Im retarted, can someone give me the water turnover formula again. I thought it was you gallons multiplied by 20% turnover and you would get the number of gallons you need turned over per hour

i myself have used the dump methond and then waiting approx 2 months and now have a colony of pods to support almost anything i put into my 150gal. so i speak only from sucess. it is not a very expensive trial and the worst that can happen is that your fish get a tasty nutricious treat.
you can go online and purchase amphipods by the thousands and then dump them into your tank, they will head for the rocks and as long as thier are not lots of predators they will breed, your mandirn can then feed on them as well. :D
