    Pressurized kalk reactor

    Awesome . I can only dream of having this type of setup. This is much better than a kalk reactor.

    Am I going to wake up to a crashed tank

    Suck them up during water change. I can’t think of anything else you can do.

    Goldenrod Anacropora - What is wrong?

    If anyone doing any pruning, I would love a tiny frag. Green or yellow, I don’t discriminate.

    (Maybe) the source of reefing problems

    I venture into kalk to get the ph boast. Not sure which doser you’re using but most have 12 or more number of dose a day. I would use the max.

    Hawaii snorkeling and coral recommendations (Kona, Kauai near Poipu)

    By the way, my kiddo first snorkel at both location when he is around your kid age. It’s not that scary. You just need to help him get out of the water at honaunau bay. However my kiddo is a better swimmer than I am ! He swim competitively since a young age.

    Hawaii snorkeling and coral recommendations (Kona, Kauai near Poipu)

    My fav place for snorkel. Depending how comfortable your kiddo with water. Honaunau bay ( place of refuge) - this is by far the best place to snorkel from the beach / without a boat. It’s a little hard to get in the water as it’s rocky and wave do make it a bit tricky. But the corals and...

    Aptasia!

    My vote is on peppermint . I have super high flow in my tank and Berghia didn’t do well in the last. Peppermint will keep aptasia under control but not 100% eradication. That’s good enough for me. I love CBB but it’s a high maintenance fish. Filefish didn’t work for me as well because of the...

    Ecoflow battery w/ Apex EB832

    Have you tried it? You just open up the frunk cover/panel to access the 12v battery. Just hookup the inverter directly?

    Ecoflow battery w/ Apex EB832

    For low cost option, get a battery air pump . It will keep your fish and coral alive for a couple of days . Good thing is we don’t get too cold here. Hot water bottle float in the tank help but it’s a lot of work.

    Ecoflow battery w/ Apex EB832

    Not meant to hijack the tread but I am hoping to tap to my EV for extended blackout. I have both egolf and tesla m3. Reading online I should safely do it by connecting a 500w inverter directly to the golf 12v battery and leave the car on in accessory mode. The main high voltage battery will keep...

    Alkatronic replacement ph probe

    Thanks . The blue lab probe is 2x the cost of Milwaukee. Hmm I’m thinking going cheap but replace more often.

    Alkatronic replacement ph probe

    I think my ph probe is misbehaving. The ph value drift over time and I’m tired of calibrating every 2 months. Looking for replacement. I understand the original is single junction probe. It is compatible with double junction probe? Is all probe crated equal? I assume I get a good brand like...

    Thoughts on ceramic media?

    I think you're specifically looking for block shape versus loose media. For loose media, you can;t beat porous rock like Seachem Matrix. Its basically overprice pumice rock, but its still much cheaper and last forever compare to ceramic media.
