Folks: regret for being late, it was quite a week, and then.. did not have a clean plastic ruler ( kids had marker ink on pretty much all of them) so did a “Jugaad” see photos; it is approx 1 inch frag, still waiting for it to color up. If you are wondering what Jugaad is here is a fun article...

Ok, let me DM you to co-ordinate pick up.

Thanks, this is perfect, I would like the orange 8x6.5, I can collect it from you during Frag Swap 3/3 if you are coming in.

Interested in SPS

I will join in!

Vodka or Vinegar will drop pH temporarily. I dose Vodka as well and have seen slight drop in the pH but not as drastic as yours. Also 50 ml sounds like a lot, did you start with 50ml or reach there gradually? Here is the guide I am using: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2008-08/nftt/index.php

My two cents: like others have said first step would be to remove all algae in your DT. Note GHA / turf algae / any other algae will outcompete macro algae, so reactor will be useless till you have DT full of algae. Your PO4 readings are 0 but it won’t starve this form of algae because it...

Update was long overdue, some latest tank pics: Tank is doing well, all corals transferred from my old 20G are thriving, the long polyp toadstool had grown quite a lot needs to be trimmed soon. New Fishes: - Wrasses: Pintail (Nero), Solar (Doby), yellow corris (Glory) - royal gramma...

Thanks, makes sense!

I do have a Yellow Corris (Halichoeres chrysus) in DT, but I really want to minimize any undesirables even if that means collateral damage of the good ones

Thanks, looks like the snail is a keeper will dump it in DT after some more observation. Will inspect the chaeto more thoroughly, I like the idea of fresh water dip.

Folks please help me identify these critters: 1. Super creepy snail or nudibranch 2. Are these the dreaded flat worms? Came along with Chaeto, in my quarantine tank. Want to know if I should just toss the chaeto out. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I will try to relocate them. The parents came from your tank @Klems! I think got these from you like an year back or so..
