    Quarantine tank?

    In garage I have a 30g tank hooked to a 20g sump. It sits empty most of the time and I fill it with water from DT when I need to QT stuff. I can run only the top tank with a small powerhead & HOB filter or I can run the whole system with a skimmer, reactor or chaeto in the sump.

    Blue algae ID

    FYI in case you are looking for options to get rid of it, I saw multiple threads on reef2reef about using Fluconazole with great success. https://www.reef2reef.com/search/2899141/?q=Bryopsis++Fluconazole&o=relevance

    Kryptonite Candy Cane Coral

    @ashburn2k I'm glad the candy cane does well for you. I also have extra frags of it, if someone wants to pick some up in San Jose - Almaden area.

    How are you measuring salinity?

    +1, although the refractometer was pretty good, i love the digital milwakee meter. Much easier to use, specially since I'm getting old and can't trust my eyes anymore ;)

    World's stupidest and most ridiculous tank leak!

    FYI, for my pellets reactor I had a custom acrylic disc that fits smugly inside the reactor. I had it cut out at TapPlastics, then drilled with many small holes and placed inside the reactor above the pellets. It is in use for years. In the past when I was dealing with hair algae and it was...

    Who needs a Coralife T5 lamp & 40G breeder sump

    I have laying around a 48" 4xT5+moonlights lamp made by Coralife. I bought it used with a setup, and never needed it. It is functional, except it doesn't have the legs. With the same setup I also got a 40G breeder sump that I also didn't need. Yeah, the other person was very keen to clean his...

    Black Nylon Screws, where?

    I bought white ones for a DIY reactor a while back from Grainger. You can check their site & buy it local.

    Who actually runs a QT/Hospital tank?

    I have a 30g tank+20g sump that I use as observation tank for all new livestock. Everything goes in there for at least 1 month before being placed in the main tank. I even qt-ed the chaeto :). Then I have a 10g tank that sits dry in the box until I need it to treat the fish. I also dip the...

    My Hanna Alk meter drives me nuts. "It ramps up slow".

    Yes, the instructions say to gently invert the cuvette 5 times. That's what I did. I was also careful not to have bubbles and dirt on the cuvette. I have now the reference kit. I changed the battery in the meter to a new one, then tested with the reference. The first 2 tests were low again, 70...
