Yes own thing that is interesting is MR sells their 20kg salt in the form of two 10kg bags in one box. I believe this is the same form factor as Two Little Fishes salt so I assume they are using a common supplier. For now I am only planning to test out the MR 4-part dosing system. There are...

Yeah, there is a very long thread on Reef2Reef on fenben usage to eliminate BSP. It seems like the pharma pill version ground up and dosed to the tank is very potent. The fish flakes version is almost certainly less potent but it seems to be able to eliminate BSP at least temporarily. It is...

Did you have issues using the product they supplied?

I For ModernReef I believe tests will be shipped to their warehouse in Florida which will then aggregate samples and ship to Germany. This is a similar setup to the other ICP labs running out of the EU. Agreed Modern Reef has developed a solid reputation in a short period of time. I have...

It is unclear whether the ICPs from Modern Reef include shipping. A poster on Reef2Reef says it does but I couldn’t find that in the description anywhere. For FaunaMarine ICP, that also does not include shipping. You don’t have to go to the post office though: you can either 1) print a label...

This is an ICP-OES test. Not the same as the ICP tests which include analysis run on a mass spec.

Injst The ATI ICP-MS test is $64.95. I know that for a fact since I just bought a set of three tests last week! https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/ati-icp-ms-premium-water-analysis-ati.html?queryID=66c2f115e25d91914e22ce68c6f3fe2f&objectID=19742&indexName=brs_prod_m2_default_products

Modern Reef will launch in the US soon. They just activated their storefront and it looks like they will sell the cheapest ICP OES-MS on the market. I wish they posted this last week since I purchased a set of ICP tests last week for around triple the price! https://www.modernreefusa.com/shop/

I used fenben infused fish flakes every few days for a month and it didn’t kill anything other than a Green Star Polyp colony which retracted shortly after the very first dose and never recovered even after being moved to a separate tank within 24 hours. I wasn’t trying to kill BSP (I don’t...

Agreed with the suggestions above that for a tank that size, complete reset or something similar is likely least painless route. I would rank that as relatively low effort and better than continually dealing with uglies and pests for weeks on end.

Looks great! I will at some point in the next few months make a purchase (after I do a cycle of Interceptor on tank). I will post pics to the forum.

Did you manage to get the turf algae under control? I had that kind of turf algae once and it was a huge pain.

20 years ago before Amazon and online shopping took over the electronics market I stood in line after Thanksgiving dinner for a few hours to buy a large screen TV at BestBuy. I only did that once but it was a very memorable and fun time since it was like a subdued party waiting along with my...

It is a good deal for those who get the deal though :) One deal I messed up on was BRS had a sale on Nyos Salt + ATI ICP test for 50% off last week. I hesitated and within a few hours the deal was sold out. I would have otherwise bought 5 buckets + ICP at a massive discount. The fact that...

Wow there are are great deals here. Too bad I am in SoCal for the week. I assume there won’t be much left when I get back. The Blochy Anthia sale is very attractive. My only hesitation is whether my Bimacs will fight with the Blochy. If so I would likely need to rehome.

Agreed. The TDO pellets in my auto feeder loses its bright orange coloring over time. I have since reduced the amount out into the auto feeder in hopes it is more tasty for the fish. The rest of the TDO is in a sealed container in the fridge.

Check out BrineShrimpDirect. They sell 10-15 pound buckets. I am sure they could sell you larger if you reached out to them directly. https://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/pellets-and-wafers-sinking-and-floating/

Thanks for the heads up. I picked one of these up! Lowest price I have seen.

Glad to hear you plan to up your QT game! I currently medicated QT all my fish for at least a month. For coral I am pretty selective with what I add. When I do add the coral sits on a frag rack for at least a month and I dip in KCl once a week (dip I use for both softies and SPS). I don’t...

Impressive!
