Carbon dosing - method testing started

Steve, Very cool project. I will be watching closely as you progress. Thank you in advance for your time and energy.

 

Thank you Jerseyreefer

update - algae is now kicking in big time - not done any testing at all yet, want to get rid of the diatoms and have the tanks full of greens and reds before bothering

have 1 decent hitchhiker that seems to be doing OK and probably benefiting from the lquid supplements I have been adding to fuel the algaes

 

various close up images
close ups so you can see algae types and the hitchhiker

 

Nice hitchhiker tanks are looking good. When are you goof to start the carbons?

thanks malac0da13
Im going to wait until all brown has gone, and only green/ reds are present
at that stage, I will also test Nitrate and Phosphate
and in the mean time will continue to share water between the 4 set ups in order to try and keep levels similar between the 4

 

thanks for the update steve! this is a great idea and looking forward to your results as much as i'm sure everyone is

saw this thread when it started but didnt have time to comment so could never find it again! will be able to follow it now

 

Looking good! (never thought someone would be saying that to a tank full of algae did you?) LOL

Can't wait to see the results of this, Thanks again for the contribution of time, effort and expenses. You're really doing the reefing some serious good.

K+ to you

 

Oh I can not wait for the games to begin. It looks you hit the jackpot algae wise and image #2 looks like it may have some crystophytes ( the fluffy whitish colored stuff). I would love to see what the carbon dosing would do for that.

 

Nice going, Steve! That's getting green quick!
I have my money on the GFO for the green algae. For the brown slimy ones it seems to run into a problem..... as if it could not keep up with it after 3 weeks, 4 at the top. I can't wait to see the most filthy tanks in the world match up to the salt water industry.

I'm having problems with the first few sets of pictures of the beginning of this thread. I cannot get them to show on my phone. The last set does show fine though.
