THESE THREE PICTURES SHOW SALLY JO'S 55 GALLON SPS BROOD STOCK REEF AS IT GREW DURING LATE 1997 One of the most frequent questions that I have received this winter has to do with how I get the coralline algae growth that I show in these pictures. I want to state one more time for all who read this that I am only sharing these results because you ask for them. I am not trying to promote one product over another, there is more than one way to do it right. However because so many have asked I want to share these results so that they to can have the same positive experience that I have had time and time again. Also many people have reported back that it works for them as well. I am willing and very interested in learning as many methods as I can, but I refuse to change what I am doing with the three liquid additives because it works. (if its not broken don't fix it) This is a hard standard to live by when one always wants to try something new or be doing something with their tank. I am doing so many other experiments that I just want all of tanks to thrive and all of the corals to grow rapidly.
Seachem supplements.
Seachem
Reef Plus one capful twice a week in the sump
THIS IS THE DOSE FOR EACH GALLON OF MAKE UP WATER -
One heaping teaspoon of pickling lime three times in a row. - We purchase BALL JAR company pickling lime in our local Grocery store. Set for 24 hours and drip in. repeat the process. Make sure you clean out the container after each use. Another note is that we make up the pickling lime water in advance and allow it to sit for an entire day before dripping in my reef. LeRoy did not use the pickling lime in the make up water for the last 18 weeks - just the Seachem Reef Builder and the Seachem Reef Advantage - I saw a great increaes in coralline growth.
ONLY DUST LINK WE MAKE THIS DUST BY HAND FROM PETRIFIED CORALLINE ALGAE FROM THE SECOND DEEPEST CANYON IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES |
THIS FIRST PICTURE SHOWS MY REEF IN JULY 1997.
NOTICE THE GREEN BALI SLIMER SPS CORAL IN THE
UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE REEF.
THIS IS THE SAME REEF AQUARIUM IN OCTOBER 1997
THE BALI SLIMER WAS ABOUT TO BE FRAGGED.
Thank all of you who have been so generous with your purchases of Reef JanitorsTM ! This project is the reason we can continue to provide you with this web site. There are many more things we are learning and we look forward to sharing them with you. A special thanks to the hundreds of people who have sent us E-mails telling us how good our Janitors are doing. We love to here from people who have had the same Janitors for over one year. LeRoy started researching tropical Janitors because he thought is was a shame that Astrea snails and Turbo snails had such a short life in the Aquarium. We recieved a letter from one aquarist who has had his Janitors for 3 years now. Thank you all again. |
