That would be great. And a great test to see if it changes color in my tank.

I am referring to traces specifically, not nutrients. It should not be blue if they are out of range, similar to what @tribbitt experienced.

Does anyone still have the Heliopora coerulea? It will be blue if many of the important water parameters are dialed in properly, eg strontium, and that is why I am interested in this specific coral. https://reefbuilders.com/2024/05/01/heliopora-are-not-so-soft-soft-corals/?utm_source=perplexity

Thank you for sharing this link. Did not know them but interesting for me because the offer another option for an ozone reactor, which looks very interesting.

Is this problem not already solved with the crabs that we are always recommending here (forgot the name)? For the record, I am a big fan of urchins.

Spreading the algae around in the tank. I am not sold, only in combination with a filter or siphoning this out in parallel.

Looks like it's a popular card game, though. I am bit worried about brushing off the algae this way, without doing what John suggested, but hopefully it works for you.

I am on the fence to go - is there any way to influence some of the vendors we know to bring NPS?

This is pending now.

Priority is given as follows: BOD - Supporting members - non-member. Pickup in Walnut Creek.

Welcome. Curious what made you stop the first tank exactly, and what learnings will go into your new setup.

This is still available if someone is interested.

Welcome. There are lots of ways to benefit from being a member and to give back when you can, potentially at a later time, since you are only starting. I assume you know the concerns floating around about Red Sea tanks, including newer models, for which we are also collecting data here. Many...

If you did you would not use cheatogrow aka reef fertilizer. Everyone worships their reef church. You do it too.

Need to think bigger. Their lab is testing 600-800 samples daily. Most are around 5 days, within Germany, it seems to be 1-2 days on average, folks with normal shipping time like that they test it (not me, I am depressed when I see these values). One of my journal updates a few days ago...

Yes, I believe they merged a kalkstirrer with the media reactor in that new product design. They still have their CARX, but you are right, it seems that this can be easily upgraded to a CARX at a later point, by purchasing the accessories they sell for this.

The ICP has to be read from top to bottom and addressed accordingly. There are quite a few things to look into, @dangalang touched on some of them. Text me if you want. @derek_SR gets one point for spotting salinity. He missed that the sample was (at least) two weeks in transit - although...

Said the same thing.

DELTEC’s newly released media reactor - FR 90- is so new, they do not even know which hose size fits. I found out by accident that it is a 14 mm ID. Very nice build and very versatile. It's their smallest reactor with 1,200 ml capacity, which I will be using for activated carbon (replacing my...

Not an expert on freshwater, but is green carpet algae not a freshwater algae? Whatever algae it is, seems your urchin likes it. Lets see how much progress she can make.
