Wait a second if I am reading this correct then adding this with sugar to tanks with ZEO will cuase rtn? And if you get RTN then your not feeding enough?
Thanks Michael

I made pappone and dosed it for the first time last night. Noticed alot of closed polyps durring the night on many stags.
My blue sponges didnt seem to react but I have a baseball size yellow sponge that has been closed up all day. Hopefully that is normal. |

Allora...facciamo un discorso generico. Thomas oligotrofiche significa molto povere di nutrienti. Non mi è mai piaciuto il metodo zeovit...sia per le molte integrazioni di tutte quelle varie bottigliette, sia perchè usa prodotti che, dal punto di vista biologico, reputo dannosi. qui si discute del pappone, nel metodo BC....io posso darvi informazioni sul metodo BC, non su problemi relativi allo zeovit.... l'rtn e il pappone non centra niente....l'rtn si verifica solo se si ha un forte aumento dei fosfati, a casua ad esempio, di uan quantitÃ* molto eccessiva di pappone immesso in vasca. lo zucchero, si usa nel metodo BC....nel metodo zeovit non si usa e è dannoso perchè tende a far scendere ancora di più i nutrienti. il pappone non è responsabile degli rtn, lo ripeto! ne tanto meno lo zucchero che viene immesso quando si prepara il pappone. nel metodo BC, si usano quelle quantitÃ* di pappone che vi ho sempre descritto...e cioè 1/4 di cubetto per 300 litri uan volta a settimana. questo è un dosaggio di sicurezza...io stò dosando ora nelal mia vasca di 280 litri 1/2 cubetto ogni 2 giorni..... purtroppo però io vi parlo di un metodo...se però si mischiano i vari metodi, quindi pappone e zeovit e poi si hanno problemi, io non posso aiutarvi....perchè il metodo BC, è chiaro e i parametri da rispettare sono ben stabiliti... mantenere ad esempio il kh a 12-14 in una vasca zeovit è estremamente pericoloso... il metabolismo dei coralli, in una vasca zeovit, di solito, è molto più lento...spingere quindi sulla crescita dosando pappone e mantenendo i valori alti di calcio, kh, magnesio ecc ecc, e allo stesso tempo aggiungere batteri (tipo zeostar) e spurgare gli animali(zeospur2) è molto pericoloso.... ripero quindi che il pappone e l'rtn non sono collegati! se fate le cose per bene, come vi ho sempre descritto questo non accade. chi ha riscontrato problemi di rtn usando il pappone deve : -controllare i fosfati -aggiungere carbone attivo -controllare meglio il metodo di gestione -controllare se ci sono animali nelle vicinanze che possano interferire e dannegiare l'animale colpito da rtn -potare le parti malate delal colonia e lasciare solo quelle sane -fare un bagno in acqua e iodio vorrei capire bene come mai si sono riscontrati questi problemi. probabilmente non seguite per bene quelle poche regole. due foto della mia vasca... la prima del 28 gennaio... le altre di qualche giorno fÃ*... i colori sono ancora molto scuri, a causa del trasloco effettuato circa 2 mesi fÃ*.... guardate però la crescita. ciao Fabio |

Zeo and other systems already carfully dose a carbon source to feed the bacs. By adding sugar it disrupts this and can be very harmful. Dosing the pappone without the sugar should be ok, but not with. I'd be careful mixing the two no matter what.
hth, eric

I just started dosing the pappone. I am excited to see the results.
I am going to keep a picture journal on my computer and post images in 6-8 weeks. -Chuck

I dont have time to translate the whole thing right now but he is saying that the mix of zeo and sugar is damaging to the corals because the addition of sugar drops the nutrient levels even more. Corals need some nutrition, dropping the nutrient level when they are already low can cause RTN.
Use either BC or zeo but do not mix them.

I have a couple questions for those of you using the Pappone, have you increased all of your paramaters to the elevated levels suggested in the thread?
Ca 500 Mg 1500-1600 Sr 30 Iodine 0,06 KH 12 PH 8.5 And if you have did you do it slowly? Are you having trouble keeping them at these levels? |

Second week of dosing.
My sponges didnt close up this time. Polyp extention on my corals was fenomenal this morning. My corals are loving this food. Grazie! |

controlla sempre i fosfati e non esagerare con il pappone... altrimenti,anche avendo fosfati bassi, potresti avere dei colori scuri...quindi con le giuste dosi.. ciao! |

I speak french and spanish so I understand what your saying sometimes. Im keeping my dose small as to not get a problem. I use the equivalent of 1/2 cubito for my 100 gallon system. Also running phosphate remover for prevention. Also dosing the aminos 1 hour before. ciao! |

bureau13,
You should check with a few local restaurants. They become more popular in the late spring to summer months. Check the phonebook for oyster bars or sushi restaurants. I'm sure the local commercial purveyors have them, just the groceries dont carry them. I'm in the foodservice biz and have never had a hard time procuring them from. I see you are in FLA. I know Hooters orignated there in Clearwater and they have them year round (stop laughing and dont ask !). HTH

Can we get some more in depth analysis on this translation. Should I be worried about RTN occuring on other corals? if it is possible that this RTN incident was related to the BC method (not saying it is), would your recomendation be for me to actually add more cubes at one time??? seems backwards - seems like I'd want to add less, right? Thanks, Ben |
