Glory and sins! 2 10gs are rock solid and the 20g is still developing....oh, and I'll have some jaw breakers ready for dbtc in a month or so....they kept moving and dropping feet...I changed the light and it's position every month for a few months and they kept adapting.

How about using water changes as a replacement for dosing on some days? IORC mixes to 11-ish Alk at 1.026. When targeting 8 Alk, a 3% water change brings up the Alk .1 with each WC. So on days there is a 10% WC, the Alk will get .3....no dosing that day. Is .3 too much of a swing for a 30...

I'm good for 1-3 then. Thanks for organizing it.

Well, I can do 2 hours and overlap before or after.

I can help, later is better, but anytime works. Looks like 2-3 is open?

Sorry, platygyra, not lepto....

Ok, back in August (scrolling back in this thread) I was pointing out this little neon green thing...thinking maybe it was frogspawn spawn (wrong) or maybe a green Yuma mouth (also wrong). I just watched this occur over about 24 hours. It was a slow process. I guess it was excrement? But it...

Is there some window of correctness for glass? 1800 lbs of water at 225 gallons 24" deep....so glass is 20% at 360 lbs? I mean the area of glass isn't all that different for most common cube and peninsula configs. So glass thickness is prob the biggest component....and that should mainly be a...

My local HW store (Ace) has a section for Ikea parts replacement now. All in HW area. Probably true of most LHS (Local Hardware Store?) these days.

I spent my first 6 months scared of overfeeding. I heard it constantly. Since I don't run fish...I didn't do anything but water changes. For 6 months. Then I tried reef roids maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks. Spot fed to minimize overfeeding chances. Yes, corals were fine, inverts were fine...

Sorry to hear it. I'm in SC if there is anything I can help with LMK.

IORC mixes to 10-11 at 1.026. In my case, after the first 2 weeks of slow consumption in a 20G Nano, it was down at 8. Now, I dose to maintain 8 and then when I do a water change, I don't dose that day and it maintains 8 with the WC. But if I were to do a 30% or higher WC with IORC, I think...

Floating rockwork is awesome. One caveat is that any cuc that can't swim or glass walk won't be able to get there. Crabs in particular do not have access. My floating section always looked worse than any grounded scape section when running without fish and cuc only.

I visited a tank months ago that was over-run with vermetids, some really 'nice' 5-6" by 1/4" tubes all over. Owner said, "I don't have any 'bad' pests in the tank" but at the same time had a lot of coral in half dead state (3 out of 6 hammer heads were dead, many acans had mouths clearly...

OK, getting to the next phase. I have the 3 tanks setup, 10G, 20G, 10G all cycled and sustaining/growing for 5-10 months now. Everything is automated with the custom reef-pi setup. Since I moved from 3 10g nano tanks and replaced one of them with a 20G nano about 2 months ago, I've been...

I picked up a couple from you and then you threw in a bunch more. All looking good on my end....but I can't see any sign of your coral stash diminishing! Looks great! Is that a space invader chalice with a stung/skeleton exposed in purple or some kind of mixed green/yellow/purple cross (next...

Also, I read the title and originally thought.....hey, a count-down timer to remind me when to take vacation is a wonderful idea :)

That is a great idea! I'm adding it to my little reef manager on my custom setup...which I have yet to post the software for (my-bad). But a modifiable list would be great. Maybe even a set of lists....daily, weekly, monthly, vacation, etc. Allow uploading a few images or a video for each...

Our pond journey: 4' deep, bridge, 2 large fish hides. Then a heron came. You have to get rid of them ASAP, they are territorial. We put in an overhanging trellis of kiwi vines. Worked great, no more herons. Also, the pond hadore shade so we had less algae. Then racoons... We tried the...
