Thank you!
I don’t feed for my entire photo period. My lights don’t kick on until 3pm.
I set the pump on a normal power outlet, not on XP8 since I don’t have anymore outlets available. Already thinking of getting a second XP8…
Just to make sure… @Alexander1312 and/or @Darkxerox does this look right?
If I want to feed 4 times, 45sec each feeding, starting at 11am, every 3hrs? Maximum on time set to 1min as failsafe
Good point on the pump power cord. Didn’t catch that.
I haven’t seen how much comes out when running but I think 35 sec would be a good starting point instead of 1:15. I’ll try that
Good tip on the maximum run time.
Thank you sir!
Got Avast Plank mounted onto tank. Going to keep CBB I got from @Darkxerox and other fish fat hopefully. Still need to program into Hydros.
Messed up and purchased an upgraded mixing assembly not knowing that the version I got already included it. If anyone wants it, I’ll PIF...
I’m in South Bay in San Jose and this is about an hour from me. How far is it from you? I thought this was pretty central to everyone.
We had one swap in San Jose 10min from my place and honestly I’d much rather drive to this Brisbane venue because it’s nice
I picked up a few different things from Neptunes right now. Some frozen food I normally don’t use- just to add variety. Some spirulina flakes to go into avast along with reef jerky and freeze dried mysis. I do have some of that Seaweed Extreme @Alexander1312 mentioned so I’ll throw that in there...
Recently ordered an Avast Plank. I’ve been meaning to do it but a couple days ago @Darkxerox gave me one of his copperbands and I want to make sure she stays well fed. I’ve been doing a good job of feeding multiple times already but this will make life easier.
What food is everyone putting in...
Use a DC controllable pump so you can adjust the flow to the rate you need. I used a small Jebaoe DCP that I had on hand but anything controllable should work really. What I did was filled a measured bucket and used a timer to figure out the gallons per hour flow rate I was getting.
The most effective way would be to get a return pump in your display and you can connect it to your UV with tubing and then tubing for output back into display. It’s going to look ugly but it’s temporary
Ostreopsis dinoflagellates
I tried a bunch of things for this when I had it, UV did the trick in around 10 days they were all gone. I’d just jump straight to UV. Make sure it’s setup properly, display to display, and 3W / 1 Gallon minimum
