Are the spores harmed by passing through UV light?
@ipsfdotcom
@ipsfdotcom Жыл бұрын
Tom, the likely answer is Yes. The main purpose of UV sterilizers on marine aquariums is to kill microorganisms, and algal spores fall into that category. Unfortunately these sterilizers do not distinguish between harmful microorganisms and beneficial ones.

Make certain that parent Amphipods have an ample food supply (Red and Green seaweed) to discourage eating their babies. Also you can use graded plastic screens (like window screens) to separate babies from parents.

I placed an order for your amiphods about 2-3 months ago. I received 25 amphipods. I now have about 1,000 in there. These guys are potentially the best cuc members I have. They demolish all detritus, leftover fish/coral food, and algae. I see them come out in swarms after I feed. I’ll just watch a single amphipod steal one whole lps pellet. My tank is a young system and despite phosphate spikes, I haven’t experienced any algae at all. I think this is in large part to the amphipods. Every time I look in the tank I just see 20-30 or so grazing. They cover everything.

I had a puffer fish, and he finally stopped eating, and just wasted away and died, and a year later I saw a video on KZbin where a ichthyologist or fishkeeper in a public zoo took their puffer and used a dremel grinder to keep his beak in fettle. I wondered immediately if that was what was my fish's problem, because turning down food was not something I was used to seeing him do. If you have any ideas or opinions, I would like to hear them.

Thinking about dipping all of my corals. And then find I this video when looking for a video about copepods... Didn't know they are benificial to the tank

I am on day ten In my brand new 63 gallon and my diatoms just kicked into bloom grew fast today I got worried but some of the more experienced people I have been talking to say this is normal finish your cycle now I wanted to do this proper but my friend who started his already went out and bought 2 clowns a yellow tang and a brittle star and installed them as a suprize birthday gift now I will have a spike due to these fish being in there but I am hoping this did not screw up my cycle too much the fish seem relaxed and okay I am just gonna feed what they can eat I am keeping an eye on perameters so far very little nitrites , nitrates zero and phosphate 1.0 I wanted to do the fish my way I did not make a fuss due to the fish were not cheap and it was a nice gesture I wanted cleaners before fish. By the sounds of it things are still good in my tank it will just need to stay the way it is as not to upset the cycle anymore the tank is big enough to handle this small bio load added and I will control feeding. Now with my bloom should I just get the cleaners? Because there will be no more fish added I want corals once the tank stabilizes.
