sethsolomon Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Wish I could offer assistance with frag sitting. When feeding phyto do you see an increase in nitrates / phospates? No spike in nitrated or phosphates that i have noticed. The thing about live phyto is that it helps absorb nitrates and phosphates. The bottled garbage that they sell in stores will increase nitrates and phosphates due to the phyto dying off due to not having oxygen and light. And thanks for the offer of frag sitting. I am still waiting from the possible employer to know if I will be moving or not. I am mainly worried about my 16-18 inch clam and trying to get it down to texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I could host a giant clam but not sure about the room for a ton of colonies. My rockwork is simple and I have a giant 10" x 24" gap in the middle of my two rock islands that a giant clam could make himself comfortable in for a few months.

I will hit you up when the time comes. I most likely will have to ship him via South West Freight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yikes! Make sure you poke air holes in that box for it to breathe! If he's too pretty, I'm going to tell you his foot attached to the bottom of the tank and you'll just have to sell him to me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 A monster like that... who needs biopellets. It'll probably suck out all the nitrates in your tank just by itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethsolomon Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 A monster like that... who needs biopellets. It'll probably suck out all the nitrates in your tank just by itself! it definitely helps It also tanks calcium like nobody's business The day I put that in my tank I tested my calcium it was at 490 and the next day it was down to 390. Proceeded to go buy a calcium reactor that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Wow! It's like when I moved my giant acro colonies. I moved 3 of them from the old tank to the new tank, about the size of a football each, and was too tired to move over the CaRX that night. The next morning, my alk went from 7.5 dKh to something like 5.8 dKh! Yowzers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethsolomon Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yup gotta love it I have an extra small calcium reactor I can send with it if needed to help keep up with the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It might not be a bad idea. I have the Korallin C1502 but it's only rated to 300-400 gallons. I'm currently at 250 gallons and probably getting close to max. Been eyeballing a larger CaRX the last couple of months but haven't found a good used one anywhere. At worst, I can put kalk in my ATO and that'll buy me some time until the behemoth leaves me. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo662 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Any updates on the move? How about those pics? Where's the best place to get starter cultures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethsolomon Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Any updates on the move? How about those pics? Where's the best place to get starter cultures? Unfortunately I have not heard back from the company yet. :/ The main problem with getting phyto cultures is most people say that they have 1 phyto but 90% of the time it is Nannochloropsis. I get my cultures from a bio-medical company in California that a buddy works for. But if you're interested in starter cultures I can mail you some. As for pics, I decided to overhaul my phyto system this weekend so it is currently in pieces and should be done within the next 2 days. I am upping my air supply system.
