I’ll have to try this!

Haha, I’ve definitely done it with FW. I learned my lesson and only use this now:

Anyone ever tried LMNT? I’d imagine the taste is pretty similar to NSW. Fortunately, I’ve never accidentally siphoned water into my mouth to know for sure.

I had a Millepora do the same thing... about a week before the tank tour. All my other sps are growing and healthy. Couldn't figure out why it gave up, but the timing was funny.

Oh no, not the D-word :p. Hopefully I can manage if it's indeed dinos.

April Update: Overall things are good. I've noticed slow growth from zoas/mushrooms. LPS seem healthy, but I haven't noticed any significant growth. I think I need to spend some more time dialing this tank in. Changes: Added another $10 "wavemaker" but removed a $10 chalice coral. No change...

Welcome back!! The corals you gave me are doing well, I can frag them for you when you're ready.

I’m currently doing it on my 3g pico budget build. Only filtration is a HOB with filter floss I change weekly. I’d much prefer to have a skimmer, but the tank is too small and it wouldn’t fit the budget anyways. Skimmers are amazing. The reef octopus on my main tank has been pulling sludge non...

Stuff is about to get stupid expensive, and for what?! I’m frustrated, angry and tired. Fml.

Great choice of color. It will go really well with your white stands. Maybe your subfloor isn't perfectly level? I had vinyl at my old place, and there were some pockets with a little bit of squish. It didn't bother me very much.

Updates: I decided to organize the aquarium clutter in my closet. This is where I keep my test kits, supplements, food, tools, etc. I found myself losing stuff quite often and purchasing things I already had. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I also created a fragging station (I was doing this...

Tank looks great! Is this a coral encrusted frag rack?

Man, when it rains it pours. Sorry to hear about this. As someone who doesn't QT fish, I feel like I've been playing with fire. I'm going to set up a QT tank or buy from pre-QT sources from now on. I appreciate you posting this kind of stuff, it will help us all in the long run.

"100% Reef-Safe (Probably?) We asked a shrimp, and it didn't say no" Why pay ultra coral prices when you can make your own at home, lmao

I’ve been running for a few years now. I’ve done 3x half marathons so far. First time I was beat and finished with zero gas in the tank. Last time I felt like I could have pushed through a few more miles. A full marathon is a huge accomplishment, congrats man! I hope to get there someday.
