FYI this coral is also referenced as ATL Purple Rain. ATL being Atlantis Aquarium that was a store in Fremont in the 90s/2000s and was a big acro collector. Here's mine that I also got from Tin.

Yup. Then there's the debate between push and pull. Do you have the pump on the input side and push water into the reactor and forces effluent out? Or you do you have the pump on the effluent side and pulls water through the reactor? Pull is supposed to be better in case of clogs but I had...

5'6" here with a 26" tall tank. While it's not always fun reaching down, I think the height is visually worth it. I have a variety of long tools and tongs to help with stuff at the bottom and my dining table bench is near the tank so not a hassle to use. Heck, I want a 36" tall tank if I were...

Love it. What's considered bonus/ultra is constantly changing and a comprehensive list of all the ultra-splice-bouncing-holy grail-rainbow corals is nearly impossible so this will help. I can help with the grading if there's a need.

Did anyone get this alage to attach to a rock or is it forever loose and floating around? I've even tried wrapping it with mesh netting around a rock. Eventually it grows big and buoyant enough that it rips itself off and floats around.

For anyone considering one, sign up for email notifications for when factory seconds become available and save $43. These are new and mine is nearly flawless other than a visible seam from the 3d printing. I was able to get one within a month of signing up for notifications and there was only...

Are you getting any issues with mixing pellets and flakes? Where the different feeds separate during the drum rotating process and eventually the heavier stuff goes to the bottom? I get the same issue @JVU mentioned with freeze dried brine shrimp and pellets. Maybe it's more prone with certain...

Same experience here even in a 7ft tank, it was a constant power struggle. Had an old purple established and introduced a pair of helfrich and an orange. The purple was more aggressive and the helfrich pair stuck together being chased. The orange stayed in his upper corner. Then one of the...

I had aspirations of having a tank with bommis/isolated island structures with lot of white pristine sand. Japanese style. Then I wanted space for more coral so i added another rock, then another rock, then another, and then most of my sand was covered -_- I hope u can resist the temptation more...

I'll be in south bay this weekend if you want to pick up there instead

Accidental "frags". Free pickup in Dublin or else they get bleached and get recycled in the calcium reactor. Colony for reference

KH Guardian takes it a step further. If you use non-genuine reagent, it bricks your machine and you have to send it back to the company to have it unlocked. For you safety and to protect the machine from malfunction they say :p No one has fully figured how it knows, but the reagent has a green...

Is kalk your only source of alk and calcium? If you're doing 2-part also you can lower that dosage. If you do set it for 10hrs a day, set it for daytime because that's when alk and calcium gets consumed and not dosing it at night will help stabilize your levels. Option C is add more corals to...

PENDING Adopted a larger female a couple weeks ago and already had two small clowns, so this little guy has to go. Pickup in Dublin

Guess you shouldn't deep fry it to get rid of it. Tried these in Japan, kinda good.

Mithrax Ruber maybe? Related to the emerald crab (mithrax sculptus) and seems to be reef safe

Is that the tank from Arizona and did you end up getting the euro bracing repaired? That thing is going to look great when set up! Location, soil type, and age of house probably is a factor. With hilly neighborhoods like yours built on a slope, slab foundations require a lot more work. But yes...

Tiffen 85B filter was recommended when I researching this and has worked well for me. What orange filter are you using? I've tested a couple cheapo ones and they don't turn out good. 10k white balance might be too high if you're using an orange filter too.

Give it a couple years and you'll have the new Garf Grunge! You might remember Garf from back in the day. Grunge was literally a scoop of rubble, sand, and silt from the bottom of their system (looked like shit tbh) that had been seeded with bacteria from all different wild sources over many...

I never heard of waterproof engineering hardwood until now. Looks like the core is a composite material versus traditional plywood in regular engineered hardwood. Aside from the waterproofness, do you expect high traffic that'll subject your flooring to scratches and dings? Like dogs, kids...
