A gram is a unit of mass.
A cc (cubic centimetre) is a unit of volume.
They are incompatible for comparison.
It may help you to know that roughly 1 gram of water will fit into 1cc. So if you...
so by conveting 3.5 cc
means i will be able to feed 3.4 grams of frozend food daily
i feed triple of that daily with no issue
but i have some cyano algae in the refugee
is that the reason?
"I have been dosing randys 2-part for 2 years now,I only do about a 5% w/c per year,,If it not for mis-haps I would not even do that"

also can u please santa define pinches so i can translated to www.ourpetclub.com
or give me a picture
"Very nice growth."

hi santa my scrubber is 9*9 inch one sided screen with cfl bulb 85 watt real watt equivelent to 400 watt i think
how much could i feed daily from

nori...
dosing randy's 2 parts requires 10% water change weekly as he mentioned that water change is required the ionic balance (wich i cant understand )

can lowering level in skimeer would be good choice
my skimmer is not good brand anyway it also fill the cup after 3 weeks
i tried removing skimmer before
i got smell out of the tank
also the water turned aliitlte bit brown
so i am afraid to repeat that step

so for those guys working without the skimmer .... do u see any good results?
also can i make the skimmer running with no skimming .. like lowering the level of water inside the skimmer?
also...
dont think that the fugee flow and ligh is the suitable place for the screen to grow.... it may die and relase nutritents
