I cannot reference any science links or studies, but I remember reading someplace that the idea was that there was a localized pH drop at the rock surface caused by bacteria.

So bacteria coat the...

The Dazs thing does look just like the hydor rotating cover thing.

The rotating eductor thing looks interesting, but based on the video I think you might need a higher back pressure rated pump. ...

This seems like a good option on a sump system, thinking if one could be really small on an All In One system (back wall sump).
Hey, how do you harvest without ripping out the ribbons you glued on...

Forget the iron nail. Use GFO if you need to absorb phosphate, use seachem flourish iron or similar if your algae is iron limited.

Try a soak in Oxyclean and a rinse of RO/DI. The OxyClean (with no additives), makes a high pH, hydrogen peroxide solution; wax shouldn't stand a chance.

Hey, maybe you can regen the GAC with an ozone generator:

I don't know that you would culture (on what medias) and count and apply that to an aquarium. Wouldn't it be better to somehow isolate from the atmosphere and measure the oxygen consumption of a...

Hmm, vertical dump bucket scrubber. Could use it for wave action too...

I think you can pump through a closed bottle. Pump -> tube to bottom of bottle, just above kalk layer -> tube with inlet up high -> sump. It might be a pain to get it not to dust cloud up the...

Nice find Garf, here are the instructions:

That's actually an Oceanic biocube, but we're talking about the JBJ 28 nano cube. The rear sump chamber(s) are setup differently, and I don't think that waterfall type design would work as easily on...

Hi,

I have the same tank and have been thinking about trying an ATS in it too. My question is here:

You can see...

One cubic centimeter equals one milliliter, and one cubic centimeter of water weighs one gram.

There is a post in the nano forums on reefcentral for the JBJ 28g, where they are using a CCAS. But they are doing it out of necessity more than choice, it's a natural fit for this particular nano...

I think that is called countercurrent, so maybe CCAS?

Just wanted to point out that there is a good posting for an ATS on a JBJ 28g over on the reefcentral Nano forums.

Wow, so if you used PWM dimming LED driver, and set it to 50% for 24 hours, you would get about the same photosynthesis as a 12 hour light / 12 hour dark combination? But the main difference is that...

It seems like you would want to provide more features than just on/off light timing on the ATS:
-on/off timer
-PWM(blink vs. current) LED dimming
-tunze silence 1073 controllable feed pump...

I don't think you can just dissolve it in acid and test. There are some acid, heat, persulfate and/or UV digestion procedures that are used to do some conversion to measurable N and P; but I think...

So if you had fed this ATS from your drain instead of a dedicated pump, the pump build-up failure would not have happened? Assuming that a drain fed system would be as controllable?
