    Literally all fresh food is added frozen to the blender, so I did not observe or see the solution becoming warm. Maybe this needs to be added to the recipe for clarity. I am sure any 'food safety officer’ would enjoy seeing us adding frozen seafood into our tanks, of which a lot of it will rot...

    Cheapest ICP OES-MS

    Looks like you have been observing them for a while, so please let us know your experience with them when you start using them. Still curious about pricing since, again, I believe the benchmark are the two companies I mentioned. I very much like that Triton is based in the US, but I feel...

    Cheapest ICP OES-MS

    I do not decide on who tests my water by who provides a label or not. It is far too important (and expensive) to me. But postage is a major cost factor. So is shipping time. This company is located in Bavaria, Germany, and seems to have a successful coral farm, which seems to add to their...

    Do you know why not using saltwater but freshwater? I can do it either way but just curious what the issue is with using saltwater? Also, the point on the fish eggs staying whole I have seen debated elsewhere, and some prefer it.

    Green polpy toadstools (gone)

    I would keep them for filtration until you have your other corals growing bigger.

    What would you do? Blue Clove Polyps

    I found some last week in one spot on a rock around a frag plug I got many months ago from someone. I took out the frag plug which removed 90% of the polyps, and glued over the other few polyps (not many) on the rock over with a lot of glue. Will see if they come back but I was very shocked...

    Not sure if anyone is interested, but I have been feeding a DIY coral feeding (smoothie) mix for the past couple of months, twice a week. The blender I have been using for this was a bit slow and I could not resist the black friday deal for a significantly reduced Vitamix 5200. The recipe is...

    Its the largest one he sells: https://octoaquatics.com/product/the-shu/ Its pretty big though and difficult to maneuver without hitting things, specifically if you have a Eurobrace.

    And did not see your text - we were ‘off the grid’ for a few hours (hiking) - bad timing, did not expect these sales coming through on Saturday - thanks so much for letting me know though!!!

    Problem with Install - RO Unit for Drinking Water Install (including drain)

    Thank you very much - the person I am working with from airwaterice.com mentioned this, but it still did not seem to fit from how I measured it. However, when it turned out that a pressure tank is the ONLY way to get decent water flow, I just asked him to send the smallest one (2.2 gallons)...
