Trying Polyp Lab's "System Reef-resh" this weekend.

I think the term "plankton" usually refers to "zooplankton". Basically "phyto"=plants "zoo"=animals.

Although now that I think of it, does that still work for "zooxanthellae"? Zooxanthellae are dinoflagellates, which I thought was more like a photosynthetic bacterium. Are they capable of motion? I'm not sure.

I guess I'm taking the thread off track now. Whoops, sorry...

Tony here's an interesting tidbit. If my "non-photosynthetic' yellow gorgonion happens to be closed when I clean the green algae off my glass it creates a feeding response and the polyps open up. So then the question is; do they eat phyto or zoo, or both? Again off topic...
Now back on topic:
I just metioned in the other thread about reef resh that my devils hand's polyps are now open all day but had been closed for 2 years straight before I started the RF program.

I wonder if Polyp Labs is still following this?

1) should I vacuum out the bio-films when doing a water change? (the stuff full of bubbles on some of the rocks?)

2) can I dose all three of the little bottles at the same time (dark hours)?

I can answer this one, Yes. Well actually I should clarify that by saying I think so because I sometimes do with no negative results. The genesis can go in at anytime and the other two go in after lights out. I dose the "fuel & genesis" at the same time at the start of the photoperiod. Although when I am going to be away I put a weeks worth of all 3 together the night before I leave so my wife only has to dose the "fuel" daily.

Anybody notice that the one small bottle of pink stuff (can't remember the name right now) lasts a lot longer then the other two small bottles?

I think I will not need the pink bottle for my third set of reefrefresh.

Same here, I will soon need a refill of the other products but have lots of the pink stuff left.
