Hello all- I purchased a Bella goby last week from AC. He is a good boi but he is way too efficient for my tank (54 gal DT) and I am afraid he will starve himself soon. It is prob 4-5 in long and needs to be in an established 125+ gallon tank minimum. I have tried to get him out twice to no...

Is this a worm of some sort on my frogspawn? If so -should I be concerned And if I should be concerned -how do I go about this. Thanks

So this SPS coral was a very nice piece. Unfortunately in the midst of going to re-glue to the rock it fell on the floor and splintered. I replanted a few pieces already. Seeing if anyone wants to take this piece. Fairly hardy and could take a piece and then frag for the upcoming frag swap...

Question - Here is a link to a 2 outlet manifold. Supposedly there are CAD files available. Is this something someone could print? DM me if so-and let me know what you would charge or trade. Looking for two of them. Thanks...

So my question of the day-can you carbon dose and have micro algae assuming the nutrients are high enough? The moment I started carbon dosing my sea lettuce just dried up. Carbon dosing has been more effective than sea lettuce for nutrient export but i kinda miss watching all the copepods at...

Been looking for a mini-din 8 plug that I can attach to the apex. I have bought two “mini” ones from Amazon that were not mini and returned. Anyone know where I can find one that has a 3.5mm jack at the other end. TIA

Think a few people had some issues with power yesterday and I hope everyone’s tanks are now a-ok as well as rest of their homes. In terms of my tank-we have solar/battery back up-which is good. However in the transition from grid to battery-there is power loss where everything shuts down and...

So after a thread from @TwinsReef about dosing-I am curious to what people are using for their tanks for CA/ALK/MG I think I got the mainstream mechanisms but if I am omitting something I’ll append accordingly.

I know someone had posted this somewhere but there is a video/tutorial demonstrates how to change the testing time and number of tests for trident. Also anyone that has done this-what is new schedule (number of tests) and have you seen any adverse events such as lack of accuracy? TIA

Have three pieces -medium, slightly smaller, and then smaller still but still a nice size sitting on my substrate. Seems to be pretty durable to flow and PAR as the mother colony is mid level and gets a good amount of flow. Pick up in Oakland. Sizes relative to listing above. Urchins and...

Hello all : Wondering if someone in the Oakland/Berkeley/San Leandro, or alameda has a piece of Red Sea 250 piping no longer in use-want to make sure my plumbing is correct before I swap out their valve with a gate valve. TIA Lawrence

I have a fairly large GSP colony that is about to either become one with the tank wall or one of the rocks -which is, in this case undesired. Definitely pretty neat looking though. It is probably about 12 inch long by 6 wide. Pick up in Oakland soon! Or I can have it appear with your name on...

So awhile back after a couple of lectures by reef nutrition and @Matt_Wandell at HTA hosted by @under_water_ninja I decided to purchase a small mini fridge, put a few holes in it, throw a doser in there and call it a day. Almost. Matt recommended the refrigerator...

Hi all- enclosed is a pic of the “doserator” it is almost complete except I have a small water flow issue. If you look to the left where the water comes out (green tube at end) the pump can push the water up nearly 7 feet and push out the water- However when I replace that green tubing with...

This time the auto feeder. Almost all the fish gone including two blennies, one cardinal, and a mandarin who was prob wiped out by an ammonia spike is my guess. The wrasse survived and one cardinal not looking so hot. Just so irritating..

Hi all- Off-hand -does anyone know if it’s feasible to program the type of wave in a circulation pump connected via 0-10 v? I have the power -10%) -and it turns on/off when feeding happens no issue- But I’d love to be able to make it go inverse to the actual wav pump in operation if possible.

Is it still shark week? Anyway I think epoxy strikes again. This week I had two corals break off that had been previously attached using the “bad epoxy.” Again overflowed the skimmer (now up 2.5 inches on a platform ) -albeit not as bad as last time-still released enough crap into the water...

For those who have had older Red Sea tanks (I think the valves are different on the new G2+) tanks-did you replace out the original valve for a gate valve? I love the Red Sea tank I have except for the original valve. Almost every day I need to muck with it to avoid noise and regulate water...

After a couple days of my zoas and a few other corals not looking so happy -retested nitrates and phosphates. Phosphates at 0.4 -not bad -nitrates -uh -0.3 -this was a few days after testing around ~3. At the same time I see a cyano bloom-where it was centralized on the sand -it has now...

Hi all- Just realized that my wrasse has discovered his taste for escargot and has eaten nearly all of them. Any suggestions to tasty alternatives?
