If you have a yellow tang who eats some of the algae will this hurt him
cliff, I'm dosing AF but i have a question regarding the frequency of it, it says every 3 days. i just dosed on Saturday now would my next dose be monday or tuesday?
corey
What populations are we sure it works on outside of the intended target? Did anyone notice a specific collateral loss or are we talking theoretical or strictly microbial/invisible losses
Start with nitrifying bacteria, we must assume it has some element of selectivity (at least in threshold maximums) among microorganisms since these don't die off while other x populations do...
Its helpful to know the specific unintended populations affected by this or any other systemic doser to at least get a real idea of what's going on, I figure af being a for profit doser has been tested, and someone might have specifics on how the biocide targets algae over nitrifiers?
I have been using it for about 10 doses so far. After vaccuming out the majority of the existing GHA I have seen very little regrowth. The only problem I have noticed is that a cleaner shrimp and a peppermint shrimp died within 2 days of the first dose. I have had both shrimp for as long as my tank has been cycled. Other than that I ave noticed my zoas have slowly started to close and not reopen. I haven't had time to read through the entire thread but has anyone else had similar problems?
Cliff you know Im trying to extrapolate known effects of AF into some kind of explanation for how peroxide works and has minor selectivity, at least between nitrifiers and X targetjust a reach lol.
Hi all,
Was just going throught this thread which has been very helpful.
Currently i have GHA issues, and just ordered algaefix.
Apart from all the corals and fish in my 15gallontank and 10 gallon refugium.
I have a cleaner shrimp and pistol shrimp.
Should i be worried about them if I am using this product ?
Plz advise ?
