    Frags from the Swap Pix

    Looking at your Chicago Sunburst, I am very tempted to get an Anemone too…if their behavior was just more predictable… To the RBTAs defense, they are also pretty, but since they seem to reproduce so quickly, are less appreciated :).

    RSVP by 4/24 for the 4/26 SUNDAY frag swap in Newark

    Saw @SupraSaltyReefer live on Facebook [now taken down?], which was great as it gave a better sense of how it was being there than pictures. Big miss not being there :(.

    RSVP by 4/24 for the 4/26 SUNDAY frag swap in Newark

    Looking forward to seeing the pictures from inside. Looks like a great facility.

    Algae or BJD?

    With higher PAR, there is more algae growth on the glass as Mike said. I have three large urchins and a massive snail and still have the algae on the glass after two days with around 500 PAR. Determine how much PAR you have and need and live with the consequences :).

    DBTC: Seeded Polyp Lab Genesis Rock

    If this is replicable, I am starting to get interested :). I cannot imagine the clams are doing the heavy lifting, but they will probably contribute. I would love to see my nitrates bottoming out.

    Discosoma Mushrooms - nice looking but still to be avoided?

    I learned this the hard way with sunset monties. And some other stuff.

    Alex’s IM 150 EXT

    ICP Testing [Trip to Germany] I dual-purposed the rather unpleasant occasion, which required me to fly to Germany at very short notice last Tuesday (and which makes me miss the long-awaited frag swap on Sunday), and took ICP water samples with me for both the IM 150 and the Nano tank and...

    How to properly set up a stock tank?

    That was my thinking too. And share on social media haha.

    Check out what my neighbor has. Crazy.

    There are also much more EVs available these days, and Tesla appears now as plain vanilla choice. I drove a BYD as a rental car in Germany last month, and was not too impressed with the quality and the driving experience - specifically on the autobahn (I drive fast). Not a fan of BYD or...

    BAR and all things social media

    While I share some of the concerns in relation to social media, it is potentially an effective and efficient way to market our club. Thank you Tu for managing all of this now. Europe uses WhatsApp a lot for serious reef talk. Not FB or other SM, or even forums. I still find these forums that...

    How to properly set up a stock tank?

    Good point. Temporary holding tank for a mixed reef, both fish and corals.

    How to properly set up a stock tank?

    I bought this 150-gallon stock tank, and it arrived today. To me, this is an emergency tool only, but I would like to be ready before I need it. Now the question is, how do these need to be setup properly to work in case of an emergency? How should lights, skimmer, flow, heater etc be setup...

    Check out what my neighbor has. Crazy.

    Looks interesting. No chance against Waymo though. The data they have collected by now makes it hard for anyone to follow, even Tesla - which is still not able to provide a reliable self-driving feature after all this time. But it is good to have competition. I am sure Uber will go with Waymo...

    Dosing 2-part During the Photoperiod vs Evenly Over the Course of the Day

    Not an issue as any (!) part of it can be replaced easily and rather cheaply.
