    Holiday Potluck, Rich Ross talk, mini frag swap, 12/3

    That sounds a little too complicated for me, I'm a simple minded person :)

    Holiday Potluck, Rich Ross talk, mini frag swap, 12/3

    To follow up here a bit with some clarification, this is a bring one get one type of swap, so bring one and ONLY one frag. Make it a good one, as mentioned something you would want to bring home yourself. We'll try to make this fair... pick numbers out of a hat, type of fair. So line...

    Reefer stand help needed (was Reefer gap)

    My gut is that it doesn't matter either, hard to tell which side is "up" based on that picture you show, but I'd guess that piece is mostly to prevent twisting and/or racking of the stand. Having the pieces physically touch would do absolutely nothing for strength of it's intended job as the...

    Snorkeling on the Big Island of Hawaii

    So all that rock is basically lava run off? And I guess algae grows which feeds the tangs and other herbivores?

    Snorkeling on the Big Island of Hawaii

    Awww man I miss that so much, never been to the Big Island, I have been to Maui and Kauai. It has been probably 10 years too, but I never really saw yellow tangs that close, did see some at larger depths, plenty of those stripped ones (Sergent majors?) which if memory serves were not native...

    120x36x36 build

    Bummer, I know Tim moved down south so is this just him wanting to keep his business closer to him?

    Earthquake San Jose?

    Did you scream "Earthquake!" as if everyone didn't already know what was going on?

    Earthquake San Jose?

    Yeah I noticed it too, however up here in San Francisco felt nothing. Ooof yeah that makes me feel old, I was in high school (at least I was a freshman!) and procrastinating about doing some report or something for English class by watching the World Series which had Giants vs A's, Giants got...

    Jake Adams passed away

    Aww man that sucks. I never knew him on a personal level, but I did talk to him at a few MACNAs at his RB booth and on the one or two times he actually talked to the club. Dude was always full of energy and seemed upbeat.

    Microbacter Clean (AMZN PRICE ERROR?)

    He specifically said "stop growth and kill" not "grow slower". I would think it does grow slower at 5 than at 7, however that amount may be miniscule, and how it works from one tank to the other could be wildly different. I get where you're going with this, and I'm really not smart enough...

    Microbacter Clean (AMZN PRICE ERROR?)

    Oh and back to the original post, double check the exp. dates on the stuff. It does have a shelf life, not sure how the potency drops over time, but that may be why the company on Amazon is flash selling it.

    Microbacter Clean (AMZN PRICE ERROR?)

    Pretty dang close these days, so much so that my 3+ kW of solar panels have been paying me money even in the winter. It's amazing the electrical cost of keeping a massive amount of water 20 or so degrees above ambient.

    Microbacter Clean (AMZN PRICE ERROR?)

    That's why I refer to "N" as a fertilizer, much like a plant if you stop fertilizing the plant won't stop growing, it just may slow the growth somewhat, it may help out for plants that may not get as much light as others, etc. But the key there is slow the growth, if you manually pull out...

    Microbacter Clean (AMZN PRICE ERROR?)

    My wife would disagree, as I have one of those floor drying fans specifically to clean up said "overdose" accidents.

    Microbacter Clean (AMZN PRICE ERROR?)

    The very oversimplified view of things is that algae needs food to grow, the two sources of food it uses is what's available in the water column (some nitrogen derivative) and energy from light. Now the light presumably you're not going to change because you want your corals to look pretty...

    Yellow tang prices to come back down to earth

    I wouldn't hold my breath over prices coming down too quickly, once businesses get a taste of those high prices they don't tend to want to drop them too quickly, hell the fact that prices instantly spiked the minute the ban was mentioned shows that it's not a "supply and demand" economy that...

    4yo base rock at side of house... Any good?

    any algae or organics on there that do die will break down in your tank, they're not going to magically fall off the rock, which is why you should consider "cooking it" (not on a stove!!!!!!!!) before putting it back into action (also allows you to scrub anything off) but there's absolutely...

    This is what happens when you largely give up on the hobby...

    The thing is, I've had a net negative usage every month since the True-up (which is February). Almost 2000 kWh "saved up", really don't anticipate using all that up and perhaps using any net power at all. It is largely going to be different for others based on if they have a local "co-op" or...
