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

Triton, because they are the most established and most trustworthy in my opinion and experience. 100% of the value of ICP results is based on how much you trust them since there’s no practical way to verify them. And if you don’t really trust them, they aren’t actionable. I’ve used Triton for...

The scientific genus/species names change/split/merge too. Sometimes more often than the common/trade name. And one species will have several different morphs that each “deserve” their own trade name. And each specific trade-named coral will change appearance dramatically in the ocean vs tank 1...

If I were in town that weekend I’d attend to see Arvin’s setups too

Your website has a pop-up for accepting cookies, but no option to not accept them. This is illegal in California and some other places. Also annoying. I realize you are still working on the site, just wanted to give you the heads-up.

Lots of different plugs are fine but I like the Oceans Wonders aragonite ones the best. They are sold by many online retailers including Amazon. For thin disks I like ReefWay.

More details on this bit please :)

Happy Birthday High Tide and Kenny!! We are lucky on both counts

Also cheaper than a new president if the current one gets mauled by a runaway tank

It’s working for you so that’s great and the bottom line. In my opinion, someone doing this has to choose between letting it change the dose only a little (in which case it’s probably not doing anything of value), or letting it change it a lot (in which case it’s too risky). Either way it’s...
