Hello everybody. I have found myself lurking around this forum quite often these days, after i broke down my sps ,zeovit reef last year. I am gathering information on nps , mainly dendronephthea , as i may re-set up the old aquarium to cater for these animalls.
I have read some threads from start to finish ,and understand that bacteria is recognised as a major food source for dendronephtheas ,and that people are coming up with ingeneous ways of feeding this to their aquariums.
But please forgive me if i have missed some information or something , but i have not seen anything regarding the bacterial mulm from zeo reactors.
Now i do not think i would like to set up a fill blown blown zeovit system again as it was the expense which was one of the reasons that i broke down the tank, but i think maybe the use of a zeo reactor along with some inert media( live rock rubble , or some porous ceramic media) as a base for bacteria to grow on could be beneficial to these corals. As for the bacterial part, i am not sure about. Maybe dosing vodka/acetic acid to feed the the already present bacteria into growink bigger poulations, or use a commercial brand of bacteria alongside the matching carbon source.The main difference with this method ,as opposed to using bateria to create an ulns, is i suppose ,we wouldnt want to skim off the resulting mulm(nutrient export) but rather watch the corals eat it. pleas let me know if any of you can see any unseen (on my part) problemswith this method.
Or pleas put me straight if this method has been disscused before.
Sory for long post,daniel.
