Non so se Picci ha postato anche questo, ma vi consiglio vivamente di leggerlo...
Pienamente d'accordo con la parte che vi cito qui:
It has been my experience that the following pattern emerges among aquarists that begin "upping the volume" of food to their aquarium: Increased addition of prepared foods begins, followed with a concomitant and fairly rapid increase in measurable nutrient levels in the tank water. Soon thereafter, the aquarium begins to experience blooms and growth of cyanobacteria and filamentous algae. At this point, the aquarist typically ceases feeding at the increased rate, worried that the nutrient level will remain elevated and cause the demise of the health of the tank inhabitants at the expense of the algae. I stress that this is in all likelihood not the case. When first setting up an aquarium, levels of uptake and decomposition are low. As live rock "cycles," and dead plants and animals decompose, a nutrient spike is seen in all cases. Following this, various algal successions occur, usually in the order of diatoms, cyanobacteria, filamentous algae, and finally crustose coralline algae. Nutrient levels drop over time and the reef becomes a stable low nutrient place. The same process is occurring with increasing food sources to an aquarium. The nutrient levels spike, and various algal successions occur, until a new steady state is reached with a larger number and diversity of life than at the previous level. This process can take time, and food can be slowly increased over longer periods of time, allowing for such development to occur and bring measurable nutrient levels down to previous water column levels. It is my experience that perfectly "obscene" levels of food can be added to well stocked and diverse reef aquariums over time without high nutrient levels in the water column.
Sostanzialmente ci vuole equilibrio, ma con molto cibo a disposizione...
Vi consiglio anche di leggere tutta la serie di articoli... anche se datati, come ha fatto notare Picci, credo che molti concetti siano ancora validi...
Ma vorrei sapere da tutti voi: si possono mantenere in salute i pesci, anche di certe dimensioni come i chirurghi, solo con surgelato, anche dato non direttamente per i pesci? sto pensando ad una specie di pappone, magari non tritato finissimo... metterlo in una retina in modo che venga lentamente rilasciato in vasca... (ora provo...)
Ho già provato con il cubetto libero in sump a valle dello skimmer, ma non c'è abbastanza movimento per mandare "pezzi" in vasca. Si scioglie e si decompone lì...
