7-point screen is good; the holes are about 3mm diameter. But must be roughed up well. -
Moving aiptasia infested rock/coral to new tank
SantaMonica replied to Harumachibito's topic in Soft Coral Forum
Or just create an aipasia farm. -
First be careful of the poison... use a facemask and gloves. Then just glue part of the rock and let those zoa's be buried.

They do eat lots and lots of food particles in the water. Maybe some additional feeding will change the color.

Different between SSC & lemonade sps
SantaMonica replied to klyve's topic in SPS and Advanced Reefkeepers Forum
Those are such generic names, that you might have a better result by getting the scientific names and comparing those. -
Honey & milk dosing
SantaMonica replied to Firestarter's topic in SPS and Advanced Reefkeepers Forum
This is just food particle feeding. Small particles like the reef has. The more, the better. However there is a reason to think that using reef particles like pods, blended shrimp, etc, might be more accepted by the corals. Main point is to keep the particles in the water 24/7. And especially at night. -

Oils, from feeding. Same as the ocean. Means the corals are getting lots of food. -
Any reason for the hurry? Maybe they are client service tanks.

Chaeto Reactors compared to Algae Scrubbers
SantaMonica replied to SantaMonica's topic in General Reefkeeping_
In statistics, "n" needs to be a sizable number, so that the other variations cancel out. This is why surveys are done on thousands of people, not five. The simple experiments I mention are just hobbyists, with n=1 for each person. But there have been many over the last ten years. I did not keep a list of them, sorry. -
Chaeto Reactors compared to Algae Scrubbers
SantaMonica replied to SantaMonica's topic in General Reefkeeping_
My understanding of "studies" is a scientific undertaking, which reduces noise and variables, so that the data of interest become valid. For just "simple" experiments, these are already plentiful across the web and forums. -
Chaeto Reactors compared to Algae Scrubbers
SantaMonica replied to SantaMonica's topic in General Reefkeeping_
Studies are not too useful with n too low. At least n=100. Otherwise it's just anecdotal. And I already have thousands of anecdotal reports over the last 10 years.
