Re: Dinoflagellates - The documented journey

There was some debate about using Phos sponges 24/7 some years back, but I personally decided it was unfounded and have taken the approach that anything that NEEDS to come out of the water column, should come out as soon as possible.

I don't run Phos sponges near as much as I used to and have enjoyed the employment of micro algae. I have run it 24/7 in the past and never found any issues using it as long as it was quality stuff that didn't leach metals into the tank.

Re: Dinoflagellates - The documented journey

If you shut a phosban reactor off for any length of time the water inside becomes foul. Then when you turn it on it flushes it back into the tank. I recommend 24/7. If you want to shut it down then tear it down until next time.
