Thank you for the great explanation ,you have made it very simple .

Oh man, do I ever feel today years old. The way the lfs explain to me how to uae this is all wrong. No wonder my alk is as high as it is 😔. I'm going to need to figure out how to lower it and not bomb my tank.

@CandyCoralAquatics 15 күн бұрын

@LaheyCrocket you can do a water change, or just let it go down over time naturally. You can also allow your ph to become more acidic, alk will lower to raise ph. Hope this helps

@LaheyCrocket 15 күн бұрын

@@CandyCoralAquatics it does help, thanks! I did a water change yesterday. It was at 12 then 11 after a water change. Today it is at 11.1 I think my best bet is to as you say. Do water changes as it is going down on it's own naturally to get it back to where it should be.

@CandyCoralAquatics 15 күн бұрын

@LaheyCrocket 11 is fine, just make sure you have enough nutrients in the water column so your corals don't burn out. Keep nitrates and phosphate up. Nitrate 10is or so, and phosphate 0.05-0.08. Feed, feed and feed. This will allow the corals tonhave enough nutrients to keep themselves from burning up while they take up the higher lvl of alk. It'll balance out normally over the next week or so depending on how many corals you have

@LaheyCrocket 15 күн бұрын

@@CandyCoralAquatics sorry, had fallen asleep. Phosphate is at .9 (biopellet reactor still waiting for the pellets to fully get going) nitrates are at 11. I feed phyto and ab+ as well for my jbj 24. I'm going do a 30% water change tonight to try and get it to drop down to hopefully 10. I want to get back to 8dkh as thats where my salt comes in at.

Also known as "Red Plenaria". They are toxic as hell when they die off! That goes for every species of Flatworms!! Best is to install a small quarantaine tank with just a canister filter with Zeolite and Carbon filtermedia with all the other needed equipment. You keep your corals in that quarantaine tank for as long as needed and add "Flatworm RX" from "Blue Vet RX", or the product he is showing us. It is Reef and Fish safe. Also do waterchanges in your quarantaine tank, the carbon will also remove the medication, but it's best to do a 25% waterchange in your quarantaine tank. 👍

I didn't, however, expect to renew my Faith along the journey. Thank you brother. If you had time, I would love to hear your thoughts on adding beginner corals. How fast should we go? I'm new to the channel so any info on your lighting would be helpful. I think we all get into the hobby, looking for that pop of color that you have. Stay strong stay reefing and God Bless.

Thanks for sharing your video! I do have a question. So my tank is going on 5 years now. I've always wanted like a zoa garden however every zoas I have out in, they would wither away and disappear. Now my regular green Paly are fine! I have a huge colony growing fine. Do you have any pointers on how to keep zoas? I do know some zoas like less lighting or more lighting and some zoas like less flow or more flow. I'm just bummed as to why my zoas would die off slowly. Also I would like to add that I do most ordering from WWC too.

@JasonNalley 3 ай бұрын

This video is kind of old, but perhaps I can illuminate a few things... Carbon dosing acts as a food source for the Nitrifying and De-Nitrifying bacteria in our systems. What this means is that it feeds both the bacteria responsible for converting Ammonia to Nitrite, as well as the bacteria responsible for converting Nitrite to Nitrate and Nitrate to Nitrogen. In this regard, it's meant to remove Nitrate (convert it into Nitrogen gas). The bacteria responsible for converting Nitrate to Nitrogen also consume small amounts of Phosphate while performing this conversion, I think the ratio is like 1000:1 or something like that (You can probably find the correct ratio online), so for every 1 Nitrate you consume, you're only stripping away 0.001 Phosphate. So you take away 40ppm Nitrate, you take away 0.04 ppm Phosphate, etc. Food sources will add these two things are different ratios as well, so knowing whether or not your food is adding more phosphate than nitrate, or more nitrate than phosphate is something you should experiment and test with. Once you've gotten your tank to equilibrium, and you've discovered your input source ratios, you can base a removal plan on that information. I only dose NOPOX when my system is over 25ppm Nitrate, but that happens very seldom as my refugium does the brunt of the work with both Nitrate and Phosphate removal.

So if you are looking for a kh of 9, a calcium level of 450 and mag level of 1400 how can you pin point these levels and keep them stable if you aren’t dosing them individually?

@CandyCoralAquatics 2 ай бұрын

Great question! I would say the best advice I could give is since everything is in equal parts and you use alk as a testing point, once your alk is where you want it, test your calcium and magnesium separate. Then dose them independently. That way you can get all your minar and major trace elements, easy dose alk and control your calcium and magnesium 😊 great question and I hope this helps. I think I'll make a video about this question!

Good info bro. Yes 2 part might be cheaper for alk and cal but if you add up and dose all the trace elements that AFR gives you, AFR comes out much cheaper. Also, I keep seeing videos and threads of people saying to dose AFR based on calcium readings and not alk readings. Thoughts?
