I avoid chasing numbers, I go by how everything is reacting, and keep things consistent as far as feeding,,, dosing in automated and tested weekly, ICP once a month. coral snow is a flocculent and works well when storming the algae in the tank. I do use red sea AB+ , Kz products are good when...

substrates will develop gases so it is a good idea to put a few pieces of live rock over the sand, and get a pistol shrimp that will dig around daily, and stir up your sand bed.. That is what i did to my 20 gallon stand alone refugium that is attached to my 100G display. I have tons of pods...

If anyone is curious on the frame rail, I got them from a company called zyltech. Here is the link to the ones I got.. these are 30x30 mm square https://www.zyltech.com/zyltech-3030-black-anodized-extrusion-precut-length-up-to-2000mm/ they also have 20x20 mm rails as well...

I have the nuts on the top section of the rail already inserted, I just have to print out some hinges, and am going to use 1/4" plywood, and frame it with aluminum to prevent it from bowing. I will probably install magnets at the corners where they meet to prevent it from gapping. it will be a...

I I printed these corner tabs that rest on the glass and purchased a standard window screen frame from home depot, and some clear 1/8 square netting from ebay. If you need a set, I can print them for you at no charge... just pay for postage which should be a few bucks at the most.

the coral snow is by KZ and is sold at BRS. The yellow snow is a coral food sold by algae barn. The coral snow is mostly a calcium carbonate, not really sure if KZ puts anything else in there.. They are really secretive and will not list ingredients, but when its dry, it has a chalky finish on...

TLF product is called marine snow, nothing like the original coral snow by KZ...... I can see why you got confused.. lots of brands out there using the "snow" in their product description.

carbon leaches trace minerals, its nothing like coral snow. I think you were thinking of reef snow which is a food for corals.. there is only one coral snow that i, aware of and that is by KZ. there is a DIY formula that I use.

From what I understand, Coral snow is calcium carbonate that binds to organics helping skim out excess nutrients, and algae.

Its a fast way to strip out the Po4, and has to be controlled, just anther thing that you have to worry about,,, I like a simple solution like this stuff here https://www.algaebarn.com/shop/aquarium-supplies/pns-probio/ Coral snow is another way to control Po4. Also helps with the clarity of...

No GFO, that stuff is no bueno. Dosing PBNS, its working, it was way worse, under control now, also scrubbing out and dosing DIY coral snow. I threw in some dove snails, and now they are laying eggs everywhere....free CUC..

Here is a picture of the tank. Please dont mind the mess with the wire on the ground and dosing container.. just some extra stuff I have laying around that needs to go in the closet... my phone camera sucks also... I would have uploaded them sooner, but was busy printing parts all day to ship...

they are my design that I made for a coral farm, I sell them on reef2reef.

here is a pic of the tank when I first started to set up in feb 2021, but a lot has changed since then. steel powder coated frame, with 15Ply baltic birch playwood, coated with truck bed liner to water proof it.

I will upload a current picture tomorrow for sure, as the lights are low and about to turn off. I'm still upgrading the light rail system... I have a 100G Lee Mar that has 3 xr15 G5 mounted on a RMS rail, which I do not like. I started this build in 2021 of FEB. before that I had 3 other reef...
