Sixty, I dont believe bacterial rip cleaning accomplishes sandbed export though. It’s a topical fix, it doesn’t reduce particulate waste per Tarichas findings and per any cloud testing. It saves work though
only raw export exports sandbed waste. We would need to get to fifty pages of fixes and completely cleaned tanks to equivocate the two in regards to old tank syndrome fixes, but it’s gotta begin somewhere / that test and we have some readers ready to try so that’s a good start.
I have very, very low faith in waste away I’ve already watched it for about a decade in work threads but I rate it as totally safe to try
if we can put a dowel rod or stick in a sandbed and swoosh up a cloud of waste, that eventually has consequences in a reef tank but maybe they’re staved off a while longer.
a full rip clean tank has no dangerous pocketing in the sand, a huge handful can be lifted and dropped with no clouding and no consequence in a surgically ripped clean tank, it’s raw total physical export vs at best case reduction by a doser and then a small portion is liberated into the water column for catchment in filters or pads etc. I cannot fathom any doser producing a cloud free sandbed, it has no way to lift out particulate waste mass. Taricha shows in ineffective for that ability
