Late post: Had a blast at the BAR swap. Wish I came a little earlier/stayed a little later to hit up Neptunes, but wife wasn’t too amused. At least she picked out something she liked from the free table lol. Thank you everyone that brought corals to the swap! And special shout out to @boun11...

Don't forget clock change for daylight savings everyone!

I ended up getting Red Sea foundation A and B today. Figured since Ca was on the low side, I should dose both to bring them to the desired level.

5 gallon water changed over the past weekend, removed GFO, and tested water yesterday. Salinity: 1.025 Alk: 4.9 Ca: 327 Mg: 1384 Phos: 0.3 Nitrate: 6 Interesting that my alk keeps dropping. Currently not dosing anything and relying only on water changes. Need to start looking into dosing

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and @boun11 and @Alexander1312 for the offers! I’d be glad to accept and really appreciate the kindness! Really grateful for the generosity and supportive spirit of the BAR community! For anyone on the fence about become a supporting member, this is a...

Alright, giving this another go! Started the hobby back around 2004/05 when LEDs were still being developed. Went to college and put the hobby on a pause. Fast forward to 2016, after college, and got the itch again and attended my first BAR swap at Chabot college. Through the years, many ups...

GONE I have a 24x24x12 tank up for grabs before it gets trashed on 8/21. drilled for plumbing but I sealed it with thick glass. Corners will need to be resealed. Glass is scratched. Hasn’t seen water in over 10 years. Pick up in Hayward

Hey BAR, As the title suggests, I have two Mexican turbo snails that I'm paying forward. (https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/571/?pcatid=571) Originally purchased three to take care of red turf algae which they demolished. Now they're just bulldozing my frags around. They’re around 1-1.5”...

I run carbon all the time. Probably need a refresh and increase the amount. I’ll give that a try. Funny thing is now that there is a physical barrier between the RBTA and GBTA, the RBTA are trying to move towards the GBTA. @wazzupmac PM’d you

@wazzupmac do you have a backup plan in the case that the GBTA and RBTA cannot be house together? I only ask so that you won’t be in the same position I am. I’m currently keeping the GBTA inside a separate container inside the nem box so the RBTA and GBTA don’t touch. I also have a 29g...

I’m not sure either. I tried separating the GBTA in its own cup inside the nem box but it insisted on crawling out and mingling with the others. Have been reading conflicting information all over. Guess it’s hit or miss

Hello BAR, Got this green BTA from the most recent BAR swap from @Vincerama2 . It looks like it may be interfering with my RBTAs as they are in the same nem box and they have shrunk a bit. Supporting members only. Free or trade for zoas or chalice.
