    3D printing 5 gallon ATO reservoir. Experimental.

    Hello Everyone I priced out a 5 gallon Reservoir to fit in a specific place and they are like $120 -$150 for an acrylic one which is insanely expensive. For the price of 2 rolls of PETG $12.99, stainless steal screws (maybe overkill but for peace of mind), epoxy, electricity and time I am...

    Nirvana Poly I got from Coral Swap is growing too fast

    You guys are scaring me. I am going to stick it in a low light corner of the tank until the next Coral Swap. I hate killing things so maybe someone else will like it? But I would hate someone else to get this beast. Maybe I should bury it in the garden? I have only had it for 3 weeks and I...

    Nirvana Poly I got from Coral Swap is growing too fast

    I am thinking you maybe you are right Good Idea. It is spreading on anything it touches. It is really growing fast. I will not take a poly again I think. Hopefully there is a Frag Swap soon and I will see if anyone wants it.

    Nirvana Poly I got from Coral Swap is growing too fast

    Hello Everyone. I got a Nirvana Poly from the last coral swap in Cali Kid in March. I can tell this Coral is fast growing and maybe a little to fast for my tank. Any advice for keeping it in check? Thanks @Finnaddict for supplying so many corals. I got a few with your name on them. I just want...

    Pink Gonipora, Flower Pot, Coral not doing well since I got it from the Coral Kids frag swap

    Every day the Goni opens up a little more. I have a good feeling and am hopeful it will recover.

    Pink Gonipora, Flower Pot, Coral not doing well since I got it from the Coral Kids frag swap

    I am fighting my man instinct and trying to go slowly. I am not doing to many things at once and when I do I wait a couple of days and take another reading. I have a doser so I am making changes slowly. I know these are live organisms that the shock of a sudden change can kill even if it is...

    Pink Gonipora, Flower Pot, Coral not doing well since I got it from the Coral Kids frag swap

    The Goni is looking better. The flow is the best flow in my tank. Same side as the pump output and my wave pump is on the opposite side so it pumps over there and hits the wall. I put some GFO in and my Phosphate is dropping about 0.03 per day. I have been putting some Brightwell Magnesium...

    Pink Gonipora, Flower Pot, Coral not doing well since I got it from the Coral Kids frag swap

    Yeah. I am hoping it does not get much bigger. I only have a 10 gallon tank. Maybe a bad choice for such a small tank.

    Pink Gonipora, Flower Pot, Coral not doing well since I got it from the Coral Kids frag swap

    I have not checked Magnesium lately. I used to check it regularly but after a while it seemed the only things that changed were the Nitrate, Phosphate and Alkalinity so I check those regularly. I started keeping a log so I can keep track of what I am adding and what the readings are so I can...

    Pink Gonipora, Flower Pot, Coral not doing well since I got it from the Coral Kids frag swap

    The corner it is in is just under the pump outlet and I have a wave maker. Also the reason I use Kalkwasser and All For Reef is when I first started a reef tank my Alkalinity was always low so I was constantly hand dosing Soda Ash. I bought a doser and starting using Kalk and my problem was...

    Pink Gonipora, Flower Pot, Coral not doing well since I got it from the Coral Kids frag swap

    I have an ATO for evaporation. I tuned the Kalk in using a dosser. I was doing 30ml a day and as my Alkalinity stabilized it was down to about 8ml and it seems to be happy there. I use All for Reef for the trace elements. I am slowly upping the AfR. I started at 2ml, now 3ml and will go to...

    Pink Gonipora, Flower Pot, Coral not doing well since I got it from the Coral Kids frag swap

    Hello Everyone. I paid for a grab bag at the Cali Kids frag Swap and I got a Pink Gonipora. I acclimated the coral, let it float, added water over some time and finally put it into my tank. I put it in the corner at the bottom of my tank because I read online to put it into a lower light part...

    Need advice on Acrylic or Poly tank cover.

    I have a 3D printer and will come up with something.

    Need advice on Acrylic or Poly tank cover.

    I already have an ATO. I think it is just a waste to keep having so much water evaporate. This was just what I was looking for. The only think I don't like is the netting looks like it is 1/4 inch. I already upgraded to 1/8 inch because I already lost a goby. Found it on top of the net. I...

    Need advice on Acrylic or Poly tank cover.

    Hello Everyone, I need advice on getting a tank cover for a Nuvo 15. We already have a net tank cover but we have to top off about 1 gallon a week and it is not even summer yet. I was thinking of getting one made at TAP plastics. I cannot find a ready made one online. I will get a 2 inch...

    3/3 Frag swap at Cali Kid Coral

    What time should I show up? I don't have any frags to swap since my tank is less than a year old but I am interested in buying a Frag Pack

    Jebao 3.4 doser price just dropped to $60

    I am doing the same thing. I got a 4 banger and using 2 and other two will be spares. You can buy Spare complete pumps for about $2 each on AliExpress and if you buy over $10 you get free shipping. For the price I decided to take my chances.

    3/3 Frag swap at Cali Kid Coral

    Sounds good. I will see if my daughter wants to come out. She got a tank after I set mine up and we have slowly been adding to our tanks we break them in. Right now we have only a few corals in each tank.

    That is close if not exactly what I am doing. Thank you for posting. I got a 3D printer so I am printing the box.
