I used deicing magnesium for a while. It obviously had impurities. I never saw a change in the tank when I switched to brs magnesium but it brought more peace of mind.

I have seen bubble algae on a frag but it disappeared and I haven't seen any since. I assume it was thanks to "Spike" ;)

I'd need to do the math to compare the concentration but it seems like it's close to the same price per material by weight. Are you unsatisfied with the brs cacium?

As for the hair algae, my understanding is that mature growth of the algae is less tasty compared to fresh growth. It seems that manual removal is the best treatment for the long stuff and herbivores for the new growth.

The nice thing is they will eat anything eventually. The downside is they will eat anything eventually. They are like sharks, they take a bite then decide if they like it or want to spit it out. Don't put any single polyp zoa frags in the tank with a fox face ‍

Onto the better news.

Miami Hurricane chalice survived and I thought it was a gonner. All of the hammers and frogspawn bleached a little and are still retracted but their tissue looks healthy again. One of them was torn and I cut the flow in half for a couple days to let everything relax. The stylo will recover.

This. This was how I scratched the impulse buy itch when I couldn't find a coral I wanted. Buy a book.

You can make a concrete mold and create your own. I done this a few times with 3d prints with stuff like skulls and helmets.

I am able to make these changes on my phone while traveling. It's more tedious but you have access

It's one of those things that comes with a mature tank. Trim it back and it will regrow. I figure regrowth is consuming more than mature tissue. I don't know if I can prove that lol

But I truly appreciate the offer.

I actually don't want any anemones. They are a pain in my ass since I leave for weeks at a time for work. The only reason I had them was because my daughter won't stop grabbing them at frag swaps lol. She has a biocube, they always end up taking over the tank.

I have never had this much loss in a move. I also did this semi professionally for years though. I have 3 more chalice that died. My urchin died. Two anemones dead. I have a tenuis and milli that are still alive but all other acros are gone. Stylos and most of the montipora are dying.

Most of them were not named, at least not that I kept track of.

They were in cups for too long. Maybe it would have been better to leave them in a cooler temp instead of floating in the tank. A couple frags might make it but all of the colonies are gone. The Miami hurricane colony is dead. The frags look OK still A couple hammers melted overnight. I'm...

I ran out of glue trying to get stuff placed. Of course the rocks aren't in exactly the same place so it's a crap shoot if everything is going to be happy
