Ezsharkman Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 yeah... i have the marine snow... and add it prolly once a week, maybe just a third of a cupful. I mix it with other goodies(mysis.cylop.etc) and use it to spot feed my corals. that reminds me, its been about a week and a half since i last did that. "POOP!" Link to comment
Joe Dirt Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Have you considered just getting the stock LED hood? I know it's not cheap, but no DIY. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 When I was dosing the vitas and oyster feast, my numbers were normal ... somewhere along that line something must of happened... okay, oh well this is a easy fix in my eyes as long as it is handled promptly. I have been doing that once aweek.... However, I think I will modify that now and change up the dosing a tad.... so basically I have figured out my No spike issue and thank you folks. I greatly am thankful for the additional help. Yay! Now to bring my No down again.... Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 yes... i have read that if to much is added it can cause a spike in No and even cause bad algae problems. I would cut back on the use of feast/snow. prolly not good to add everyday... think of it more as a treat... like carrot cake 4 your tank. Yum! My dog goes crazy for carrots. She needs a skimmer so she can feed more than once a week Now that I'm doing 3-4 times a week my coral color and growth are heads and shoulders above anything I saw in the 20. Link to comment
