who's turkey basting and not on thanksgiving.

Who's routinely using a turkey baster to blow debris or algae off live rock or sand bed? Ive recently got my nitrates down to zero (0)., and its time to tackle my cyano.. So ive cut back on daylights from 9 hours to 6hrs a day. its helping.. never turkey baster before.. and have been doing it last 3 days.. seems to work well.. I just got my LR clean of cyano, and I decide to scrap off all my pink coraline from glass to seed the clean live rock now..

if you do use this form of LR cleaning, how often do you do it and whats your results?

 

I use a turkey baster to blast my rocks every time I do a water change. It is amazing how much junk settles on the rocks! It's really helped get my nitrates down.

 

I blow the rocks down once in a while

 

about once a week for me.

 

i do it once in a while, mainly whenever i look at it, or if im just tired of looking at cyano, i try so hard not to dust my DSB but sometimes i accidently squirt it, when i dust the rocks my tank clouds up soo bad but after it settles it looks all pretty again with most of the cyano gone

so i say once or twice a week, im probably doing it too often

 

I'm basting tonight,i got my skimmer up and working(finally)now i'm gonna boil some water a burn a couple aiptasia to death !!

 

Ever use a pump ? Its easier and does a better job I found if you have enough internal circulation and enough snails and crabs and a few emerald crab then its never a problem .I'd get myself a diatom filter to cleanb up a tank will suck up the waste as well and polish the water so clear you could not even see the water

 

Ive tried to use one of my sureflows PH (1400gph) and my corals get pissed.. so the baster is a better option for me as I can control the flow and aim in tighter places.. but I do use powerhead once in a while..

 

I use a 60cc tube feeding syringe. I get 'em from our dietitian at the work. ;D
They work great!!!

 

i started to blast my rock ever since I decided little piles of dust on my tankbed are bad
