    Volunteers needed to Help with Frag Swap

    Wish I could be there but we're going diving! We got rained out a couple weeks ago so we're going to give it another shot this weekend.

    Over-designed salt water exchange system

    @rygh I missed your post about the trouble you were having. I'm glad you managed to make some progress since then, though. If the wifi side of it ends up being too problematic you could always just remove the photon and use a Modulo controller. For my aquarium controller, the only issue I've...

    Here's my Feb Pic. Mine's looking so bad I considered just dropping out, but who knows... maybe it'll bounce back.

    Over-designed salt water exchange system

    Sounds fun! We can make a controller that keeps your tank pH at a solid 6. Just be sure to never calibrate that probe. :D:p

    Over-designed salt water exchange system

    Love it, @rygh! It's so fun for me to see someone else building an aquarium project with Modulo!

    Anyone know if a purple urchin from the Cali coast can survive in tropical water temps?

    If it will survive the temperature I love this idea! Good luck with it.

    Pests under microscope... what are these things?!

    Okay, it's great to know the tradeoffs and options there. Thanks again!

    Pests under microscope... what are these things?!

    Oh that's cool! Is it possible to replace one of the eyepieces with a usb camera on a microscope like that?

    $$$ MONEY $$$

    I tend to be very diy so my equipment costs might be on the lowish end. I also buy relatively inexpensive fish and have gotten a lot of coral through BAR. I've spent a few thousand over the years I'm sure, but the electricity cost is probably higher for me.

    Pests under microscope... what are these things?!

    I have this one: https://www.adafruit.com/products/636 Works well for electronics (usually on the lowest magnification). I definitely wouldn't recommend it for looking at aquarium stuff though. It's a pain to adjust (you have to physically adjust the height of the microscope to focus) and as...

    Pests under microscope... what are these things?!

    Great reply, @gaberosenfield! Thanks a lot. The full width of the frame is 2mm across. (measured by pointing it at a ruler using the same magnification). That makes the larger objects around 40-50um in diameter, and the little rod-shaped guys about 20um long and 5um wide. Unfortunately I can't...

    Pests under microscope... what are these things?!

    Recently I've had a lot of brownish stuff covering the sand, and to an extent the rocks too. At first I thought it was diatoms, but after reading more, dinoflagellates sound more likely. I have a cheap USB microscope that I use for electronics so I decided to put a sample of the sand under it to...

    Haha. Just kidding. Here's my real photo. Apologies for the gunk on it. I'm dealing with some heavy diatoms right now. :-/

    I got my frag today. Thanks, @Enderturtle! Here is my January photo. Unfortunately, Walt the lawnmower blenny photo-bombed right when I pushed the shutter. You can see the coral above and below his head, however!

    Gave frags to @Newjack, @Coral reefer, and someone else who's handle I forget (sorry!). I can do about 5 more so just PM to set up a time for pickup in point richmond if you want them.

    I'll bring several frags for those who will be at the meeting today. Just let me know when you see me in case I don't remember who asked for them. :-) For those who want one and won't be at the meeting, I work from home in Point Richmond so you could stop by sometime during the week. Please PM...
