After 6 weeks and when PO4 is at 0 start using reefbooster.
Thanks for the help tho, my phosphates are at 0.03ppm with my hanna metter, or is 0.03ppm a little to high? I'm only having problems
with the nitrates.
What kind of CUC should I get? And what kind of sand sifters? I know nothing
about the CUC and Since I vaccum my sand once a week I'm scared that I'll vacuum out my CUC
Do you think my nitrates will affect the CUC? I don't want to buy them and then see them die

you wont need to vaccum so regularly if you get a fighting conch.

they are the DYSON Vaccums of the CUC world.

google sandsifting gobies for your fish options

I have had a number of requests on not being able to get ProdiBio at the LFS. I have spoken to Aqua Digital

1. Please contact by PM/email Aqua-Digital and inform them which LFS you are buying the product from and they will see that the product get to the LFS
2. There is stock in supply except for the reef kits....but that should be fixed very soon
3. If you can get the product at all I am sure Aqua Digital can help you out.
or post in the forum about your concerns

Thanks Wayne,

Yes as said above there is absolute no reason why any LFS should not have stock the only shortage has been on the "starter" reef kits but this comes back in mid next week finally after 6 weeks.

So feel free to pm or email where you are having trouble with supply and we will rectify this. and if you need to fast i will personally arrange to get it to you via your LFS directly from us drop shipped.

They have a Nano kit that includes the reef booster, iodine, and strontium which I personally don't want to use. I only want to use the Bioptim and Biodigest neither of which can be overdosed so I just use the regular vials, and they are the same price anyway! I have seen pictures of a BioClean Nano kit, but haven't seen them in stock anywhere.

yep this is true, we do not stock the nano seperate supplements as it simply is a false economy, instead adjust your dosing to once every 20 days instead of once every 14 days.

The nano bio reef kits are available however.

Here are some random shots
-The one thng I did change was when it came to carbon/gfo changes they were done a week ahead/after the additiion of Prodibio
-skimmer and carbon pumps are turned off for 12 hrs after the addition of Prodibio
- I am considering water changes from 10% to 15% every two weeks
- I am increasing the size of the frag tank so I will be increasing to dosage of bacteria to 2 vials

This was Flash's brown coral


This is the frag offered as a prize in the 1st Annual Reefers Pie Contest


Note the growth at the top of this stag. It is close to the surface and is in direct path of a hydor current


This is for Myka...it is usually powder blue
