I think you could put it in and it would be absolutely fine as the "dust" is just the grounds of the sintered glass from rubbing. But I gave mine a quick wash with RO just cos it felt right lolGreat. I was thinking of something similar too. Do u use some RO to rinse it off or jusy tap water?
Care to upload a picture mate please?I went to the two dollar shop and found some great plastic organiser perforated containers to hold the Sips. Kinda makes a far neater option and time saver than making egg crate boxes.
I'll take pics when i get home.Care to upload a picture mate please?
I have just filled a bucket with fresly mixed salt water added few drops of aquaforest PRO BIO S and NP PRO and soaked all the siporax in there for seeding. After 18hrs took a couple of bags and chucked them in the sump and left the other bag to incubate for another 24 hours. Just a microbiologist approach
Will test water and post them here and will test progression as well.
Have you worked out how fast your Nitrate and phos drop if you withheld feeding for a day?I think I've found the limit of my 2 litres of siporax in my 70 litre tank.. :rofl
Just tested nitrate and phospate for the first time in about 2 months.
Only reason I did is I've had a decline in coralline algae and some sps have looked not brown but way to dark with slow growth, actually no growth.
I was a bit surprised at the numbers but I have been feeding a terrible amount of food. Like 4 times a day lol
Nitrate 50ppm
Phos 1.74ppm
Amazingly I have not got a spec of algae in the tank, in fact other than algae on the glass there is none anywhere in the tank.
I'll reduce feedings back to once a day and let it drop with water changes and monitor.
No I haven't actually. Works been a bit hectic lately with 12 hour days so I've just been testing sundays but I'm on a sicky today and just did some tests! So I won't feed and try and get another test tomorrow morning or night.Have you worked out how fast your Nitrate and phos drop if you withheld feeding for a day?
What are you feeding your tank with?The last of my 10 lts went in just before christmas but nitrates are still sitting at 50
