It is this time of the year again. Leaving for vacation (Germany) for almost 3 weeks in a couple of weeks. I always find this a very stressful time due to all the planning involved to minimize tank related drama while I am gone. At least this time I can rely on steps from previous years, but...

I am a big fan of all the products from https://octoaquatics.com/ I have most of the items he sells and had no real issues with them. However, today I noticed rust inside the magnet encasing for one of the nori cages I am using. The casing itself had no damage. This is unusual since one of...

Terrible design for a myriad of reasons. Stay away from this.

Great video and moderator. Not sure why I was the first like of the video. Don’t forget to like it. And if there is one takeaway for me is that I have to step up my t-shirt game. And Micheal wins but I am a big turtle fan.

Update on Octo aquatics lid: no warping, no issues. 100% recommend them. Use code ‘humble’ for 10% off.

https://bareefers.org/forum/threads/custom-tank-cover-lids-wrasse-ready-recommendations-and-lessons-learned.36154/ I believe I did not have good things to say about top lids. I would ALWAYS go to Matt from Octo Aquatics first. He is the OG for lids.

Looks like I am missing pink in my tank.

I am using the Eufys. Seems like the same camera with a different name with similar discounts (and no subscription).

I would do it. I was initially not interested until I read that this looks better under whiter lighting.

So, yes, I do not call my tank fully mature, but this is the case for me, inherited from a time I did not know much about proper dipping methods. Believe me, if there was a good treatment method I would have applied it to my tank. Managing the issue is my path of treatment, not eradication...

So, it looks like someone on Reef 2 Reef has them in their tank as a pest and is willing to send them to me. What is an appropriate but simple enough way to ship inverts from Michigan to the bay area 10-20 snails? @clownvan: Will try to take a picture but it is a rather large colony, purple...

Great event. I will be in Germany at this time :(. Please take pictures. And I would be curious whether the new exhibition has already opened.

You mean Ready to Reef? This was launched in Europe around 2022, and in the US last year. This should not be the case (dosage changes). Also, I guess AFR in powder form is cheaper unless they offer Ready to Reef in powder form by now, cannot remember. Both are equally good products and I know...

Not consumption-based, but regular dosing. Just chatted with a few folks who are using Ready to Reef with the AquaWiz and it works well.

I got more details about this. Apparently, the testing powder is not entirely white, but greyish, so you can see the contamination.
