    Your ICP looks very similar to mine pre-CG dosing, so it might be worth trying indeed! Do you see a lack of red/yellow color on your acros?

    Really nice, any idea how much PAR it gets?

    Yeah looking pretty amazing @Invictus is that the one I gave you? I have one frag left after cutting up my colony - doing OK but growth is slower than the original

    No, I don’t grow any macro algae. CG just happens to be a product that contains the traces I was after, iron and manganese in particular. These are also in the TM product, which I was dosing fairly heavily. But I didn’t start seeing them showing up on ICP until after the CG. I’ve got my 3rd...

    Derek's 225g - Magnifica / SPS Reef

    Growth has always been pretty good for me, last few months I had some issues with coloration though, especially reds and yellows. I have always mixed TM “Elements” A+K with my ESV but have never been able to get measurable ICP results for certain traces. After talking to @RandyC I noticed that...

    Some hastily taken macro shots this morning, I am staring to get some red color back (dosing Randy’s secret sauce) and pretty happy with how the tank is doing: Bill murray Disney Princess peach Golden dragon Pc rainbow from the growout contest Fox flame The fuzz Blue+filter...

    Tunze wave box? Yes or No

    I have been running a standing wave with jebao pumps for 2 years - you dont need any 3d printed parts to do it. I’ve never actually had a jebao pump die (including a return pump). I would take a chance on another jebao, they are tanks. And given the price…it’s hard to justify something 5x the cost.

    I want to hear their thoughts on acropora polyp extension.

    I just fragged mine if you need one.

    Doing the club a big favor

    I discovered I was one of the offenders using these bastards a few months back. Held on to them to give them away as freebies but realized we’d all suffer for it. So to the landfill they go! My apologies if you got one, I switched to Nathan’s @Coral Hub (Nathan) plugs a while back.

    My Neptune salinity probe died, is it worth replacing?

    If you can’t trust it, what’s the point really?

    I’m sure you know this but nori contains a lot of iodine. Mine usually tests high on ICP mostly because of this, I think. Although maybe it’s also in my pellets or something (mostly TDO).

    Albert's UNS R120

    In my experience, zoa "gardens" become 1-2 zoas that kind of take over. Just FYI in case you have some you really like on there.

    I actually would love a couple clams, but last time I added one it got eaten by something. My guess is the mantis shrimp. I also have a CBB that would probably eat it...?

    Trouble growing dandelions?!? I've got a lifetime supply in my backyard...I can frag some up for you. Maybe start a DBTC. :cool: Grandpa is doing great btw! And there ARE 2x yellow tangs in my DT now. Perhaps they will pair up (unsure of their sex).

    Avast auto feeder question

    Right? I knew it can't just be me with this feedback. The old version was honestly just better in every single way...ugh! Having to deal with the cable management every time is a nightmare. That cord is so stiff in the channel it's a non-trivial task.

    Avast auto feeder question

    If your plank is older you almost certainly have the older style pump assembly - consider yourself lucky, as I really dislike the new ones. I think the dial is an over-complication and I've already broken both of mine (the junction between the extended tube thingy and the main dial). Because...
