Hi,
I am thinking of setting up a 50 gallon ceph tank. (I currently run a 150g SPS reef tank)
I would like to know whether anybody uses live phytoplankton to increase critter biomass. Any particular species of live phyto ? (nanno?)
Also, has anyone tried running a tank using Miracle Mud or similar - and dispensing with a skimmer (but possibly increasing mechanical filtration?)
I am strongly considering linking the two systems together - should there be any problem with this?.... (assuming common filtration)
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrates - 0
Phosphates - 0
Calcium 430
Alk 9.1
Salinity 1.026
Magnesium 1250-1300
Many thanks for your help
Elliot
