Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!

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!!

Re: Mandarins

Me too! And he was really detailed in what he did that seemed to work and what didn't work. Interesting that he saw failure when the nitrates were low. I guess they'd breed just fine in my reef then.

Re: Mandarins

Thats very cool, if they keep up with that research in a few years most everything should be available as Tank Raised specimens.

Re: Mandarins

There is a guy at the NJ shore that has had success breeding them as well. They are a few weeks old and I emailed him and asked if i would be able to get one when they get large enough and sure enough I will be getting a tank bred mandarin in a few months!!! He is even teaching them to eat flakes and pellets and whatnot, though my pod population is anything but scarce.
