    Vibrant

    There is a gigantic thread somewhere - R2R? RC? - all about Vibrant, with alll this info by the Vibrant creator, photos, and (mostly positive) individual reports from using Vibrant. The problem is it was like 150+ pages couple years ago, when I last checked it.

    Selco

    How exactly do you do it? 1. Frozen food. let us say you have one cube of mysis, you thaw it in tank water - and then what? 2. Same with enriching baby brine shrimps. I have a freshly hatched batch - I understand I put them in e.g. water cup with certain number of drops of Selcon? After time T...

    Vibrant

    Somebody studied Vibrant under microscope, they posted photos of bacteria actually attaching to algae ... was really cool, but it was couple years ago, cannot find now. As far as I understand, Vibrant bacteria are literally eating algae, including some type of macroslgae

    BRS Heaters

    They don't have controller meaning they would not stop heating after reaching desired temp? I am also looking for a reliable heater, had to resort to boiling water this week since my heaters turned out inadequate

    Selco

    Following. Just started hatching bbs again, used to feed them asap after hatching, wanted to try selco enrichment this time, but not sure what the procedure is - what is shrimp/selco ration? counting shrimp density is prolly not easy, also afraid to get fatty selco to the tank.

    Vibrant

    Vibrant is not chemicals, its is a patented blend of algae eating bacteria. I have had good experience with it, I dosed it moderately, it does not completely remove hair algae, but makes it weaker and easier to manually remove. If you have refugium, be careful, it is harmful to many macroalgae...

    Freeze Survival

    No, i was planning to do anyway, I had an old sand bed and could get rid of residual algae. I was also hoping that the amount of iron I may get into the tank will not be toxic, I remember at some point even testing if I have enough iron and some people supplementing it. Thanks for reassurance!

    Freeze Survival

    We were 48h without power, room temperature dropped to 42-45F. I have a 4k generator, but the problems started around 3 am so initially believed Centerpoint it will be "45 min" or "just a bit over an hour", not fun to start you generator outside in the middle of the night in subfreezing...

    Red algae looking stuff growing on coral overnight!

    Thanks, I thought so. But it was given already in two ways (meq and dKH) under Alk. So OP is measuring it 2-3 different ways? Anyway, I fix upping flow in the area will be an easy fix.

    Red algae looking stuff growing on coral overnight!

    Can you direct your powerheads to the affected area? that always worked for me, clears red slime almost immediately. It is more tricky in difficult to access cornes, but you seem to have it out in the open. GL. BTW, what is "KH"?

    Tank Raised Mandarins

    Very beautiful, good luck! BTW, they say tank "up to 30 gallons" - do they mean not to put them in a bigger tank? if so, why? (I guess more difficult access for target feeding? still should not be such strict cut off?)
