    Hydros Maven delayed

    My suggestion would be one of two things, if you're interested in Hydros but just don't want to wait for the Maven: 1. Pre-set up where it will be mounted in the cabinet, where bottles will go, etc. 2. Ask if you care about nutrients, or if you just care about the big elements, or if you just...

    Hydros Maven delayed

    I'd like to be cautiously optimistic, but given the challenges of automated NO3/PO4 testing and the fact they waited till this late to announce a delay, I'm doubtful.

    Hydros Maven delayed

    Also, responding to the second part of your comment: all we have is conjecture, but I'd imagine that NO3/PO4 testing in the format they're using (air bubbles IIRC) is probably challenging to get dialed in, which could be a reason for the delay. I'm a bit frustrated, since I thought, "Surely they...

    Hydros Maven delayed

    Some people got an e-mail; I placed a preorder through an LFS, though, and I found out via the Hydros FB group. @phatduckk How'd your Trident NP end up working out?

    Hydros Maven delayed

    For those of us who, like me, were looking forward to picking one up this month: it's been delayed from its original release date of black friday, and there is no new confirmed release date.

    Nori feeder… what do you use?

    After messing with clips, I'll usually just take a small section of PVC pipe, wrap the nori sheet around it, and rubber band the nori to the pipe. Sinks to the bottom and lets them do a feeding frenzy.

    Marco Rock boulders- pending

    I'm good on rock, but wanted to say 1. Thanks for offering these, Michael; and 2. For those who may be interested in this - this type of rock is excellent for NSA (negative space aquascaping), and these were my favorites to take a hammer and chisel to to break up and re-glue together to make a...

    Complete Bonus/Ultra Coral List - 2024 (REVISED AS OF 2/16/25)

    On a more serious note: My tendency would be towards JVU's preferences—making slow changes to the list—once we have it in a good place for all the groups. In the interest of full transparency: when we started up the swaps again post-COVID, and again after I took over as coordinator, the...

    Complete Bonus/Ultra Coral List - 2024 (REVISED AS OF 2/16/25)

    :"M...Morty. Hear me out mUUURPorty. We're gonna take animals, right? And then glUORRRPe them to rocks. We'll stick them in glass cages of water, Morty. It'll be amazing. Greatest (expletive) you've ever seen!"

    Hawaii snorkeling and coral recommendations (Kona, Kauai near Poipu)

    Seconding this. Even snorkeling is phenomenal; but if you can do the night dive, it's another world. My wife @Bad Mojo and I were able to do the night dive a few years ago. We had the best seats in the house and multiple manta rays came so close to us that I actually had to move to avoid...

    We've got it, since we didn't know whose it was. We'll be down next month and can drop it off to you if you're not up in Roseville before then.

    Complete Bonus/Ultra Coral List - 2024 (REVISED AS OF 2/16/25)

    You're welcome to post it in the frag swap thread if you'd like; there's no real preference either way if you want to keep it a surprise or make people aware what you're bringing. The only exception is that, if you're unsure of something being bonus or ultra, to clear it with us ahead of time...

    Guys I think my pH probe broke

    The one that's decided both single and double digit pH is for wusses.

Not the end of the world if you don't, but...

    Coral Hub U.S. List

    Oooof. I'm sorry to hear that. Something you might appreciate: My old PI used to do radioactive tritium-based in situ hybridizations; basically, taking a picture using a very weak radiation source as the 'light' for exposing the film. His particular work needed to expose for 8 months. Someone...
