It's a pity for people, what are they guilty of?
I've encountered this more than once; you come to such people with such an aquarium, you tell them that everything should be different and that they've been deceived, and their spirits drop, and they no longer want any sea, feeling resentment towards the whole world.
The phrase "they were played like fools" fits well, it's a pity.

What is this link to some website? Are they Turks? Do they work in Kyiv?
Jesse3979
Yes, they are Turks - "Turks"
David
I remember the Turks offered "Life Rock" cheaply in the office (complete dead weight) --- that's what they apparently launched on!!!! Yes! I recalled the price was $4 for 1 kg. That was 2 years ago (I was there with Om and Sokolovsky). By the way, the Turks said they were shutting down the business (there's no one left to fool).
Adrienne
I also saw that stone with them: a regular bare tuff stone (it might be lying with the Living Stones).
Lindsey3628
Ray very accurately defined it (they were fooled like... I often encounter this, and I have to explain, show, and convince people, which is difficult. The client paid a considerable amount of money, and again we have to start everything from scratch, and that's when resentment and disappointment come.
Larry9400
that's for sure and no one will return their money either, the amount is not small, not to mention the ruined mood from such a "fishbowl"....

The point is not rotten. The biggest issue is with the stand. The rest can be easily fixed with replacement and additional external equipment. The absence of live rocks and live plants is not a reason for panic or any concern at all.
I am in favor of a reef without live rocks on plastic, filled to the brim with hard materials. If you don't know how this is done, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Overall, dealing with the stand will require a lot of effort, so it won't be possible to fix it without a restart.

There, everything needs to be redone... the cost of tuff and live stones is where the difference lies... whether they want it or not is their business; money needs to be invested again... in the aquarium...
They scammed people out of money... such "specialists" need to be kicked out.
Jill9137
Is it possible to find some information on this issue somewhere?
Timothy
Indeed! They have bred pseudo-specialists!!! I remember there was a Turk at the very beginning who shouted (we will bring you all to your knees!!!!) what a fool!
Helen
At Stepanov's place, at least at home, that's exactly how it is.
Sara4035
Can you be more specific?
Kellie
What kind of reef without live stones is this? It's complete nonsense for cheapskates who are just trying to comfort themselves. Everything has to be precise and similar; it's not even interesting to travel on this topic.
Zachary
There's no need to be so categorical. And especially to speak so harshly towards the forum members. There are systems on plastic. Everyone chooses for themselves....(c) I read that these systems are quite effective (I haven't tried them personally). The thing is, such an aquarium resembles a laboratory table and is as far from a reef biotope as a hydroponic garden is from a landscaped area. But that's my subjective opinion.
Bonnie
)))) And you will plant akrapor and understand ))))
Danielle
How does he run water through UV? I don't get it.
John
Very well-articulated thought, I fully support it...
John3165
I will try to formulate my thought. If I misunderstand anything, please correct me. The functions of live rocks are:
1. For beauty, which is natural for a reef.
2. For biological filtration, which is much more important!
What is meant by biological filtration? The colonization of the filter with the necessary bacteria! Bacteria do not care what they settle on as long as the substrate is suitable. It seems to me that the only difference is that live rocks are already colonized, which means the adaptation period will be shorter. A good example is the aquarium in the store, where, as far as I know, there are practically no live rocks.
Joyce
I'm a beginner, and time will tell. Of course, I don't have acropora yet, but I will definitely get some. My friend has a water body, thank God, and he has acropora for about two or three years, along with three types of gonipora, two types of fungia and heliopora, three types of anemones, three types of xenia, three types of sarcophyton, pseudoplexaura, stereonephthya, and quite a few other things, which are not trivial. They live and grow without all those gadgets. As for the skimmer, yes, it’s in a 25-60-55 tank, and there are two limewood diffusers and a heater on the side.
Monica
Why is it so hard to understand UV from above water? It goes from one head to UV and then to water. Or can it only work under water?
Diana7891
This is not true. The proof can be found in the book "Reef Nano Aquariums, Equipment and Care" by Daniel Knop. I have the book in my hands... as soon as I get it back, I will send a text about anaerobic and aerobic bacteria...
Sheila
Especially funny about the slime... a colony of bacteria.
David953
The biological filter is populated with a large number of nitrifying bacteria, which cannot be replaced by any bio-bacteria, and these bacteria in the biological filter reproduce very quickly and neutralize ammonium, while all other animals and algae use all of this as food. What is the difference between nitrifying bacteria and bio-bacteria?
Lindsey3628
So what kind of layout is that? And what about nitrifying bacteria, aren't they bio???. And what does the word bio even mean?
Joseph2576
Yes, you started to create BIO here...
How can a bacterium not be "BIO"?
Christine
And what is so funny to you, dear? Have you never seen a cluster of bacteria? It looks very much like slime. I personally haven't cracked any stones - that's according to Tkach. But it's very clearly visible in canister filters. I could very well be mistaken. I'll read up and fill in the gaps in my knowledge.
James8887
Well, I don't know, I used this digest along with Bioptim. I didn't see any miracles, but the overall condition of the aquarium improved somewhat. I decided to give it a try after reading this article; the person uses it and is satisfied.
John3142
So here's the deal: five people took these ampoules, and the two of us checked them and realized they were either fake or a scam, while the other three took a package each and when asked, they said everything was great or didn't want to admit they messed up. It could be that this batch brought from Poland is a counterfeit. Well, I won't make a second attempt; I don't need them anymore.
Andrea8397
You read it carelessly: "stuffed to the brim with hard" - this is where the whole meaning lies.
Andrea8397
In my opinion, bacteria in the ampoule is nonsense, and if they are not there, then it's nonsense twice over.
Just add water from the working system.

I completely agree with Shere Khan, a normal riff without a j/k is impossible. It's better not to spare money and buy from time-tested sellers.
