Live sand vs dry sand dont matter. Dry sand becomes live sand pretty quick but u probably want to rinse the sand with RO water. However u are trying to transfer a running tank with animals in it. You should try to avoid an ammonia spike. Bring the old rock from your old tank to the new tank...

Crazy!!! Sorry to hear about this! Our car alarms dont go off if the windows are smashed?

Yah it doesnt grow in my main tank. I have no hair algae or any algae in my main tank. The 15 hermit crabs, blue, scarlet, zebra keep it clean.

Also, we all encounter bryopsis in some amount. Bryopsis grew in my frag tank but not in my main tank. All the same system cuz connected via sump. When i took the bryopsis infected frags off the tall frag racks that my hermits couldnt reach, i put them in the sandbed of main tank and my...

I would just restart the tank. Keep a rock or two in a 20 gallon long with your fish. Do you have coral youre trying to keep? If not just nuke the rock in bleach and then dechlorinate for 2-3 weeks.

Sometimes coral just die.

I clean my skimmer once every 6 months or so. Detritus builds in the bottom.

RODI, get a water saver module (in other words 2 RO membranes) to make water FASTER and cut back on waste water production. I store RO water in this black plastic stylish trash can from IKEA. Some people just store it in buckets. I do not store saltwater very long. Mix and use. AVOID the swing...

Welcome welcome!!!

Wow thank you so much for the pictures @sfsuphysics Hope y'all had fun. I had a blast going to reef-a-palooza for the first time so I imagine this trip was epic!

I haven't done anything yet. Tank is on autopilot right now after I just did a 20 % water change two weeks in a row. I've been watching them though. They're slow growing and there's 3 of them. I really should remove them but got no time.

I'm a fan of New Life Spectrum and Hikari Algae Pellets. All 1mm size. Occasionally feed frozen mysis and spirulina brine shrimp. Corals also eat mysis/brine and Coral Frenzy Pellets

Here's jim welsh in rich ross's secret lab looking at the prototype alk monitor. So does anyone know if Jim Welsh is going to scoop Mindstream on alkalinity monitoring or will this be a charitable open source semi-buy and build kinda thing.

I changed it last night to the macna thing.

Okay going to lock down this thread before things get uglier. Small business local fish stores cannot afford to have 100% guarantee return policies. I dont know of any stores that provide refunds/trades. If they do, its money they're willing to lose to make customers happy. On top of that, most...

got like 2 baby aiptasia Id like to make extinct in my tank. Any tips that actually work against them? I do have a lil kalkwasser i think i could use. Let me know if you have good tips. Or i could just throw the rock out

I run it at 78. Its a 40 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump and 10 gallon frag tank attached. Using only 1 heater during the summer. In winter I have to use 2 heaters to maintain 78

I want to sea pics your horses! Also loving the fruitloops! Thanks so much. I think if you had a bunch of gorgonions or red grape algae they would probably cling to those, i heard they are sensitive to temperature swings.
