Hey! *I* provided the link first! Now my feelings are hurt. And it's a Q&A from his moonlighting at Aquarium Fish Magazine, September 2004 issue (I have the printed article). He may have talked about them in Vol 3 as well, but I doubt it's in a Q&A format there.

I stand corrected Tony - That Q&A actually formed the basis for what is written in Vol 3, which goes into much greater detail than anything I was able to find online.

Oh, my apologies for not giving credit where due...

THANKS FOR THE LINK TONY!

They have a couple articles on the subject in FAMA (just can't find it right now)

Also check out this article:

ok I kinda figured thats how it worked but don't you need darkness for anoxic bacteria? or just low O2?

Steve - ANoxic = sans oxygen... light plays no part in that.

ya I figured that out but it is used wrong..

anoxic is water with no dissolved O2, not to be used for a description of a organism. when talking about bacteria (or an organism) that lives in low or no O2 levels we should use Anaerobic, which means without oxygen. More specifically, it refers to occurring or living without oxygen present.

thats why it has always confused me when people use the anoxic bacteria term as it is not quite right and throws me off.

Allrighty folks... checked the test water today and it reads ZERO... much quicker than I had even hoped... this puppy is getting plumbed in to the main system tonight, I'm going to run the effluent through my calcium reactor that I haven't been using as well. One bonus is that I have 20g of water that I removed 2 weeks ago from the main system that I can now use again! Woohoo for the salt bill!
