I have precise calipers and various plug/disc sizes. If you need some more measurements I’m happy to supply them. Just let me know.

Regarding why I like them better- The ceramic ones are hard to cut and modify, like the hard artificial rock that is popular now but I don’t like. The agrocrete (concrete made from aragonite) ones are still hard, but are more like live rock in that you cut, chip, mod as needed. Like for example...

@timmeh Any thoughts on my question about making agrocrete plugs/disks? That would get me interested. I don’t particularly like ceramic ones, though I acknowledge they are very popular and easier to make maybe.

I use this method for every cleaning. I use the Red Sea 225 micron plastic (not felt) filter socks doubled up. Clamp the socks on the wall of the sump. Clamp 1/2 tubing into the socks. Siphon to filter for as long as I want or until the sock fills up. The plastic mesh is a lot easier to clean...

Siphon them out asap. Err on side of wasting sand to get more out quickly. Multiple large volume water changes. Treat it like an emergency. Dumping in too much food does way more harm than just rises in N and P, absolutely can crash the tank as it rots.

Yeah I’ve bought the exact same before and like it for the same reason. And this one is a nice gel vs others that are too thin for our use.

Amazon Prime “Day” is today through Friday. Curious if anyone has found any screaming deals on reefing stuff yet? People have mentioned that some 3rd party sellers just jack the price up and then make a “discount” for Prime Day. You can check what the normal price and previous price lows on the...

For what it’s worth, the Triton results on their website are much more useful than the pdf export that is linked above. It shows normal ranges and where your value is on that range more intuitively. It also gives specific suggestions.

Fluconazole (ReefFlux) for sure. Some people have results with lower doses but everyone has results with the recommended dose (20 mg/gal), so just use that since it’s a small QT tank anyway. You may want to do 2 full treatments back to back. Also since you have it isolated, get off what you can...

I got a lawnmower blenny and a 1-spot foxface :)

I swung by today and the new tank is awesome! Went from an idea to a mature looking tank in what? 2 weeks? Kenny also has a bunch of fish newly available and I got a couple, happy and healthy.

At one point we were considering DIY’ing frag plugs and discs, potentially with “BAR” embossed on. With the 3D printing mold master idea, this sees like it would be doable. For club members, and to hand out at events for outreach. I think it would be cool anyway. @Srt4eric @Darkxerox Is it...

Welcome!

Interested in hearing more details, following along. I haven’t used it as a spray but if I did I’d go for 5-10 min like is recommended for KCl dip. And I’d make sure it stays wet, which would mean spraying multiple times.

Yeah that’s pretty much how Tesla treats people. Disorganized, poor communication, they don’t give you anything to go on. Notice it’s not even signed with a name or dept to allow you to ask for more info. Even with customer service, they expect you to figure out the problem yourself by googling...

It’s handy having your LFS in the same room as your display tank ;)

The club has PAR meters to borrow. I have one available in Walnut Creek. Where are you? All your info is hidden in your profile, if you let it display and fill out some basic details it helps people help you.

My system is very similar size (Red Sea Reefer 750) and I’ve been happy with my Reef Octopus Regal 200INT skimmer for years.

lol. “Why are you telling me? Tell Eric!”

Yeah I’m not personally too worried about it because I am very familiar with the required safety precautions and have experience with it for other uses. But I just wanted to point out that handling it in discrete intervals with full attention paid is different than having it run unattended for...
