NeoNitro, but thinking of switching to food grade potassium nitrate (because it's cheaper) I started using it since I almost zero'd out my nitrates and wanted to barely dose nitrates through out the day to keep that from happening again I auto-dose 20ml per day (1.5ml 12x/day into my 800(ish)...

I'm not sure about this. I believe if you go check out the Bay Area Reef Central forum, you'll find dozens of ex-BAR members who have decided the club is no longer for them but continue to partake in the hobby. I'm just surprised so many people are affected by one member deciding it's not for...

Best of luck to you in the future. This club isn't for everyone.

My vote, We should change this to "Tank of the Quarter/Season" and have people include progression shots throughout the 3 month period. Maybe also include some of their maintenance routine, dosing and feeding schedule, etc. Would put less pressure to find a new person every month.

Yes, I meant the "uniseals", I would avoid these. If I had known I could have it made with bulkheads instead, I definitely would have gone that route.

I like "shadow" overflow boxes the best. Next best is Eshopps, they both are very good. The Modular marine one I have uses slip, rubber, non-glueable downspouts, would not recommend them. I also had to threaten them with contacting my credit card when I didn't receive my order or a reply to...

I'm interested. I have an Acanthophilia that's been happy in my tank for years, I believe the Cynaria would like similar parameters. It's too nice to take for free though, Can I trade you some corals for it? I got a bunch of nice chalice frags.

I'd recalibrate your apex PH probe to make sure those numbers are correct. Maybe even buy a cheap PH pen to double check against.

I'm assuming they're using the method (or something similar) that people figured out using Red Sea's nitrate reagents and Hanna's ULR Phosphate Checker. Using that method, the ULR Phosphate checker won't read correctly if your nitrates are over 10. Guessing that will be the range with the new...

FYI I just moved a 210g tank with 3 people, no way it weighed 600 lbs. Your location will help to see if there are any helpers close by.

Those look perfect, nice to have the speed control to make sure there not too loud also. You can order extra brackets from aquatic life (or brs) for your fixture to mount them.

Great idea! I was actually thinking about trying to mount a camera on the same hybrid fixture. Thought it would look cool when I'm traveling.

I have been using this method to check nitrates for the last few months, seems to work as advertised. Side note, I have tested substituting the "fresh salt water" with RODI water and the measurement comes out the same for me. Just FYI for those who don't have extra fresh salt water sitting...

Just saw this on Amazon, looks like its been out for about a year but I haven't heard of any reefers using it. Seems like a great affordable option for those who don't want to buy an Apex. What do you think...

I've used NeoNItro a few times when my nitrates dropped, does what it says it does

Available on BRS right now, HURRY!!!

Sigh, just finished the last episode yesterday. Looking for other podcasts like this but haven't found any yet. Also, here is a link to Rich's R2R tank thread, very interesting to see his feeding regiment. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/rich-ross-home-tank-guess-the-phosphate.296635/page-15

BTW, just in case Rich or Terrance see this, I'll buy the 1st piece of "Donkey Punch" Euphyllia. Keep it up, loving the pod!!!

Hey all, not sure if the rest of you are also in search of good content during this quarantine. I just found the podcast "Skimmate" by Rich and Terrance (both BAR members) and have been binge listening to all the episodes. Got to say, very entertaining and pretty educational as well...

Thanks all, I'm not too worried about common pests since I already have them in my tank (i.e. aptasia, bristle worms, vermettid snails, etc.).
