June update, tank did great with my mom caring for it while I wasn't there for 6 weeks. She's been murdering vermetids with a spike and everything is still alive/growing: Definite growth of the pipe organ coral and the gorgonian in the back. Added a Duncan frag from High Tide so running...

I've been working on getting some reef-related speakers to come and share some of their knowledge with us virtually. Note that many are not Bay Area specific and overseas, so timing can be tough, and need to be planned well ahead. Please vote for the ALL times that you most likely would be able...

Looks really clean! Are those 3D printed shades for the Kessils or are they the 35 degree reflectors?

Thread renamed but not the DBTC entry:

I'd go further and just start dosing Mn right away with a commercial product like Chris Wood's https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/reef-blueprint-isol8-mn-manganese-60-ml-captiv8-aquaculture/ (Kenny might have these in stock, just give him a call). He's got good instructions on there and you...

I think @H2OPlayar is the owner and might be able to edit, I can't. I think we settled on BAR Blue Tort.

I can swing by Sunday and help with side things but no heavy lifting for me.

The SF Bay Brand mysis is what the two I've kept really liked. They kinda ate PE flakes (sometimes) after learning to eat from the feeder. They're absolute food hogs like golden retrievers and would eat all day long if they could.

I left the plankton there mainly because my copperband couldn't eat it, but you have larger fish like the trigger that will eat it! I use SF Bay mysis in mine with some calanus and some spirulina flakes. Lot of people do a pellet feeder in addition to the plank with freeze dried whole foods...

Update: tank is doing fine in the garage. Did a 50% water change this week for the first time in a couple months. BAR "Oregon" tort is getting huge, so are the chalices, and the rock from the tank breakdown looks better than the fake frag rock I had in the center. At some point this summer...

Saw this ad in Reef Hobbyist magazine:

Do you have the cups already @MichaelB ?

Planning on getting a new system @Live55 and do you need help saving livestock? I think there's some stock tanks floating around the club if you need to borrow.

Finally got the PAR meter! This is at full spectrum peak with the netting/frame on top using 117W per ReeFi 2.1 (all in µmol/m²/s): This is my first time setting up multiple lights and I forgot about the "cones" coming out, meaning that the intersecting lower points (90 degree reflectors...

What's the general consensus on when a maricultured or wild colony is considered conditioned or reliable in captivity? A year? Looks really cool though with how different it can appear depending on polyp extension!

Could take a frag of yours and glue it next to a known piece and see if they fuse.

One thing to note, rare or not, the acropora table got picked clean early on! Very interesting to see how people's interests shift over time.

Or vermetids!

I've definitely lost polyps on the side before on torches for whatever reason (different flow, less light, sometimes mid split). Torches are mysteries to me.
