Bang how do you dose the limewater? I think you said something about auto top-off, but what concentration do you mix the limewater and how much do you add to your top-off? Thanks.

I take the water from the DIY Kalk reactor feeding the lagoon. It is saturated limewater.
I fill up the whiskey bottle and it sits upside down in a container so that when the water level in the overflow drops limewater is siphoned into the overflow. It is then sucked up by the skimmer and blown into the tank.

You have a lagoon?!

 

[bang guy]

Right now the Lagoon has an Aiptasia outbreak.

Get about twenty peppies for the lagoon Bang, they will make short work of it!

Run a search on "lagoonal reef" or "lagoon".
Bang Guy's lagoon is unsurpassed by any other I know of. It is awesome.

 

[nemo lover]

are you using those Aiptasia eating worms in the lagoon too?

 

[bang guy]

Not yet. Soon. It will be an excellent test.

How about copper banded butterfly fish? THey have been used in propagation tanks on other sites with good results (G_eothermal A_quaculture R_esearch F_oundation . org) under: controlling pests: aipstasia. Your lagoon should keep one distracted enough to prevent them from bothering coral. Ya think?
Also, auto top off--clever.
