Interesting topic. The only non-reef taxed product I buy at the moment is sulfamic acid.

Could this be related to the widespread use of Kalkwasser, I wonder?

Since when do I agree with the majority? Come on, man. Keep up. Altering people and their circumstances gives me facebook vibes. Not a fan.

Sad that we are sending fake AI stuff around. It could have been funny, though.

Correct. And I was not advocating for doing that, I was only pointing out what happened when I did - it was recommended to do by the seller: https://www.korallen-zucht.de/out/pictures/wysiwigpro/korallenzucht_guide_easy_reefing_engl.pdf - activated carbon. And I am glad I did, as it would not...

That is very interesting. I had shared the link above of the carbon ‘brand’ / bulk ‘premium’ product from premium aquatics, who I normally like quite a bit. I reached out to them today for comments about this.

Did you ever pour hot water over yours?

That's how it smelled, in my opinion. This was the carbon btw that folks should not add into their tank - https://premiumaquatics.com/collections/quick-order/products/premium-aquatics-bulk-deluxe-granular-carbon-pound?_pos=3&_sid=5dbbbd915&_ss=r&variant=47329510818034 And I would recommend to...

(corrected/photos previously uploaded in the wrong order) I normally pour hot RODI water over the carbon a few times before I put it into my tank, to remove the finer particles. I always use the same type of carbon for this - left picture. Today, I did the same with another carbon product...

Does anyone use a longer hose for the bucket head and can recommend one? It looks like the hose size is 1-1/4 inch so the below should fit? https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-1-1-4-in-VT2534-Premium-Car-Cleaning-Kit-Accessory-Shop-Vacuum-Attachments-for-RIDGID-Wet-Dry-Vacs-VT2534/100638355

This guy is growing too much. I have now several frag pieces from this and no more space in the frag tank to let them attach to rocks/plugs etc. Let me know if you want one. BOD and Supporting Members only.

The polyps are white, correct?

Fragging is not killing :)? But polyp extension for this coral is an early indicator for missing traces, earlier than many others apparently.

That would be great. And a great test to see if it changes color in my tank.
