Questions - Need some input

I have questions that need answers.

  1. Blue Life Phosphate RX dosing?

    Just to clarify heres the directions on the container,


    Six drops of Phosphate Control will lower your phosphate by 1 ppm (mg/L) for every 10 gallons (37.9 liters) of water.


    Does that mean 1.0 ppm or .01ppm?


    My phos is testing at .04 on Hanna and I was going to dose 72 drops.

    My tank volume minus rocks and sand is 120 gallons, so 6 drops X 12 = 72 drops to drop my phos by .01?
  2. Brine Shrimp hatching?

    Does anybody still hatch there own Brine Shrimp? Melev, I was reading on your site that you once did.

    I was thinking of buying a cheap hatchery and adding them to my tank once in a while.

  4. Thinking of ditching my LED's for good ol' T5's

    Am I crazy?

    I switched to LED's in July of 2011 since then my fixture has almost 9,000 hours on it. I've been reading that LED's start to lose par even after the first year. I've noticed my growth has really started to slow, since probably last year, and with my LPS die off I'm thinking it may be the lights either too bright for my system or not enough.

    So I am thinking of getting an ATI Sunpower Dimmable fixture 6X54w for my 90. Anybody have experience with these fixtures? ...

  5. Bluelife Phosphate Rx

    I am curious if Bluelife Phosphate Rx is a good means of controlling phosphate? I know a few of you guys on here dose this. Would it be a cost effective means?

    Could it replace GFO?

    Also I noticed they only sell it in 1 oz bottles. How many drops would be in a bottle?

    Thanks guys.
