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.

From my experience: 1. I would run them with the cord down. I had my lid slightly off my tank once, with water on it while cleaning. The drips dripped down right onto my MP dryside. Because I had the cord up, the drops then went into the little, apparently not water proof, cord area and killed...

I run a Reefer 500 and previously had a Reefer 170. No problems with either. I also like the Red Sea other equipment (I have their ATO and Gyre). My next tank would probably be different, but primarily because I'd go eurobrace since I end up running a cover anyway and might not need to if I...

Fastest way to massively swing alk would be a major salinity swing. You mentioned an ATO fall, does that imply a salinity swing too? ATO off would raise salinity which would raise the alk reading. Dumping a bunch of water in would drop salinity and drop alk. I think the gotcha on this one is...

I'm currently trying to get rid of some orange shrooms that got onto my main rock. I've been basting kalk slurry on them, attempting to focus on the mouth, and while it's not foolproof, I believe it's working. My main sign is I had them close to a torch, and I started with kalk on those, and I...

Interesting. What's the healthy fish's slide supposed to look like, completely empty? I'd think there'd always be something on there, so do you need to deep research each thing you see to figure out if it's bad?

Gotcha, I think what I sent earlier would almost work, but I realized I sent a standard cable (I believe drive port style) instead of the 24v Force port style. I think you just need: Force to DC: https://topshelfaquatics.com/products/hydros-kraken-force-port-24v-adapter-cable-hydros-1 Right...

Can you clarify a bit more on what you're looking to do? E.g. what type of red sea devices and what are you looking to do with them? Run power to them or trying to control them? I have a Red Sea ATO for example that I'm powering through a similar setup to this. The main difference is you need a...
