Foolishly went to meet @divewsharks for some very generous and nice acro frags without fully realizing what the CFM was. Big mistake. I expected some nice things but the prices seemed insane. It was nice meeting everyone at the BARS table. My daughter was pretty into the donut holes. (I had a...

Something attacked my leptoseris overnight. I think it's some sort of sponge or other parasite that lives on the montiora spongedes and comes out at night. My understanding is that monti's won't fight unless they're actually touching. Any ideas what it is or what damaged the lepto? I'm in a...

Turns out I didn't submit it because it asked for the recipient's phone number. Here's what it says when I do a search: QR code worked. Sent payment for 1 ticket. No surprise it turns out I'm the one that can't spell. I was referring to @bayareareef, not reefers

Seems like a small typo in the Venmo name. It's @bayareareefer singular, not @bayareareefers Just sent for 1 ticket.

I hadn't planned on CFM, but I might if I had a reason to go... I'll pm you.

This seems like the way. My space is incredibly limited, which is why I framed the question the way that I did. I don't really have the space but it feels like if you want to get into the acro game, you need to have started a year ago. Thinking I will pick up both (along with a tricolor valida...

What red tabling acropora do you like? If there can only be one, what would it be? I'm close to pulling the trigger on a buy from battlecorals. Options include: red planet or bc mutha ship. Also strongly considering a PC rainbow. Bonus points for hardy. That has me leaning towards pc rainbow or...

Does anyone use tap water in SF or Oakland for their aquarium? I'm in Oakland. My TDS meter says it's about 30 ppm. Is that good enough to make salt water and top off? The modern trend seems to prioritize stability above all else. If the tap's always the same, maybe it could work. You'd have to...

They definitely go for anacropora. FWIW they did not go for my bubblegum digitata. Just the anacropora and monti cap. I had them on the glass months before they metastasized into a problem, fyi. That said, definitely take prompt action. They are a difficult enemy. It took about 6 weeks to...

November 11, 2024 Alkalinity Alkalinity has been at levels that would give most reefers serious heartburn. It’s probably been low for a long time. Low meaning like as high as 5 down to 3.8 or so. I got some ESV 2-part and am slowly trying to raise it. 2.5ml is the smallest mark on the cup...

October 7, 2024 The tank survived its most serious heatwave. Turns out it's not very hard to cool a small tank. The temp was over 85 by the time I intervened. It was in the low 80s for two or three days.

Is anyone interested in a Hanna calcium checker? Just the egg and the syringes. There is lots of reagent B packets, but I didn’t close the reagent A tight enough and now its empty. I'm in downtown Oakland.

I would like a frag of this one. @Srt4eric, @Baykes, @SeanMc, have requested a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

FWIW, once I did not see any for 5-6 weeks, they were gone and didn't come back.

Look at night on your montis and anacropora with a flashlight. They're almost never out during the day. IME, they are very tough and persistent. Do not underestimate them. I was able to beat them, but it sucked and I declared victory prematurely more than once. I used tweezers and a sharpened...

IMO, that looks like a forest fire.

I got both of mine from @under_water_ninja. To me the main difference is the polyp spacing and color. The FF has polyps packed in tighter whereas the bubblegum is more spaced out. The FF polyps are a brighter orange too. Here are a couple crappy pics where you can see both of them. I'm not...

Are the bright tips working for you? If so, any idea why?

I assume we're all passing around the same lineage here the Bay Area. I got mine at High Tide Aquatics in Oakland. I've seen some of Kenny's with bright tips. When I bought mine it did not have them, but they did appear at one point, so I know this digi can do it. IMO, it does not feel like a...

It was getting 500 at one time, including when it briefly had the yellow/green tips. In June 2024, I move both the frag and the angle of the light, so that it now penetrates the glass, which reduces the intensity. It's now in the old monitpora cap spot which was getting 275. There's no way it's...
