you can. try it. also what works is live brine shrimp.

 

[troy989]

im to lazy to feed live brine shrimp i feed them frozen and its a pain to walk downstairs and get it

 

[nissan577]

then i guess all you can do is get one that eats frozen brine and mysis

 

[troy989]

cant i grow copepods in refugium

 

[troy989]

i just thought of something i can have a mini fridge and put shrimp in the icebox

 

[nissan577]

yea you can grow.

 

[troy989]

forgot to post results of test nitrite went down to .5!!!!!! and amonia is between 0-.25 but every single test its been the exact same thing so should i just call it 0

 

[troy989]

ive g2g for about 30 mins but ill be back

 

[nissan577]

we want nitrate results! ok

 

[troy989]

i was tired i know i shouldve but they wil go up right because of nitrites going down? then after the nitrite goes up and then down isnt the cycle over!!!!!!!!!

 

[troy989]
