    Hawaii (Insider) Travel Recommendations (for Reefers)

    Easier to get to for sure. Not sure if this is the best place to go with a family though?

    Hawaii (Insider) Travel Recommendations (for Reefers)

    Yes, this is what prevented us from going so far. Unfotunately, being limited to school holidays, there are not many options avoiding the crowds. When we lived in Singapore, we spent each Christmas at various tropical islands and my sons would like to do this again (note: we are not fans of snow).

    Hawaii (Insider) Travel Recommendations (for Reefers)

    7-10 days, not less than 6 days if possible. This is a good question. Staying on one island (or if 10 days, changing to max one other) would probably be our preference (keeping it simple). We would not mind hiking.

    Hawaii (Insider) Travel Recommendations (for Reefers)

    (Inspired by another post earlier) We moved to the Bay Area in 2022 (again) and have never been to Hawaii. Since we have (hopefully) some celebrations this year, we would like to make it work around 'Christmas' time (on or after December 20), for a family of 4. The last few years were a...

    Should Michael run a closed loop on his 210 gallon?

    The majority calls for a closed loop. Main arguments are that it is already set up for this, and you have Eric. Maybe it needs a proper pro and con list :). But just pushing to get the tank set up is not a strong argument, as these things are meant to last.

    Alex’s IM 150 EXT

    I am planning to move this LCH Hybrid Blue Zing colony which grew over the past 9 months from a small frag and is now getting close to various sorrounding corals. While I have collected various corals over the past several months and kept them in the frag tank, I am far behind my...

    Justin's Aquaforest Oceanguard 790

    How do you like the the controller board? I have most of Matt’s stuff and was looking at that the other day. Great setup overall.

    210 gallon Dream tank

    Looks like you have enough to put into this new tank. Consolidating tanks might save you a ton of time once done.

    Featured Lets see the eye candy from the 6/22 swap

    For the hybrid, I decided today to move the large colony from its primespot since it became to big - @dandemeyere corals grow all very well (except the Merlin haha). I can always cut a frag for you. And I still have pre cut frags of the Manila spy you can have.

    210 gallon Dream tank

    Looks great. Closed loop is OP and old school, and some hyper successful tanks are run this way, so if you can make this work, it could be worthwhile. I always look at empty glass boxes as the calm before the storm. I understand why you are not in a rush :).

    Sodium Hydroxide(NaOH) for Alk & pH

    So you are saying. But PH is all we care about :).

    Sodium Hydroxide(NaOH) for Alk & pH

    Brute force method for PH - don't do it (tried to not comment but had to, for the record and so...:)).

    Need larger skimmer

    Is this the gross or the net water volume (glass subtracted)? DELTEC all the way. I have the Reef Octopus Elite 200 INT (for an estimated <150 gallon net, 150 gallon + 57 gallon sump), but one of the next things I would like to do is to swap the skimmer with a DELTEC 1000 or 1500. They barely...

    Alex’s IM 150 EXT

    Since you mentioned this, the situation deteriorated and they started fighting and the candy cane seems to win. So I will need to cut this candy cane too (cut the other one and gave several frags away recently), but have no space to put all the frags :(.

    Alex’s Red Sea Reefer Nano (28-gallon)

    I bought 1,000 ml of FM new Coral Wow product while I was in Germany, which I believe they are currently only selling in Germany. This product was tried out extensively before release in their Reefers Club for approximately a year, and many - but not all - folks who tried it had a lot of success...

    Thoughts on a Solution for Tank Starting to leak while on Vacation

    @psidriven - you are the man. Should get an award for this. Worst case scenario for anyone who leaves the country, and folks like you save the day. Well done! @SpaceCased - I believe you said you had a tub but I have a 50 gallon tub if you need it. I can just not deliver it as I do not believe...
