If anyone is curious about my tank parameters, I just sent some in on Sat to Triton for most of my tanks. I usually don't send in samples very often. I usually just dip my finger in the tank and hold it up to the wind. ;) 150 Gallon Tank https://www.triton-lab.de/en/showroom/icp-oes/246489...

My recent experience, I sent in samples to Triton last Saturday (6/28) and got results back Wednesday (7/2) afternoon.

I've never understood the hate for Mobius. I do deeply dislike that it requires you to be close to your system (MXM solves this for newer products on Apex), but besides that, the software has never caused me issue and has worked quite well for me. Can it be better? Yes, but it's not awful by any...

If your goal was to reclaim space by removing the internal overflows, going closed loop will remove some of that benefit. Plus if you don't like the look of pipes in your display, you'll have to have a rock scape or other decorative features to hide the plumbing in the tank.

Thanks everyone!

40 breeders are 50% off at Petco right now.

This is the way. Use both for fail safe reasons. While not likely, if siphon break hole gets clogged, it can siphon. Here's my ATO line.

I'm up in Castro Valley.

Thanks! Maybe next event? Never know, but if it is a horrida, a lot of them that were being sold were just purple/grey with white polyps.

I'm terrible at identifying acro species, but it might be an acropora horrida. I used to see horrida at LFSes more often, but not so much anymore. If anyone has an extra frag they like to share, I'll like a piece.

For me, it's really isn't about time. There's too many variables to consider. Between pests, swinging parameters from not so good husbandry, equipment failures, bacteria, etc, I'm good if I see it's growing, encrusting and gaining color. Then keeping it alive is possible. Yeah, it could be more...

Frag Tank An update on this mariculture piece. This thing is super hairy. Bright green polyps with a bright hot pink/fuchsia flesh. I've started calling this "The Hairy Pinky" June 24, 2025 Here's a another shot of it with the polyps a little retracted showing the hot pink flesh goes through...

Wow! You guys are clearly reaching and have no clue what you're talking about. Clearly it's that one head is exposed to more CO2 than the other head and has a bubble of localized pH drop surrounding it.

I'm hoping this thing goes vertical soon. Colors are good and it continues to encrust, Need it to start sprouting some branches. June 20, 2025 May 23, 2025

I've seen the two of them on the glass two maybe three times. Rest of the time they're in the sand.

You and your family polluted the air with your respiration.

Ever see a Giant Knobby Creeper? I picked up two of them a month or so ago. They stayed buried in the sand most of the time it seems. Hopefully they're nocturnal and do a lot of work on the sand while I'm sleeping. They look like a big ass cerith...

Grippers are easy to find, been using them for a while. Saltwateraqaurium.com and BRSsells them. https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/32-5-coral-gripper-83-mm-maxspect/?searchid=7564957&search_query=Coral+gripper...
