I noticed using the optional top shade/flow plastic things on the Maxspect gyres keeps the pump part largely shaded and allows it to go longer between cleanings.

@NickRoseSN1985 If you haven’t already, and if are ok with the brand at this point, worth getting a quote from Tesla for solar. My next door neighbor is getting quotes for solar right now and just yesterday told me “Tesla bid beats everyone else by 30%. Pretty amazing.” I would be shocked if...

Supporting members who aren’t able to bring frags can still join in a bit later, I think on the 3rd round

Throw a little Waste-Away in

https://abcreagents.com/ I don’t think Kenny carries it anymore, though last time I asked he said he might again at some point. @under_water_ninja

Did they say they were scaling down? Might just be tired of packing orders and talking to customers (lol).

No it’s definitely for the Trident. CoralVue has been selling ABC reagents for a while, generally with just a small markup (like $10) but can often get free shipping. Just that CoralVue only currently sells their combo sets A+B+C, whereas the ABC Reagents guy also sells sets of just A or just...

CoralVue also doesn’t sell the single reagent types, like just A for example. Hopefully that will change? It’s one of the reasons to use ABC reagents over Neptune’s.

The ones I linked to have ~100% hatch rate and separation without magnets

Aiptasia LOVE live baby brine shrimp. If you have Aiptasia you don’t want, I don’t recommend feeding it. I tried a bunch of ways of hatching them, the best by far was: Ziss hatchery https://www.aquariumcoop.com/products/ziss-brine-shrimp-hatchery Aquarium Co-op eggs (these eggs specifically)...

The fun thing about Trader Joe’s is how the register people make small talk about what you’re buying. Also can be the not so fun thing.

I think the timing for this one in early June is tough for a lot of people. Almost everyone is already doing something or covering for people from work who are.

Something that deserves 50,000 lashes

Who knows what happiness looks like or means to a fish. It’s hard enough to define in people, and they are evolved and wired just like us and can talk. Lots of people with what look like great environments are miserable and the opposite is true too. It seems more inherent than environment based...

So besides the deferring to what other with expertise have used, which is fine, does anyone know about this? I noticed when googling this that the use of SeaKIear looks mostly just like historical coincidence because it’s a brand that was available for pools many years ago when people were...

SeaKlear is roughly 30x more concentrated than TM E-P Rapid by my calculations. Not 2.5x. For reference: SK: 1 oz in 5000g reduces 0.5 ppm TM: 1 ml in 100 liters reduces 0.1 ppm

I take seriously all the planning, automation, web cams, outage backup, etc. But the most important single item is having someone around to check on your tank looking for things/sounds out of place and willing to call or FaceTime to solve problems. We use a housesitter, mostly for the other...

Lots of rules of thumb. Lots of individual exceptions to those rules. Lots of horror stories and love stories in both directions. Now you know why the definitive answer you seek to this question is hard to find.

Is there a SeaKlear version for reef aquaria or are you guys using the stuff made for pools? Any concerns with that? I have a bunch of lanthanum for pools already (other brands) but wouldn’t be comfortable putting it in my tank since they don’t disclose everything in the bottle.

That’s cool
