I’m in New York but my tank uses almost 50% less ATO in the winter vs summer. The air is usually dryer in the winter especially with home heaters on and that causes more evaporation. Our summers here are more muggy with more humidity and that causes less evaporation. Interested to see how yours is different out there in Southern California

Ya you may be correct. I’ll have to wait this summer to see where we come out. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s close to 3gal a day.

have you experienced any damage to the chaeto from the fresh water dips?

@nicmatluc8812 3 жыл бұрын

Will the chaeto quarantine process also work for just normal refugium? I was concerned that qtine. would kill off chaeto since I just cycled the tank.

Hey that what I did also dip the chaeto in fresh water i did it for 24 hours though. I didnt know it willll work or not when I did it my thought that i have to do something before put in on the sump, but nice to know other people do it too.

Why don't you run RO tubing directly from your RO holding tank for ATO?

I like this method for killing flatworms, bristleworms, but do you think the freshwater dip will kill Aiptasia? Going to have to try this with some aiptasia.

@eatsleepreef9565 3 жыл бұрын

I would say it will kill it. If anything do 6hr and I can almost gurantee. I have no aiptasia or I would try it

I have been seeing some videos and I saw that if u have more tangs in a tank there will be less aggression. This is the 120 gallon stocking list I’m planning on having. I will have strong filtration with a refugium and an oversized skimmer. Do u think this stocking will be ok. If not what should I add or take away from this list to make it better. Fish: 2 Clownfish (most probably Ocellaris Clownfish) 2 Banggai Cardinal 1 Tomini Tang 1 Purple Tang 1 Powder Blue Tang 1 Coral Beauty Angelfish 1 Royal Gramma 1 Yellow Wrasse 1 McCosker‘s Flasher Wrasse (male) 1 Leneatus Wrasse 1 Pink/Purple Firefish 1 Geometric Pygmy Perchlet 1 Randall’s Prawn Goby Invert: 1 Blue Tuxedo Urchin 1 Blood Red Fire Shrimp 1 Randall’s Pistol Shrimp 30 Nassarius Snails 10 Cerith Snails 20 Trochus Snails

The salt you are using it has got phosphate I’ve noticed a different straight away when I changed from red sea pro salt. Maybe a little heads up for you

Ya but those are actual peristaltic pumps which are a lot bigger heads. Yours were designed specifically for large amounts.

@@eatsleepreef9565 True and I was totally missing the point you were making. It also doesn’t surprise me the ghl doser can handle large amounts water, they do make some super nice gear. Thanks my friend.

@eatsleepreef9565 3 жыл бұрын

No worries brother. The only reason these can do it is bc they are stepper motors and not your typical Dc motor. But ya for the size of these heads they are a work horse. The apex dos seem nice too 🤙🏼

Do you run GFO as well as Cheato Refugium, if you do how does that work when the GFO removes all of the PO4?

@eatsleepreef9565 3 жыл бұрын

Nope that’s a big no no

@tonyh5068 3 жыл бұрын

@@eatsleepreef9565 thought so, so no GFO get the red field ratio back up to allow Cheato to grow and add a bit of iron now and then?

There's nothing wrong with bristle worms. They're awesome (free) CUC. I've had them in my tanks for over a decade and I like them.

they're great for people who dont stick their bare hands in the tank and sumps etc at random. if you have an aversion to gloves bristleworms suck but i agree great CUC members for those of us cautious enough to check for them before grabbing things. LOL

Those can’t live past 30-40min even in egg form. There is write ups on this. So 4hr pretty much eradicates it. Heck you could even go for 6hr if you want.
