Ok @Thales -spill the beans -just to demonstrate that people are also excited about other things than the Rubbermaid toothbrush- you had mentioned an urchin that eats valonia? I couldn’t quite get the name of it off reef beef though. Can you tell us what it is and the concerns around coral...

This morning @boun11 came over and helped me “amputate” one of the rocks. As I moving towards heavy SPS that part of the rock was heavily loaded with Yumas and shrooms. I will get some SPS from him in trade. Then @HankDean V came over to discuss the new scape & some ideas of how the artist...

Ok I think I will be adding a helix light bar to the set up I have as part of the tank overhaul . However based on the two Red Sea 90’s in place and a custom lid - I think I need to get a custom mount built. Anyone know companies off hand that do this- Thanks

I was just talking to Champion lighting and supply and they have no eta on the next shipment inbound. Does anybody else carry it. Def useful to putting in frags even if PIA sometimes.

OK I am trying to get a small statistical study (either logistical regression and/or hazard ratio) going in respects to Red Sea tank failures, but I need to know some inputs first -Once I have this information then I will have a much more thorough form in Google for people to add in data. See...

Just recently I went to attempt to reschedule the trident to go 2x a day. Once for the combined and once for the alk- I managed to connect to it by going through this: https://apexfusion.com/apex/<ID>/config/outputs/6_3 Then I attempted the code : Set off If Time between 08:00 to 08:01...

As the post said - I may introduce a strip light to augment some shady spots. I have two Red Sea 90’s in place but need something I can control by apex. Thinking the AI 30 inch but that isn’t cheap- $400 plus I need the module to plug it in. Any other suggestions? Orpheak? Also I...

Long story short-I switched the plugs for the avast feeder and tube. Didn’t notice until much later.. basically dumped a lot of pellets now sitting on sand floor? Recommendations? Bury it with new sand? Try to gravel it out? Leave it be and the snails and shrimp will eventually deal with...

Up to now I have been using ATI as my source of ICP testing. I have one test left so I am contemplating to another company. Be interested in what others use (and why in comments below) or have used and not happy with- I have included a bunch of companies. Some unknown (to me)

Came up in a link from saltwater aquarium New all in one protein skimmer from aquaforest - Looks interesting-. Would certainly cut down on my Frankenstein’ed approach to skimmers -esp the recirculating co2 scrubber...

So the trident went down with a test b failure., Going to try and fix it myself but this is the third unit in 3 years that I have had. Second unit under warranty, third unit by refurbished unit-which is not inexpensive-it’s $150 and the warranty is only 6 months. If I can’t get it resolved...

Hi all- I am just clarifying that the species in the pics are these below, https://portphillipmarinelife.net.au/species/10945. I had a few but now suddenly they have exploded in population. They do a good job grazing and don’t bother corals. I just have too many I think??? I counted 14...

Check this out!

Kalk is out due mostly to the fact that the amount of kalk needed to have an impact was exceeding the evaporation rate and was really problematic keeping it from getting into the hyposalinity state. So for the simple reason of never letting go of things-the CO2 scrubber is back in action. I...

Earlier this week I thought the Molly miller blenny bit the dust. Very surprised last night when I went to clean out the protein skimmer it was swimming around the sump. Managed to get it back in the DT and hopefully it learned its lesson..

At first I though it was just that the nitrates bottomed out a month ago (and I got it back up fast) that couple corals suddenly died -but now about a month later I still have coral dying off - Mostly sps-two acros RTN’ed this week. So i have lost 4 acros, bird nest colony, another sps...

I have been a little busier at work and not at home as much. Normally I test no3/po4 2x a week. The one week I don’t nitrates bottomed out due a couple of factors. Prob at zero anywhere from 3-5 days but the ramifications-one acro RTN’ed overnight. My bird’s nest colony bleached in a...

So the other day I got an error for the ato in that the temp component had failed. There was a link in the app that asked for shipping info and the HW serial number. So far they have not asked for payment. Mine is at least 1 yr out of warranty.

Curious to know what a decent alk swing is? Mine generally is .38 currently between high/low

To supporting members only- This is the ppm model - worked last time I checked. No guarantees here.. I can bring it to high tide for talk Sunday if you are going or drop it there or you can pick up Oakland.
