I bought their Reef Foundations alkalinity, since it had always worked well, and AB+. I started making Randy Holmes-Farley's alk solution, and have moved to Reef Nutrition. Much like you said, I refuse to give them a cent of my money ever again.

I'm beating a dead horse, but in case any new reefers see this: There are no official statistics on tank failure rates by manufacturers. Anecdotally, however, I'd say that at least 9 of every 10 tank failure posts I see on social media are from Red Sea. It's prevalent enough that I'm actually...

Catastrophic failure of a G2 350: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/red-sea-reefer-350-g2-catastrophic-failure.1075814/ This is a single data point but, given all the issues with Red Sea tanks failing in the past (one thread of very many), I'm not optimistic.

Id take these at the swap if no one can grab them beforehand. Thanks for offering everything up!

Given the rarity, that I haven't seen this around before (outside the club), how pretty it is, and to encourage sharing: yes for it being an ultra.

In other news, @Srt4eric just beats the colors out of his coral with light until they cry uncle.

Cloudberry chalice will be bonus, given how far down in price it's come; @tribbitt Rainbow Goku chalice will be ultra.

Smart and Final usually has great plastic deli cups (8 oz? if memory serves); that's where I purchase all of mine.

Clarifying: To enter the frag swap, it is three different varieties of coral. For bonus tickets, there is no limit on varieties/etc. The rationale behind this rule is to try and encourage people to bring as much nicer coral as possible, and we'll be monitoring what we have too much of, not...

First off: good parenting here; I mean that, sincerely. Second, after your plan of admitting responsibility and apologizing, I would suggest using this as a teaching moment. That these creatures' lives are in our hands, and it's important to respect that. That complacency can (literally) be a...

I'll be catching up on all the suggestions later today. Thanks for the patience.

No worries; you can pass it forward to someone else, Eric's got me covered. :)

I'm definitely interested if I can grab it from you at the swap; if not, no biggie. Thanks for offering this up!

Location: Garden Alameda 1570 The Alameda #150 San Jose, CA 95126 Date: October 19, 2024 Time : 12:00 PM (registration starts at 11:30 AM) Freebies: We will have a table for freebie corals, dry goods, and miscellaneous reefing stuff. Please feel free to bring whatever you'd like to give away...

I also want to point out to people, since Arvin hasn't said it himself, that all his practices are in line with those recommended by Humble Fish. Given how paranoid I am about a fully bio secure tank (for those who don't know, read my tank journal), Arvin is the only vendor I will buy stuff from...

Love that it gets 4.5 stars for 'suction power' when it's magnets.

I'm italicizing, underlining, coloring, and supersizing this. We'll listen to requests/input/questions on bonus and ultra coral up to 5 PM the Friday before the swap (October 18th). Coral check-in is always the most hectic part of the swap and, even with extra volunteers, we do not have time...

Acropora tenuis are thinner with prominent, cupped coralites, seen here: Smoothskin acros are smooth; like lokanis: Millepora tend to be 'chunkier' and much fuzzier:

Lists have been updated. To give some insight into our rationale this time around, especially on SPS: we're trying to get more of those at the swap, given how few there were last time, and to generally distribute more coral throughout the club that fewer members have. For instance, I was...

If you didn't disassemble the whole machine, another possibility is that the electronic sensor somehow became misaligned. You can try pushing down slightly on both of the circuit boards on either side of the cuvette and see if that fixes it (this fixed my first Trident that had this issue). If...
