    EXPANSION

    Wow Robert that’s big project and an amazing job at it so far. Making my back hurt looking at the before and after pics. I just hope this doesn’t divert attention from the saltwater/reef focus and expertise your team have, seems like something to watch out for. I agree I like the look of the...

    Fixed! I don’t know where your request wound up, but not with me. I heard about it from Thomas yesterday.

    Hobby ICP study - Evaluating the Repeatability and Differences between ICP Tests

    Thanks for doing and sharing this Rich (and Sanjay). I have a few observations: 1. Methods and statistics seem solid. Thank you for doing this and doing it well. 2. It’s too bad the tested water was free of most of the trace unwanted elements so we don’t have data for a lot of the elements we...

    Want to grow super big mushrooms ?

    And yes I’ve definitely noticed the same- low flow and low lights = big mushrooms.

    Want to grow super big mushrooms ?

    Let’s see. Maybe a 50% chance of getting a lens each year of the hobby since it’s easy and helpful. So (0.5)^16 = 0.000015 = 0.0015% Or 99.9985% chance that it would have happened by now. My conclusion is that it was not random, but an intentional choice!

    15X reward points at BRS today

    I’m curious for details as to why you mention preferring Fauna Marin? I ask because they are distributed by CoralVue now, so actually will probably be available at LFS’s around here soon. Cos @Cbruno80 mentioned he could carry it at Cali Kid if there’s enough local interest.

    Tank leaking

    With such a small tank I’d just get a new one and transfer over everything (including equipment). Gives you the opportunity to also consider a larger or different style tank if you want. If you want to save some coin I think multiple members here have extras of those small tanks sitting around...

    Recommendation to remove Aluminum without water changes

    I’ve not heard of cyanoacrylate glue being a source of aluminum, and I can’t think of a mechanism for that. It’s 20 years old, but this write up by RHF is still the definitive discussion of aluminum in our tanks as far as I know...

    Chemiclean half dose?

    Sorry just seeing this. My understanding is that Chemiclean is erythromycin. I agree with your feelings of caution about half-dosing antibiotics in general when treating infections, but this use case is a little different, and quite frankly we don’t know what the “right” dose is for treating...

    Handheld ph meter recommendation for kalk reservoir

    I dose 6-7 liters of saturated CaOH2 (Kalkwasser) per day, when the pH would otherwise be going down because of less photosynthesis. This is about half of my alk consumption, the rest is covered with carbonate dosing during the day. Limited mainly by evaporation amount. Also sometimes my pH is...

    Handheld ph meter recommendation for kalk reservoir

    If you are going for a saturated solution you should add a little too much, that’s the best way to know it’s saturated. The undissolved at the bottom won’t be a problem as long as you don’t directly suck it up. Even if you don’t add extra you’ll get stuff at the bottom as it reacts with CO2 and...

    Handheld ph meter recommendation for kalk reservoir

    I’ve tried several and not found them reliable enough, either conductivity or pH. I went back to just carefully weighing out the amount to be added (with a little extra), stirring well initially, and not checking after.
