    Make $$$ breeding Berghia Nudibranchs!

    I should have done this and given away my setup to someone in the club. I sold everything for basically nothing plus a ton of work to someone already doing it, and then he stopped.

    Bump! I’m not on the Board anymore but plan to attend. I’d encourage anyone interested in seeing how their club works and decides things to attend. If you have a particular issue you’d like to see addressed and voice your opinion about it, let Eric know.

    Need berghia nudibranch

    Berghia will eat any size of Aiptasia but they start with the small ones and hidden ones. I’ve watched them eat big ones many many times.

    Alternative Trident Calibration Solution

    You can do that but another way is to test with Salifert or whatever you trust then use the results you get to calibrate the Trident, intake tube still in your tank, so it reads the same.

    Homewrecker

    Did you actually transfer (ie you gave away everything you had) or just give him a frag of it?

    Main Drain Clogged?

    Yeah sounds like your main drain pipe is at least partially clogged. You could try to snake it but more likely you’ll have to take it apart and clean it out. It’s a PITA. In the current situation you not only have the annoying noise but also loss of the safety of the extra pipe.

    Brand new sealed box core 7 reagents

    I did for years, until fairly recently. Actually I think their 3-part is the best around, when I used only Triton my tank was doing great. Now I’m experimenting with other options and frankly not as happy. But stubborn. So I’ll pass on this and someone else can try it. Don’t worry about their...

    We couldn’t use a tax write off because we are a nonprofit and don’t pay income tax.

    How do you lower Nitrates

    Also every time nutrients go through a cycle it gives the skimmer another chance to remove them as they go through their skimmable phases. Whether by stimulating uptake with iron (basically always rate limiting) or carbon (usually rate limiting) or photosynthesis (also usually rate limiting...

    What would you do? Blue Clove Polyps

    Yeah I’ve heard Chris talk about that, and at one of our events at High Tide earlier this year I asked him about it directly. He definitely seems to think it’s a good approach. I may try the Fenbendazole flakes at some point for the clove polyps I have. It seems kind of risky for everything else...

    What would you do? Blue Clove Polyps

    Those look similar to what I have. Unfortunately pretty common. I didn’t think they were a big deal when I had them as long as you have. They are a slow burn.

    What would you do? Blue Clove Polyps

    I tried blue cloves when they were cool a lot of years ago. They spread a little locally and looked nice (IMO) for a year or so then died off, don’t know why. This was a long time ago, way before I joined BAR. Now I have these brown or tan clove polyps. They are much smaller and not pretty. I...
