Not sure if anyone is interested, but I have been feeding a DIY coral feeding (smoothie) mix for the past couple of months, twice a week. The blender I have been using for this was a bit slow and I could not resist the black friday deal for a significantly reduced Vitamix 5200. The recipe is...

Its the largest one he sells: https://octoaquatics.com/product/the-shu/ Its pretty big though and difficult to maneuver without hitting things, specifically if you have a Eurobrace.

Here are the new joiners, just got them from Kenny / @under_water_ninja today: He still has two more pairs if someone is interested.

And I am glad it is sold now :).

And did not see your text - we were ‘off the grid’ for a few hours (hiking) - bad timing, did not expect these sales coming through on Saturday - thanks so much for letting me know though!!!

Saw this post too late :(. XP8 is no longer available…

Thank you very much - the person I am working with from airwaterice.com mentioned this, but it still did not seem to fit from how I measured it. However, when it turned out that a pressure tank is the ONLY way to get decent water flow, I just asked him to send the smallest one (2.2 gallons)...

But I do not think they clean the shells, so I might actually buy them from Paul / @PjFish going forward :). That sounds like some quarantining I would pay for (vs. just keeping the inverts in elevated temp water that inverted reef does).

Sorry, I am lost :). One more attempt to clarify: You wrote this: I responded that I took my (one and only) Aquabiomics test 30 days after my tank was established, and had already a pretty good result, i.e., 90/91 percentile. This made me believe that a strong biome can be established...

Not sure if I follow. When this sample was taken, the tank was brand new, and only setup 30 days before, back at the end of 2023. Sorry, I might have misunderstood you, but just wanted to clarify.

Now that feedback from Eli seems contradicting from what I have seen, and I did not add a ton of things as you did, only from a couple of so places, TBS, then the place in Hawaii, I think. The tank was 30 days old at the time of taking the sample. Post in thread 'Alex’s IM 150 EXT'...

I am not an electrician, but the point was only to state that the three of them seem more or less comparable. It looks like the key benefit with the Ecoflow is its expandability.

All of the power back ups seem to be at their lowest price point - Ecoflow/Jackery/Bluetti not trying to duplicate my other post but since it is a very important but no fun reef equipment item, I thought it deserves to be mentioned here. Post in thread 'Alternative power back-up solutions (not...

I decided to buy this one now. I will use the Ecoflow when it comes back, hopefully fixed, for the frag tank, but will not rely on it for my main tank anymore. https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0DCJV9LTB?context=search

That reminds me of my Yelp review for Violet Aquariums in San Jose, when they sold me this mummy eye chalice… https://yelp.to/8ovbVHBiA3

I still have the Red Sea frag tank / 28 gallon. I have been looking at the 50-gallon EXT from Innovative Marine, but it looks like their smaller models do not have Eurobrace.

The G2 also failing is a given, in my opinion, from what I have been hearing in the German speaking forums. Curious though when we start hearing about the new G3s having the same issue. Gieseman also sells aquariums (Germany only) and they recently advertised that none of their tanks ever...

This seemed like a good deal - just ordered a spare one: https://store.coralvue.com/hydros-triple-optical-ato-kit-open-box

Kenny/High Tide/ @under_water_ninja can ship them to you. 100% in camp (professional) QT and most of my fish are from him. Given your setup, I would not take any chances.

What we all can agree though, is that pricing these corals by polyp seems to not a good deal, haha :).
