I won't be able to make it to BAYMAC, but I will be donating some frags to the BAR sales tank, Ian kindly agreed to transport my frags! No pictures, but here's a list Pokerstar monti (1-2 frags, depending) Tyree ponape birdsnest Cyphastrea decadia Steve Elias blue stag ATL cherry bomb ultra...

Nice pic Ian! - my anthias never seemed to stay still or pose, so I could never get a shot.

I get carbon at BRS as well - I've been using the Rox carbon, does anyone have any opinion about the other carbons they sell?

So much for waiting a week! :D Looks like a nice bulb combo. How about a double exposure image to show off how the Sfiligoi looks?

I got all my info from RC - a search for bromide and dow should turn up enough threads to read for a few days :D The jist of most the threads I looked thru (mostly the ones where Randy Holmes-Farley posted) - dowflake and all the repackaged stuff should be fine for occasional boosts in calcium...

Just FYI for those who dose DIY two part - the calcium chloride produced by DOW chemicals (since 2007 IIRC) may have really high levels of bromine that could accumulate and cause issues over time, esp if you use ozone. Most of the stuff that's readily available like DOW flakes, peladow, or...

Looking good Ian, seems like you're out of room already though haha! My favorite coral would be that gorgeous efflo in the back right! :D

looks outstanding Ian!

Thanks Norm, I can definitely pick up in Alameda. I'll shoot you a PM

Norm, nice write up, and a great technique - elimates the variation in volume of each drop. It seems like the alk tests can have a large amout of discrepancy between different makes, this would be a nice way to calibrate each batch/kit. Since I wasn't able to make it to the swap - is there a...

x2 on what Norm said about raising the Mg - take it above 1500 and you should see the bryopsis go away. Safer IME than trying to manage/control an alk swing.

Ian, the stand looks great! Love the color as well, great choice.

Hope this is the right format for a gen 2 : Aussie red&blue micro/ibn/seminolecpa/vapormd/gen 2/8-02-08

Nice addition Ray, wish I could get my frag to look like the one in your pic!

OK, well I guess I'll wrap it up, first two frags with go to Sergio and sfsuphysics

cool, thanks bryan, sent you a PM!

Tony - I guess I'd consider low nutrient levels nitrate < 1 and phosphate undetectable on a normal test kit or < 0.1 on a Hanna phosphate colorimeter. I don't really have a requirement for the nutrient levels for the DBTC, I just need to know you can successfully keep SPS, the...

I have two frags of this coral, it's a pretty fast growing coral, but doesn't keep its color well in higher nutrient tanks. I've been keeping it under high light conditions 400w HQI radiums. This picture is of another frag, the two I have for the DBTCX should be similar in size...

Hey Bryan, I posted earlier, so I'm not sure where in the lineup I am, but I'd love to get a frag of this micro

I used the KZ test for a while before I passed it along. I found it to be quite difficult to use, at best. While I don't really follow K levels, I do send my water into aquarium water testing every few months, and use their results to track my K levels and double check my home test kits. Like...
