I havent harvested yet, but I do want to very soon. Was thinking about making a backup bucket as well

Im doing tigs. I’m surprised you are having trouble, maybe I just have beginner’s luck or something :) . Literally just been a set it and forget it type deal, I take a peak in the bucket and add some more water every few days

Getting there, slowly but surely! Down to .2 phos, still an overload of algae, but less than before. Tons of pods, tons of snail, bunch of new (snail?) eggs on the glass, however, noticed I started getting a decent red planaria population :( . Siphoning them out with water changes, flatworm exit...

Just wanted to throw in my 2¢, i worked for a couple dudes years ago who started their own solar company, but I only worked for them for a short period of time. I think having solar is a great idea, but you should definitely look to own your own system, not lease. We always tried to create...

Yes, outside, mostly shade but some some sun, no smell as far as I’m aware. Wish I would have put mesh over the top, small amounts of plant matter got blown in from the wind. Really surprised by how hardy they are, will probably bring them inside on the +100 degree days

This thread encouraged me to start a bucket! 5G bucket, got a new dry rock for it, tossed in some rubble I had from my tank, filled it up to maybe 3g or so, left the salinity a bit lower than my tank in case of too much evap, tossed in a banana peel for about 2 weeks, 1 week in water was...

It will probably help that they all came from the same clutch too

Was just a suggestion for the future

Its been really cool watching this project from start until now!

And a tip for the future, you can use your existing sand/rock to start another tank now, but if you wanted to start completely from scratch, I like to get the API regular saltwater kit, since it can test for ammonia/nitrite/nitrate, and dose pure ammonia without any additives to an inhabit-less...

Hey, welcome to the club! Just finished up reading your tank journal. I feel like you rushed things a bit too fast possibly, you cycled the tank, which is good, and used live rock and live sand, which is really good, but you said after adding inhabitants, that you were reading nitrite on your...

Had no Idea how easy they are to culture! I’ll have to give it a shot

Pulled out 2 and a half softball sized amounts of GHA yesterday lmao. Phosphates down to .37 last night, probably lower today. Couple trochus died the other day after I changed my aluminum oxide, not sure if it was the aluminum, swing in phosphate, or swing of something else pulled by the...

Just throwing a suggestion out here, my dad has a good chunk of land in the brentwood area, good amount of dirt parking, large concrete patio, the event would be held outside. Would need to bring chairs/tables, my brother has a sound system we could use. I dont think he would mind, especially...

Been a while since I updated! Bought a couple frag racks to have some nice consistent space for frags. My royal gramma just disappeared one day which sucked, pretty sure it died because I started to get a ton of algae growth, assuming from the immediate boost in nitrates combined with my...
