If I want to do this for freshwater with black rocks (basalt) for a fountain, will using black sand work or is the chemical composition of aragonite important? I’d prefer to use black sand since it will blend in better, but if the science needs to be aragonite, I’ll use that! :)

Sorry for the late response. Yeah tangs are a touch and go subject. with those 3 they went in at the same time this is one of the better option but not always the easiest. You can try the 3 day total black out method I have heard a good few success stories with that one. Good luck if you have not done it yet if you have hope you were successful.

Wouldn't it be better having a bigger pipe so it syphons it straight into a bucket rather than back and forwards with a small tube. Especially when doing a water change?

Just found with a smaller tube you can do alot more as the thicker the tube the less time you have to work. But it is now discovered that popping the bubble does not release spores into the water column like previously believed.

@@ReefManiacs Who has proven that? I took all my rock out and scrubbed it and a month later it was back with a vengeance! I used a metal brush so I dont get it what happened! I will try this method but what do you think of using a product? I have heard Vibrant but I have also read bad reviews about it killing fish and corals. Its been a while since I researched it but I know a lot of retailers dont sell it anymore because it isnt bacteria like they claimed. Brightwell claims that razor and clean work and some here said continuum! I just started doing this method and think I iwll get another crab after it seems all gone. If that dosent work then one of the products!

The thing is the tank mate that feeds off of it keeps it under control. So it eats it faster then it grows. Remove that tank mate before the problem is completely removed its will grow back ten fold.

Placing a air stone in the acclimation tub will cause the PH to rise to fast. When shipping fish long distance the co2 build up inside the bag causes to PH to drop. The ammonia levels have also built up while in transit, but what stops the ammonia from killing the fish is the low PH. Ammonia is not dangerous at PH levels lower then 7 but the higher the PH the more toxic the Ammonia. So a slow acclamation with a drip only increasing the drip rate every hour is the safest way to acclimatize the fish as this will slowly and safly raise the PH and lower the ammonia. We used to do the airstone if you watched our perverse videos. This method comes recommended by one of the world's leading fish importer.

question... im somewhat new to reefing (3 years) and just recently getting into fraging. why does the bandsaw blade not cut your fingers when you touch it? whats a good beginner bandsaw to get? thanks!
@ReefManiacs
@ReefManiacs Жыл бұрын
Hi, well it's not a toothed or sharp edged but a diamond edged blade, so it's more of a grinding action then a cutting action. With that said I still would not touch the blade as with enough pressure it will cut you. As for band saws the griphon in my opinion is a good investment but if you are not cutting alot of corals a Dremel style multi tool with a diamond cutting disc works well oh and make sure to get the extension that fits to it so the motor section says away from the water.
