wow nice video ! Im gonna try fraging like that tonight ! seems very interesting, specially the RO +Iodine part ! I assume it gets released over time from the cap as well, healing the polyp ... seems interesting.
thanks for sharing |

Can you tell me whats the best t5 bulbs you used and how long do you run them before been replaced with new ones. I see you replaced few tanks with new t5 pendants, what brand are they? Have you taken par readings on your tanks and how would your pendants compare to ATI Powermodules? Have you done test on led, reason I ask is that you mentioned that t5 more powerfull than led. Nineball (Coral reef in Canada) changing to full led on his 1650 gallon and is confident that it will work.

Very interesting video. I am also currious about why the iodine is put in RO and not salt water, it seems any part of the fragment/polyp that comes in contact would be damaged.

From korallenzucht I Just use Zeolites, Aminoacids and Coral Vitalizer. I do not use such product.
I could use any product in the frag tank but I would have to isolate it from the sump. All my tanks, including the frag tank, are connected to a common sump.

To avoid contaminations with AEFW (or other pests) I put all arrivals in quarantine for at least 3 months and If I find any plague I treat before putting them in the tanks.

The RO doesn't stress the polyp because RO is inside the tube and the living tissue of the polyp is not in contact with it.
