Got my shipment from BC today and pretty happy with what I got. I wasn't able to get to it till after work, so my time getting them dipped, inspected, and in the tank was limited to only a couple hours with the lights on. When one of my sons was young, he would ask is to buy him these "blind...

I should have done this, looking back on it in hindsight...probably would have save me on some of the aggression issues and watching the eventual transition would have been cool.

Second QT batch done. Anthias are hard as hell to keep from killing each other. I started with 1 male blue eye lyretail and 9 females. In addition to these I threw in a royal gamma and a midas blenny. First couple days, everything was fine...fish eating and all getting along. By day 3, the...

First week of use I went through x4 of each reagent. I've been performing spot checks weekly just to see how inline the readings are and it's been pretty consistent, so I've been more trusting of the readings it produces. We'll see how it goes after the first reagent change. Hopefully it stays...

We're still listening to Ambrosia....if you got Chicago's album, that's welcome too..haha

How about I pick you up in my Trans Am? We can stop by mcdonalds and eat out of Styrofoam containers then drop by Woolworths and Emporium Capwell to pick up some Members Only jackets to get the BAR logo printed on.. Forewarning tho, the only cassette I own is Ambrosia, so the whole way we're...

Or you can send a raven...as far as the poll, we'll be looking up at the old bell tower for the candel light...one if by land, two if by sea

Agreed. But given that I'd probably be using the hanna checker for both at an annual cost of around $150, I see it as paying to not have to do it myself. Is it as accurate as I'd like? IMO, no...but I'm not running it for accuracy, I bought it to look at the trends, especially while my system...

It's ~$60 for a 2 month supply of both....so roughly a dollar a day for daily test of both parameters on the NP

Hey Josh..I'm about half way through my first set of reagents and have recently gotten to the point where I'm finding the readings from the NP useful. The first couple days NO3 seemed spot on but the PO4 low, a day after it was the opposite. After calibrating with tank water and using hanna...

This is a great idea. Thanks @SupraSaltyReefer for setting this up...give the folks who can't get out of the house easily an opportunity to connect.

Very clean build. I'm diggin your vortech prints..the contrast really works well. Looking forward to the rest of it. What are you planning to keep AFA livestock?

FYI Big Arbor day sale coming up for Battlecorals for anyone interested. From the thread on R2R it's on everything, including Battle boxes. I think I'll be picking something up...I really liked my last order and Adam is a great guy to deal with. www.battlecorals.com for this interested.

You got more bricks than the cartel sitting in that sump!

Certain costal succulents can take being watered with salt water. Dudleyas and Pickle weed grows along the marshes locally right off the san mateo bridge. I've seen ot for sale at the greenhouses in half moon bay, but I can't imagine they'd take well to weekly watering tho, dependant on your WC...
