Then go ahead and enter it in the sheet for us to vote on it :) I suspect something like a single head of dragon soul or green and purple frog spawn will not get confirmed as ultra - but won’t know unless we vote

Updated the initial post w/ the current list of confirmed Ultra corals - still voting! Some interesting items that have fallen to bonus and will NOT be Ultra this swap: Oregon Tort (too many at last swap prob?) GMK Zoa (definitely too many at last swap) JF Fox Flame (!?) ARC Master Yoda / RR...

The BOD decided we should make an official update to Mike's @Coral reefer old DBTC rules post (found here: https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/dbtc-info-rules.23030). I am going to unsticky Mike's old post (thank you Mike!) and sticky this one - until the next big update. For information...

The point of me saying "BOD hat off" is to indicate that my opinions are not necessarily the same as other members of the BOD. We are a group of individuals and don't always have the same opinion or the same vision on these topics, and my comment is an effort to be clear about that. You are...

As a hobbyist I am in agreeance with the sentiments of Randy, Tu, and Edgar. What Ed is doing is not meaningfully different from the group buys that Arnold has run in the past that everyone seemed to be perfectly fine with. I suspect the concerns from the LFS here have little to do with ethics...

Cell phone shots Morning blue: Full spectrum w/ T5s:

On this we can agree!

Because I have high flow and plenty of those trace elements. A better question is how do YOU know that it IS the root cause? With the enormous complexity in these tanks - do we really think "low flow and a couple low trace elements" is sincerely the true root cause of something that exists in...

Ah, if only that were true! Unfortunately it is not. At least not in my tank.

Great - so now we just need to understand the root cause of Cyano ;) :p

I used chemiclean not long ago (@H2OPlayar method), and did an Aquabiomics test before and after. My Cyano disappeared and and there was no impact to my biome results (still extremely high diversity after the treatment) other than the Cyano fell off the report. I also noticed that my acropora...

Are we doing a separate check in table for bonus/ultra corals? I can do that again.

Assuming you’ve already tried replacing tubing with the little kit they sell? As you know I dislike these pumps, but replacing the tubing solved more than an issue or two for me (temporarily…).

I like to use a rolled up dollar bill and a mirror (I use my tang aggression mirror - but any will do).
