Photobucket is up again. :)
The pics in the tank were taken maybe 20 minutes after introduction. I have them on a rack for observation, and then that rack will be outta there! Dippy dip, and inspection. Nothing came off them. :) http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...202015%204.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...202015%203.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...202015%202.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...209%202015.jpg |

I love my Prodibio also. How come you add vinegar to your kalk? Do you add 3 tsp/day or just when needed. Maybe I should up mine. |
Quote:
The 3 tsp goes into 1 gallon of RO/DI and that mixture is dosed at a rate of 800 mL per day so the 3 tsp goes into the tank in a little under 5 days. I have room to dose more - it's not affecting pH much at this rate. |
So you dose vinegar in addition to Prodibio. Are they not a similar purpose?
Thats a beautiful batch of frags. |
Quote:
The vinegar is a carbon source, but the main purpose I use it for is to increase the saturation of kalkwasser. Yes, the frags are nice! Thanks to Coral Master Greg! :D |
Good info Mindy. Thanks. I use a Tunze kalk mixed, so assume vinegar can't just go in the make up water ?
|
There's nothing wrong with using vinegar in top off water as a carbon source except it will vary a bit depending how much evaporation there is.
You can't use It in your reactor though. |
Thanks Mindy, looking good :biggrin:

This is the aquacultured Mille that showed up with most of its zooxanthellae expelled a couple weeks ago. I don't see any green sheen anymore (yay). Looks like it will be blue, pink, purple.
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...202015%206.jpg This is another aquacultured piece I picked up at the same time. The branched were a rich forest green with blue tips. It's bleaching a bit, so maybe I have it in too much light. It's about 1/3 up the tank. I'm not sure what species it is - some sort of deepwater. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...202015%205.jpg This is Montipora capitata that I've had for a couple years. I like it, so it's staying for now even though it's a Monti. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...202015%204.jpg This is some sort of tabling Acro that came in on consignment at the LFS. There were some big chunks, but I just wanted a small chunk so I don't get weird growth pattern changes. I'm hoping it has more color to it, but I haven't seen any changes yet and I've had it about a month. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...202015%203.jpg This is a weed that isn't going to be staying in the tank. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...202015%202.jpg This was a nice surprise - I picked it up as a skin flap frag that was totally browned out and I had no idea what it was. It it super sensitive to alkalinity swings, and there were a couple low alkalinity issues not long before the tank transfer. I almost lost it. The green is normally a really deep green with neon magenta corallites. Some sort of SSC. It's been my favourite for a long time, but it grows painfully slow It's 2 years old. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...014%202015.jpg |
