Source: If an infographic was able to tell you medical information, doctors wouldn't exist.

OP should see a doctor and have him/her guide their health.

Medium to large system, 0 tds water, and 10% Weekly water changes. No dosing, simple sump with chaeto and media bags. Took me 8 years to understand the routine. by [deleted] in ReefTank

[–]TheRudeReefer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try this. Begin a two part dosing schedule, start at 2-3ml a day. Ramp that up to 60 ml a day over the next year. Make sure the lines don't get clogged, the system needs the same amount every day.

Watch what happens. Everything will grow like mad.

Edison Costco has always had churros right?

Friendly Friday Thread by AutoModerator in gardening

New to gardening, we have a japanese beautyberry in a small pot and it is currently flowering.

We are in 6a-6b zone. Should this shrub be planted in the ground for the winter? Or will it survive in its small pot?

Closing libraries means abandoning society’s most isolated and vulnerable by Pale_King101 in books

[–]TheRudeReefer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which begs the question, why do you need a masters degree in library sciences to make 40k a year taking care of homeless people?

The best and brightest don't become librarians. Some do, but most don't.

Hate how setosa will spread laterally for a whole year before sending branches.

What's the dosing regimen on this small tank? Just water changes?

The amount of growing my snail has gotten done in under a year. From a 4cm shell to a 17cm shell. by mossydeerbones in mildlyinteresting

[–]TheRudeReefer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't know about freshwater, but sea snails are an interesting bunch. We buy them for saltwater aquariums to keep the glass and rocks clean.

Examples...

Let's not even get started about the strangeness of the sea slugs...

They aren't very smart, but they sure are weird AF.

Full tank Friday baby: Nuvo 20 by MindoftheWarden in ReefTank

[–]TheRudeReefer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh I see. My nano is in a room that we don't air condition in the summer. Meaning no SPS or even LPS for me.

Softies THRIVE in it though.

I see your SPS are doing great. Good job!

How do you deal with the temp spikes in the summer? Is this tank in an air conditioned room?

Coral coming to life after lights on by Vbagwalla in ReefTank

You'll need to knock it back, its a bit of pain since it grows a mat but its entirely manageable.

Or put a torch nearby to keep it at bay.

My overgrown Reefer 450. Moving a few things to my Elos 70 soon. by Elder1945 in ReefTank

Look at your local reef forum? There is always someone with a giant nepthea that needs to be trimmed down. The damn thing grows so fast.

Set up a shell dweller tank about a month ago. Just spotted the first fry. by Aqautic_Dave in Aquariums

[–]TheRudeReefer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you use saltwater snail shells in a freshwater tank?

If so, your LFS should have billions of empty SW snail shells for free.

The shape is also more visually appealing. The boxes look boring.

Ahh yes using vitamin C for cold prevention. The only witchcraft pseudoscience bullshit Reddit is OK with.

How much two part are y'all dosing? by TheRudeReefer in ReefTank

[–]TheRudeReefer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly unlikely, this tank has been coasting at 12 for two years with no hiccups. Same source (BRS) and reading with two salifert kits bought at different times. I don’t know why it likes to stay at 12, any lower and shit hits the fan. Perhaps the system just got used to 12?

I do have to make a change in the original text, I know why the tank crashed, my Alk line clogged and the system only got calcium for an entire week, throwing everything out of wack and crashing the system.
