islandVib3s Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I suffered a large loss while on vacation. I lost all my sticks and euphyllia. Due to high nitrates and phosphates from auto feeder and pellets. Anyway I'm looking for frogspawn,hammers,torches,Kenya trees,hardy sticks. I do have corals for trade/sale aswell. I'm in Vancouver wa. Pm some pictures and prices . Thanks! 🤙 20230327_143918.mp4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Sorry to hear of your losses. When I first got my auto-feeder, I learned how fast it can raise NO3 and PO4. Amazingly fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveZ Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 @islandVib3ssorry to hear this Richard! That’s gutting mate. Once you get the tank back on track hit me up and we can help replace a lot of what you lost. I’ll do all I can to keep the prices as low as possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandVib3s Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 I appreciate everyone. I'm going to give it some time to settle before I introduce more, I'm also currently dosing bacteria to get it ready. Micro7,Dr tims,fritz to be sure. Yea I think I messed up on the 2x daily feeding and should have kept it at 1x. 🤦♂️ this one definitely hurt and put me on the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to use an external timer to decide when you want to feed. In my case, an Apex outlet. I was feeding for 1-2 minutes, every hour, 24hrs a day. That was TOO MUCH. I'm currently feeding 2 minutes, at 1pm. Single mid-day snack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevo5 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I can peel off a BTA if you'd like one of those? Got a pretty big one creeping on the glass right now that seems like an easy grab. LMK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 How high did your nitrate/phosphate get out of curiosity? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I didn't test, I saw all the build up of algae and the auto feeder emptied.fish were fat and I had 10 fish in there while I was gone. It's mostly cleared up with a few waterchanges before I started dosing bacterias. I also added a fresh bag of sand so I had some diatoms aswell. All the rock were tank transfers so I'd probably date it to 3yrs running in tanks. The bioload I had in it was just too heavy and my refugium wasn't ready to take it all up just yet. Also no skimmer in this setup, just double refugium w cheato and caulerpa. Also no uv installed just yet. I'll install it when I'm done dosing bacterias.
