Yes, it’s called stump remover at Lowe’s or Home Depot. You got to be very careful and go super slow. The slow affect will get you if you don’t go slow. When you dose it has a lag effect.
Bingo. The issue is not the light spectrum considering that all of the chlorophyll is activated by the blue spectrum, and is much more efficiently utilized by the blue spectrum than the red spectrum. This is not an issue of tweeking colors. It’s an issue of the dinoflagellate algae keeping the zooxanthellae alive via photosynthesis, and you need fertilizer to keep photosynthesis going.
That being said, this is what I have on hand…. Is any of it helpful short term until the chemicals (already ordered) arrive?
booster?????
In all this conversation, I don’t recall you mentioning your nitrate and phosphate levels. I assume they’re low based off of what I read, but these are two of the top three most important variables to measure. Don’t dose anything for now until you have a foundation of understanding of your tank parameters.That being said, this is what I have on hand….

1. Home grown phyto
2. F2
3. Red Sea AB+
4. Copepods
5. Rotifers
6. 5 other tanks with readings other than zero
7. I also won the fritz package at the RC show that included every product fritz has other than nitrate and phosphate boosters.
I’m also running fritz carbon. I’m assuming the consensus is to remove that immediately.
I know these questions may sound ridiculous to you, but if I had a better understanding of photosynthesis than sun making food for plants I would not be asking. Thank you in advance for not annihilating me for this question.
Edit: wait a minute. I have powdered NPK something like 36-4-12 tomato
Yeah. I said nitrate 0 but did not mention phosphate 4.
Just dump the whole bottle in of AB+..... j/k.That being said, this is what I have on hand…. Is any of it helpful short term until the chemicals (already ordered) arrive?

I would argue that the carbon is also a limiting factor in most tanks. What is the source of this "carbon" of which you speak?
Well put!
Bio pellets!
Correct, it wasn't a question with a right of wrong answer but rather designed to promote thought on the topic.Bio pellets!
That doesn't look like a LED over his tank.I know a guy that literally uses a sump, return pump, skimmer, light, wave makers, heater, and fish…and has the biggest corals ever. He swears that’s all you need. Same guy that owns that tiny elegance coral.
