sounds good, I can definitely do that.. do you recommend raising the 4ml or dilution can be more forgiving so I can maybe try with let's say 8ml? or start with 4ml and then slowly ramp up to 8ml (10ml being the recommended dose for my tank to bring down the phosphates from 2.5 to 0.5)

not a bad idea actually to do a poll after so many people have shared their success stories about what worked for them over so many years :D Quick update, a day after another 20% (40gallon) water change.. Phosphates registered at 1.67 (down from 1.88).. Ordered Nitrate reagents but will be...

Like new (used 2 months before switching to BRS 5-stage RODI system.. Free to anybody who can use it. Will definitely need DI filter replacement, other may still be good.

So sorry to hear this, Max.. If I were you, knowing myself, I would have gone crazy with all these deaths in the tank (tomini being the latest victim).. I guess you also had some deaths in your larger tank.. diseases? oxygen? over-feeding / ammonia? starvation? poisoned food? bullying? there has...

honestly, nobody knows the age of rocks in my tank :cool: (except my LFS).. they came from LFS who may have had them in their tanks for decades lol.. and hence all the nutrients problems within 6 months of having the tank lmao but I got your point.. not going SPS route anytime soon! just dont...

Thanks everyone.. I really appreciate the wisdom thrown at me in this thread! it's clear that there are more than 1 ways to bell the cat, but that's why this forum exists, people share what has worked for them over multiple years and newbies like me can then decide what fits their situation best...

In future, Take a screenshot of the image and then upload the screenshot which is much smaller is size

oh yeah.. I pick 3 of these randomly every day and mix them together: Mix of 1 frozen cube (brine or mysis shrimp) pinch of flakes pinch of TDO pellets pinch of dried worms pinch of dried mysis above is soaked in Selcon or Vitachem (alternate day).. I feed them 1.5 times (alternating between...

Yes both new hmm.. I have only been adding 125g each of Carbon 0.8 rox and Rowaphos in bags, changing about once every 30-45 days before I started using LC.. Now I am adding LC 2ml per day for about a week.. nothing else Can you help me understand how manual dosing wont be as efficient as...

hmm fair point Yes, mix of Caribsea live sand and caribsea crushed coral

thanks for the reminder, yeah I planned to do that, but somehow forgot.. that will certainly confirm things.. how long shall I leave the rock in there? a week?

using a pipette.. I just want to see something manually first before starting a dosing pump.. I am all for automation, but guess not at that state just yet.. But to your point, I can split it across 2 doses (manual).. yeah I guess I should go upto the recommended dose of 5 ml, maybe will try 2...

About 4 days later, dosing 2ml (less than half the recommended dose) Lanthanum Chloride directly in Skimmer, I tested Phosphates again and they are sitting pretty at 1.88 (slightly up from 1.85 measured on Monday).. one of the hammers dont really like whatever is happening in my tank.. ricordea...

Yes that's 100% correct.. general rule of thumb distinguishing ich and velvel: if you can count the number of white spots on the fish, it's usually ich if you cannot count the number of white spots, it's velvet and in most cases you are already late Though treatment (Copper) is same for both...

I second that.. that’s the reason I trust supporting members selling their livestock.. they are honest and trustworthy (generally speaking).. not saying LFS aren’t, but it’s just what my preference is
