metrokat Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 The Cat/Fish bathroom is close to the tank with my cat's litter box. I can always blame the cat. Small bit of GFO is now tumbling. You know you're a salt addict when you can pull reactors, extra fuge lights, extra pumps, heaters, tanks out of seemingly thin air. 1 Quote Link to comment

You know you're a salt addict when you can pull reactors, extra fuge lights, extra pumps, heaters, tanks out of seemingly thin air. Hobbyists IMHO are categorized in 4 categories: 1. Novice - mushrooms ( prefers shade, often out shined by other corals) 2. Intermediate - zoas (somewhat successful with occasional meltdowns) 3. Advanced - xenias (compulsive upgrade junkies, overtaking all storage places with useless gear) 4. Acros - (overshadowing other corals, closest corals to light/knowledge) 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 The cat and I were just watching the fuge. The mandarin puts me to sleep, such a gentle swimmer, so soothing. 2 Quote Link to comment

Rehype Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yessuh. No more moping around. TWELVE FISH ARRIVE TOMORROW! Howz that for Fishmas? Sounds awesome..... I love threadfin cardinals. I wasnt able to get mine to shoal except when eating or if they were frightened but I did get them to breed. You have a much larger system than mine so hopefully that will encourage the shoaling behavior. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah they're the same AFAIK. I ordered 10, and 2 springers damsel to make a trio with the one I already have. Tomorrow is the day! I should probably watch a couple episodes of Sons of Anarchy now and get my bad boy on. 2 Quote Link to comment

tibbsy07 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I don't see any reason microbelift should smell like that... Who makes it? Quote Link to comment
hey Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I don't see any reason microbelift should smell like that... Who makes it? https://www.microbelift.com/ special blend is the product that smells like a fist full of buttholes heres the youtube link of their microscope analysis of it. blah thats for PL their pond equivalent Quote Link to comment
Maniu Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I don't see any reason microbelift should smell like that... Who makes it? I think it is some sort of preservative to sustain healthy bacteria. It is said that it (smell) eventually goes away............. let's hope so Quote Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Ok, I just read their msds and the microbes in this are likely to be soil microbes. I suggest this because their product can be used safely for fresh AND salt water tanks, and the specific gravity of the suspension is 1.01, and the official odor labeled by the company is "mild earthy" suggesting to me that the organisms they put in their blend are microbes from soil which simply act as microbial food for the other microbes we want in our tank. Now, it's possible that they are using actual bacteria associated with the cycle we want, as I'm not sure the actual environmental constraints on the Nitrobacter, Nitrosomonas, and Nitrococcus species. I would assume that marine isolates would be different than freshwater isolates due to the drastically different environments, but I could be wrong. I'll email the. And see what I can find out.... 2 Quote Link to comment
aviator300 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I've received nothing but corpses, or things that turned into corpses within 24 hours, from Blue Zoo. The company is completely dead to me. I'm pretty sure I have a credit with them still that's going to expire. There's plenty of threads out there about how much they suck. I bought a Purple spot Mantis from Blue Zoo a couple months ago which arrived DOA. I was expecting a fight to get satisfaction from them but after dealing with a couple very nice and knowledgeable people there, Blue Zoo shipped me another Purple Spot Mantis within a week for no additional charge at all. They covered the cost of the animal and shipping. "Clarence" has been with me now since early November and is healthy and active. We always hear from those who have had bad experiences from vendors rather than from happy customers because upset people are more passionate than satisfied ones and tend to speak out more.

tibbsy07 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Ok, so I'm not sure about my previous post? Which product are we talking about? https://www.microbelift.com/products/home-aquarium/bacterial-products/ The technical director is a microbiologist, or so he claims. Their nite out stuff says exactly what is in it. The rest are vague. Quote Link to comment

I think what you described in your post is accurate though as chris! mentioned to me dosing too often has similar effects to vodka dosing, going to have to try nite out in conjunction with it now.
