Ultra Clam review thread

[Skimmerking]

Just so everyone knows here that my clams weren't doing to good in the first like I stated in the past 2 posts back.. so Please don't think that the Ultra Clam, and the fauna Marin caused it.. if any thing it helped them for a little bit until they finally were pulled from my tank so that they wouldn't pollute my tank..

I have nothing but excellent response in my tank from this trial.. My SPS have been doing awesome and have shown great color.

I have indeed slowed down on my feedings since i was feeding a little to much, may be that was the cause of the PO 4 going up. I think that its is caused from the phosban taken off line. I was using that alot to suck out any PO 4 in the water and tank .

I cant wait to get the BIO , Claude and Mike have been great talking with me and explaining all. once i get the PO4 sorted out. and the SPS start growing more the tank will have to start to be pruned.

I can see me in the future using more of the BAK, BIO, MIn S to keep the tank going.

You are doing a great job with this review and we have had so many positive feedback over it

In one month from now I think people will be amazed at the transformation in your corals and clams.

Taking the phosban off will be the result of the raised PO4 but using the Bio and Bak will keep that in check at 0 value, but just remember what i said about Bio, it is a powerful bacterial culture and dosing little to start with is paramount.

For everyone reading - Fauna Products do what they say they do, they are dosed according to instruction, i know many are used to lumping in an un measured amount of trace elements and then in a month wondering what effect that really had, now put correctly measured amunts of Fauna products in the tank and you see visible changes in a week.

We had a case in point recently, a user had been spending out monthly on iodine strontium and heavy metal trace elements and had no idea what they were supposed to do and also saw no benefit either other than a hole in his wallet monthly, so we switched him to Ultra power trace elements, and over night his brown SPS started to show signs of green, he now has full coloured SPS in less than a month.

Testimant to using a product that does what it claims

Hi

I see your problem

Please raise up your calcium and your dkh level
We had massive problems with Salifert Test Kit it showed
2 dkh to much !!! so you have in true 5,4
and the calcium level is also much to low
please check this again but normaly the tests for this are ok
greets claude

i made up a solution with the ALk to raise it on a drip and turned up the drip rate on the kalk reactor too

[Aqua-Digital]

If you are willing to purchase the dosing pump assy i am happy for you to review the fauna balling method, throw out the calcium reactor and bring in the new!

Sadly I cant give away dosers

[Aqua-Digital]

oh and get rid of the alk reactor also if you went balling!

[Skimmerking]

oh trust me i would love to get a doser then i would only have to measure what im using per day and then dose that.
and the same wit hthe kalk too
what are we looking at for a 3 pump doser any ways. I just bought 2x 4kg of Sea chem REEF complete and Reef builder forthe CAL and ALk can i use that with the dosing pump.

How do we know thats not the normal progression of his tank and it would not have looked like that anyways?


As I have the baby sister tank , to Mike,s and see his on a daily basis almost and think about using your products on my 20g, {soon to be 30g}, sps tank, I wonder about the way a tank would look and not look if certain products and equipment are used or not.

Of course, one will never know but its something I have always wondered when reading articles on various methods of running a reef tank.

Hiya

this is a good thought and the only way of knowing is by reviews such as this and also own personal trials.

back in the UK with my 120 gal set up (no sump) I used to spend many $$$$ on additives because i was told I needed them, did I ever see any difference? Heck no! (I was not using fauna by the way) the tank was full of brown sps struggling to say the least.

When we emigrated I gave away the whole contents to a very deserved cause, who ran fauna products, within a month all corals had the colour they should do and he was fragging them as fast as he could keep up.

I have tried various additives in many years of fish keeping and taking my sales hat off (up to you to believe me or not that it is off) but fauna is a product that does exactly what it says "when added as directed". IT is not a product to throw in random doses and walk away, but follow the instructions and watch the results.

The guy I mentioned about the power traces changing his coral colour over night is Lorin on RC (kidney514) please feel free to ask him, I was not aware of this story until he came round to pick up supplies for a Montreal dealer on Sunday that has a huge repeat client base for the product range now. Dealers tend to test products like this first before commiting, and this dealer (amongst others) now rates the product very highly.

But back to your valid thought, I encourage everyone to try at least one product from Fauna maybe match to a product you already use, try it for a month and see the results.
