    My yumas devour finely chopped raw shrimp. Goni react very well on RR. I've seen it opens and closes mouths and after feeding the tentacles looks significantly more inflated. But it doesn't consume all RR, if a polyp is closed it'll stay closed even with RR on it.

    You never complain about good purchases…only bad ones. If we spend $300 on pump…because the $600 one is too expensive….but really you needed the $600 one you now bought a $600 pump for $900.

    Im on almost 2 years no water change, 3 times a year i get an oceamo ms test for 65$ and correct from there. Unless there is an issue from the water test would be the only reason I would do a water change at this point. It works and works well once you realize fish and coral like stability almost as much as they like the parameters to be within that happy range

    • @Evan-mh7it
      @Evan-mh7it 6 днів тому

      Moonshine type methods may not be for everyone, but pretty hard to deny at this point that it works, there are large scale operation, tanks bigger than what tian has by 10s of thousands of gallons, applying this method with success. Doesnt mean you never do water changes, means u do them when needed, and the cost savings of less water changes shouldnt be neglected

    $250k for 17 year breakeven is a bad deal like you stated. Just comparing that to the stock market or any reasonable investment, you're losing a ton of money. Even if you lowball at 4% that's close to double your investment ending around $486k or with 8% you'd be looking at $925k vs just breaking even and getting your initial investment back. With preowned panels and doing it yourself, yes, it would be worth it. But definitely not if the electricity is SO CHEAP! That is just wild!
