  1. Looks like i'm finally setting up a Eheim Aquastyle that i won in a giveaway, 2011. I'll dust it off and get this thing going!

  2. Yeah Coming from the days of manually dosing DT's Phytoplankton, limited storage life, needed to be refrigerated, shaken- not stirred Lol. I've been waiting for a prolonged solution for quite some time.  

     

    Easybooster appears to be highly concentrated compared to live cultures that are packaged with seawater. My initial dosage will probably be 0.5ml per day, 0.1ml individual doses into the suction of my return pump via rigid 1/4" tubing.

  3. I've been wanting to retire my manual dosages of Algae Barn Phytoplankton in favor of automatically dosing Easy Reefs EasyBooster Phyto Gel. Georg from Easy Reefs has informed me that the peristaltic pump connector will be available in the US by late September. I think i'll go ahead an order a second GHL doser, Two(2) head version, which is upgradeable to a three(3) or four(4) head doser on a later date.

    Adding a second or more dosers to a ProfiLux is fairly simple, assign a PAB device(Doser 2) to the CAN-Bus System and make your configurations.

  4. The eel has been doing quite well ever since i added it to my system. I've been feeding it a single nickel sized portion of octopus three times a week and a few chunks of LRS Chunky Blend. 

    $22 at Whole Foods seafood counter.

    I'm starting to believe that it is not necessary for a lid. Most eels are dwellers(especially these golden dwarf moray eels) and they spend most of their time in caves, crevasses and porous structures. I'm not worried about it jumping since there's enough hiding places for it.


    Brian from Reefwise is working on getting me a second one, which i hope is spotted/leopard patterned.
