Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Simply amazing MACRO shots there. Maybe when I grow up (Only 36 here) I can take some quality pics like that. For now I'll have to stick with my "Polaroid" take & shake instant camera

Anyone know what that is?

evad seriously IF you ever frag that first one I want one of it. WOW!!

Re: Post your favorite zoanthid pics thread

My understanding (which is limited!) is taht 100mm lens needs to be pretty close to the subject to focus - how do you get all of these specimens in "range"?!

Re: Post your favorite zoanthid pics thread

All of your zoanthids are great how do you get them to look this good. I have one that has reduced by 50% over the past 6 months and I'm trying to revive it
