I have 2 Planks in service. One for SF freeze dried Mysis plus small amount of Reef Jerky. Second for pellets- about half medium size TDO (EP-1) and the other half whatever other pellets I have like Ocean Nutrition Formula 2 or various ones I’m trying. The main reason I have 2 Planks is that I...

I wouldn’t dose ground up rock salt to my tank for what it’s worth if that’s what you have for KCl dip. It might be fine or it might not be.

I haven’t used any that I dislike. Potassion works well, probably others do too. Just dose a lot less than you think you need and retest. You don’t want to overshoot. The only way to lower K is massive water changes.

Yes K is worth testing occasionally and supplementing as needed. I didn’t know that about AFR. I’ve used “Potassion” from Brightwell for years. But you could just use the KCl dip that has become popular if you have a clean source, requires some extra math.

The main innovation of the Balling method was to dose with proportions that took into account that NaCl is produced when Alk and Ca are consumed. Before that (and still for many methods) dosing would lead to NaCl (salinity) rising the more you dose and consume Alk and Ca. As you dilute back down...

It’s easy to say things are obvious or derivative years later after success and copycats. Triton started in 2008, was revolutionarily different from everything else, and not at all obvious.

I’m curious what ultras wound up coming. Since we had a bunch submitted that I haven’t seen at swaps before.

No, but Gerry volunteered to bring it by, likely tomorrow morning

Yeah! What he said

I agree completely with everything you are saying. And from your perspective of a person deciding what to buy and what to sell and for how much, it entirely makes sense. Perspective is everything with this. I’m just saying that that is not what’s going on here. No one in the club is...

But we have lots of beautiful coral that’s been growing in tanks and being widely shared for many years, with very little value. In fact it is the easy growing and generous sharing that makes them have very little value. I myself have locally devalued coral by growing and sharing it widely...

It’s so fun to see the exact same impossible to resolve argument come up over and over and over. The people who take the lineage (as opposed to the coral) super seriously are the ones who either overpay because of the lineage, or overprice because of it. Since the lineage and name increase the...

J/K couldn’t resist :) It looks happy enough in the video, just not as large?

Kalkwasser?

Those look good. I took the Philistine approach with double sided velcro tape and dangling outlets.

Me too, which is why I asked for links or pics so we can see what it is. Not just to be able to print it but to be able to see what we’re talking about and if I might want one too. I assume others might be curious as well.

Do you have links or pics that aren’t zipped files?

Awesome, following along. Looks like it’ll be where the wall with dry goods was right around to the right as you walk in to the main back room, behind the register area. It would be so cool if you could have a peninsula type tank there where you can see through from front of store behind the...

As I recall we did away with that rule. Instead, we just un-bonused the corals that people were bringing a lot of.

Yep looks like that’s their name for them. They help a lot for me for making maintenance easier (not for directing flow). I let them accumulate corraline to ward off algae from the surface.
