I still have quite a few black and white Ocellaris Clowns available if anyone is interested...asking $30.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If anyone is needing Rotifers, I keep a culture going and can usually have some available anytime... Asking $20 for a bag of approximately 4 million. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have some baby black and white Ocellaris clowns that are ready for their own tank. They’re eating small dry fish food. They’re still orange mostly, but will be black and white as they grow up. Asking $30 ea...

I have about 30 very healthy little Banngai Cardinals. They’re about 3/4 inch. I’m asking $15.ea. If anyone is interested.

It’s a beautiful fish...I may try one, I don’t mind the special feeding requirements, just don’t want my corals to suffer. Thanks for the info! Also, if you still want a cardinal, they’re ready. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nip at corals at all?? Google search says it’s difficult to keep??? What say you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What kind of fish is that black/white striped one with the yellow? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How’s your gold flake doing?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

lol, sure..[emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As soon as they’re weaned off the brine shrimp hatchlings and on dry food, I’ll get some to you. Probably a few weeks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone wanting a Cardinal fish? lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice fish John! I saw one at aquadome a few months ago and wanted it so bad, but I have two other Angels and he was $500..so I waited, they are magnificent! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The way I understand it is, the sulfur media eventually harbors bacteria that reduces phosphates. Your method will only grow anaerobic bacteria, which is beneficial too.. but it could be used more efficiently inside a reactor. Sulfur nitrate reactors use small beads of elemental sulfur in a contact chamber. Water is introduced very slowly. As the water is dripped in and dripped out slowly, all oxygen is removed, making the water anaerobic in the contact chamber. At this point, bacteria will use nitrate in the absence of oxygen and by the time the water exits the reactor, most of the nitrate has been removed. The reactor can be outfitted with a circulation pump that keeps the water circulating inside the reactor without introducing any oxygen. The downside to this chemical reaction is that hydrogen ions are released, which makes the seawater more acidic. Most sulfur reactors pass water over crushed coral before returning it to the tank, as the acidic water dissolves the crushed coral and replenishes ph and calcium. Since sulfate is another bi-product of the chemical reaction within the reactor, crushed coral also absorbs this and removes it before water re-enters the aquarium. The plus-side to sulfur based reactors is that they are almost maintenance free. The sulfur beads last a long time, with some systems advertising that they never need replaced. The crushed coral media will dissolve over time and need replaced, but even that can last for extended periods. They are much easier to use and maintain, and don’t carry the risks associated with traditional nitrate reactors, or bio-pellets. Here’s a pic of mine, with a protein skimmer taking in the water exiting the sulfur reactor, it’s eliminated all algae and cyanobacteria. It’s well worth the cost. It requires a lift pump to supply the slow drip of water from the sump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
