Good question. I'm not really sure. Yellowing I think the answer is carbon. Particles the answer is some sort of mechanical filtration, including a sump full of chaeto. Bubbles, more bubble breaks before the skimmer water hits the return. Water changes always help just about everything!

Flash back to my original reef tank. This was around February 2008. T5 lights. Acrylic. Sump, drained to by in tank piping. No idea why I had the heaters in the display. Big wall of rocks, but I used some fiberglass rods to get a couple pedestal style pieces together.

Fair, but in this context the full comparison is success rate of someone who does it as a full time job versus others. My assumption is the survival and successful irradication rates he has is higher than someone doing a big quarantine for the first time.

I would call around, such as Kenny at high tide, and see if you can get the QT done for you as part of a next round of getting fish in. No idea if he/someone would do that, but even if they charge a bunch for it, it'll likely be cheaper than repeatedly changing upwards of 127gallons of saltwater...

I'd love to get a piece. I'd put it in my display since my frag tank has monti eating nudis. Though my montis in there grow like crazy because of that wrasse and params.

How much all in one did you use, and how much ammonia? Ammonia stalling when you used the bottle bac and when seeded with existing rocks seems unexpected. No chance you dumped a crap ton of ammonia in there? Additionally are you confident in your ammonia reading? Salifert hopefully is reliable...

I kept a road bike in my garage, near my saltwater mixing station. My experience is that fixie / single speed is gonna have a rekt chain and bearings :). Also LOL do you have the LEDs mounted through the front wheel, :).

I had a lot of issues with this tank, so haven't been taking pics as much. Semi quick recap: Lost a series of corals, especially LPS and torches initially would suddenly go from fine to polyp bail out. Eventually found that was correlated to when I'd feed from my packet of Rods Food. I created...

Gave it to @blink today along with some atomic broccoli and frag holders. Will possibly trim my main one and have frags available in the future. FYI @FooFtr

This time of year my tank gets a ton of nice morning sunlight. I wish there was a way to do this all year. It's showing off some torches I picked up from @fishy408 last night in a great light! (pun intended) Sunlight powered FTSes Some tank shots from before the full lights are kicking on...

Offering the rest of this up. Nice piece, but I need the space. Piece in the foreground. It has a hard base of super glue making it easy to attach. Hand for size reference. Always bonus points for offering things, but by default free. Loosely first come first served otherwise. Message me...

Gotcha. I think RWC -> SJ -> SF is a bit past my delivery radius :). Maybe disassemble'able?

Meant to mention earlier, I think it's important to be using at least partial saltwater when doing this. Freshwater is less dense than saltwater, so it floats upwards. Therefore if you gently push a bit of kalk+freshwater slurry onto the shroom, the freshwater tends to float upwards, which then...

Add me to the majano wand demo list please. Nuking some shrooms with lasers seems like it would be heaven to my 10yr old twin boys. I've been doing kalk paste. I don't measure or have a detailed strategy. I put some salt and fresh water in a jar, dump kalk in, swirl, suck up around 80% of the...

Where are you located? I need to pick some things up from popper and could potentially grab the cart and do a delivery.
