Hello, My QT tank is slowly becoming a bit of a display tank. I feed the fish pretty heavily since one is a Copper Band butterfly that is still learning to eat something other than shrimp. I don't seem him graduating to the display any time soon. So, I thought about adding some sort of hardy...

I just set up my trident. Twice a week I double check using my Red Sea test kit. I’m out of town 8 days and so far I’m pretty confident looking at the trends.

I’m a little late to this but glad the box fish is alive. I hear stories of them nuking a tank when stressed. Sounds like getting stuck in a drain would do this. Doesn’t look like anything bad happened. I wanted to get a pair for my tank but I worry about them releasing toxins. Any thoughts?

Yes, best not to. we started playing in college when they first came out. I know, I’m a nerd, some all night battles. Tried to get my son to play but not into it…yet…

So I assume you are doing manual testing of ca and alk? Have you noticed any trends you could work off of while your gone?

Probably leave it alone. When the torches grow that space will be used up soon.

Love Magic! I’m in for next frag swap but it’s been years since I have played. Lost all my OG cards from the 90’s in a move. Can’t imagine what those would be worth now.

Damn, you are geographically undesirable right now. G

Its carib sea dry rock. That stuff is hard to chip away or break. I suspect the saw might be my best option.

Hello, I have never fragged a zoa before. Usually I just drop a rock on them. The climb on, and that’s my frag plug. This is one solid rock. Just wondering what the advice would be. These are Jedi mind trick zoa’s.

Unfortunately, we are celebrating my son's birthday that day. No matter how much I try I don't think this is how he wants to spend his birthday. Just need a little more time to make him a reef nerd. I do have a large purple stylo colony I can donate for fragging if someone can pick it Friday...

Is this the same seaklear? Found various types online. Waaaaay cheaper than other products. https://seaklear.com/pool-problem-solving-products/phosphate-remover/

Thanks everyone. I forgot to mention I was starting at 50% of the target dose. Thanks Rich for the list of episodes. This place rocks!! G

Do you remember which episode?

Hello, Decided to finally try lanthanum dosing for my tank. I wanted to make sure I got the math right. Here we go: Phosphate Rx: per the calculator link Derek_sr posted. To drop my phosphate by 0.1 for a 180g tank it would be essentially 12 drops (I think the calculator said 11.8). Phosphate...

I used the large 16" long box from Octo Aquatics. But he was only in there for 4 or 5 days. Guess I can try again with a longer period. G

Damn! Bummed I missed another one of these. Between work schedules and wife schedules it just hasn't been working out. Next time! Sounds like lots of cool finds and good deals. G

Well, Today was going to be the day. My rhomboid wrasse has been in the 60g display for months (8 or 9 months). I had placed my rhomboid wrasse into the acclimation box this week. No issues noted. Today was going to be his Independence Day! I let him out and was watching the tank while enjoying...

Are those yellow tangs any cheaper than biota ones?

That is pretty cool looking.
