So it's Monday. How did it go?

The avast is just a motor with an electrical plug. The motor runs an auger. So you can run it as long or as short as you want to get the amount you want. It's not a number of spins of an inaccurate canister.

When my IM tank was delivered the guy wheeled it into my garage, no problem. I think "curbside" just means they just won't carry it into your house. When I talked to IM about what to inspect. They basically said open the crate and make sure there isn't obvious damage. They told me pretty much...

This is the way.

Free shipping is at $250. Yellow tangs start at $165

Seems like a pretty good price on a magnetic stirrer. Seems like these come in handy in our hobby. ONiLAB Magnetic Stirrer with 4PCS Stir Bars，Magnetic Mixer with Stirring Capacity 3000ml (No Heating) https://a.co/d/hRbGOLP

My first yellow tang from biota never ate. Just got a replacement today, and already snacking away at nori

Sure, and there is a ton of biodiversity that we generally don't have in new, dry rock started tanks. But even in wild reefs, aren't there times when certain algae take over?

@robert4025 do you carry them?

I think the dropping nutrients to fight algae thing is wrong. So I agree with you there. So back to dinos. Your point #2. I don't necessarily think dinos is "great at eating any N+P available." In fact I think that's how it gets outcompeted at higher N+P. Dino is great at surviving when N...

Correct, I'm saying my understanding is it's not a constrained resource issue at all. At least not in the sense that Dinos are better at taking nutrients than other organisms. If that were the case, your analogy of adding fuel to the fire would apply. Dinos can survive in the lack of N and P...

I think for the most part, the people "investigating" this are hobbiests who are trying their best but have no real training/ knowledge. This is my (also untrained) thought/understanding. Dinos can survive with low nutrients, while other algae/ corals can not. Raising nutrients allows other...

You mean "added intrigue"

Vote for jebao dcp here. I believe simplicity pumps are just jebao pumps with better stateside customer service.

Stop looking for it! How is it going to get comfortable enough to come out if you keep banging rocks around and shining lights?

You know, I was just thinking you needed another tank... :D

I have a new jebao dcp 5000 that could be used.

I'm interested in the leopard wrasse

You win! My cation resin must have gone bad over time in the canister. Thinking the mixed bed had anion color indicator put me on the wrong track. Too bad I wasted $30 in anion resin figuring this out. :rolleyes:

Interesting. I have had that cation and mixed cartridge running for probably close to 2 years, and you can see how little it has changed color. I have probably changed anion 4-5 times in that period. Have always had 0tds after the cation/anion stage. Maybe something recently changed in my...
