    Ultra Coral Submissions for 11/2 Frag Swap

    You are right, Oregon Tort is back in the ultra category - I wonder if some votes were changed (which is fine), since I only shared corals that had definitive majority votes. At any rate, submissions are closed at this point and I will finalize the bonus/ultra lists for publish tomorrow.

    105, 3years on a road of bones

    Coral warfare is a strange thing. Sometimes corals will practically grow into/onto each other, other times there's a clear winner and the loser just kind gives up the spot, then other times the smallest sting sets of a deadly necrosis event that will take the entire colony if you don't frag it...

    Guide: Lanthanum Chloride dosing for Phosphate control

    I'm sure it's gone already, assuming your system is producing some po4 for it to have bound to (and if it isn't...you don't need to worry about managing it in the first place). I am using even less LaCl than @Thales - a 10:1 RODI:LC dilution, but only about 4ml of this per day, spread across 4...

    Guide: Lanthanum Chloride dosing for Phosphate control

    Agree w/ @Alexander1312 , I had extremely elevated lanthanum levels due to an accident and my corals were perfectly fine (I think it was like 250+ ug/l - so several orders of magnitude greater than your result). Everything was fine, actually, except my yellow tang died. That being said, if you...

    Thomas' CADE Reef 1500 S2

    I think I want to do this too - then I can keep some clams without exposing them to the mantis shrimp and CBB in the DT.

    Are my par readings ok?

    More spread is always better, but as far as the actual intensity - it's perfectly fine. Some acros might prefer more (though not all) but they aren't going to die because of 300ish PAR. I also have mushrooms / LPS that have adapted to 300-500 PAR levels and are happy and growing just fine...

    Challenges in removing chloramine in RODI setup

    I am also using this - not really sure when to replace it, though. How are you testing for chloramines @Alexander1312 when I was on this road before, I could not really find a reliable test for chloramines - so I got the monster carbon filter and slapped it in my system upstream of the membranes...

    Ultra Coral Submissions for 11/2 Frag Swap

    Then go ahead and enter it in the sheet for us to vote on it :) I suspect something like a single head of dragon soul or green and purple frog spawn will not get confirmed as ultra - but won’t know unless we vote

    Ultra Coral Submissions for 11/2 Frag Swap

    Updated the initial post w/ the current list of confirmed Ultra corals - still voting! Some interesting items that have fallen to bonus and will NOT be Ultra this swap: Oregon Tort (too many at last swap prob?) GMK Zoa (definitely too many at last swap) JF Fox Flame (!?) ARC Master Yoda / RR...

    DBTC - Official Rules and Best Practices - 2025 Update

    The BOD decided we should make an official update to Mike's @Coral reefer old DBTC rules post (found here: https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/dbtc-info-rules.23030). I am going to unsticky Mike's old post (thank you Mike!) and sticky this one - until the next big update. For information...

    WYSIWYG SPS Coral Colonies

    The point of me saying "BOD hat off" is to indicate that my opinions are not necessarily the same as other members of the BOD. We are a group of individuals and don't always have the same opinion or the same vision on these topics, and my comment is an effort to be clear about that. You are...
