the BBs & GFO hobby.
I like greenery anyways!
I'd rather try the al-natural approach first.
