I have 5 corals which I have no idea what they are. I think one of them is a tyree pink lemonade because i vaguely recall buying it. I should really keep better records and will going forward. I've also pinged the seller for help. But maybe you guys can point me in the right direction.

maybe theres a higher concentration of food in that area? I'm no expert but when I had RBA they went everywhere and when they are stressed they split in half.

thats the smaller unit. you’ll want a bigger one for higher bioload. the only problem with these is they get clogged. so dont gravity feed it. make sure its plumbed to the return pump and then just regulate the output at 1-2 drops a second. you do need to keep an eye on it every once in a...

mine came with the koralin. bulkreefsupply use to have it. i see it here media

Sandbeds are a great way of reducing nitrates but it also develops a layer of sulfur after a while. Just look up old tank syndrome. I'm using a Koralin denitrator to bring my nitrates from over 100 to under 20. Not sure i'll get below 1 ever with a denitrator alone.

A bit far for me but I'll be there. I've got a bunch of frags to clear out of my tank.

Not sure if its earthquake related but I found a leak today. Its a small one. I have a pvc pipe that connects my main tank to my frag tank and it developed a leak between the o-rings at the union that connects the 2 tanks. It must have been a combination of the oring about the fail or the...

I'm using a denitrator from koralin. https://www.korallin.us/s1501eng.html. Even with the denitrator my nitrates is not close to zero. Its not super low either. Right now I wouldn't change anything in your tank. If you have slow STN in your sps then I would turn down your lights a little until...

I've been in your situation and your looking at the wrong parameters. First your ph is swings over time. but even with a ph of 8.0 its low. Corals have an easier time when pH are higher (8.1 at nite to 8.4 when the lights are on.) Your po4 are high but not too bad. Heck my po4 are 0.3-0.5...

thanks for the offer. I got my pump back online in 1hr. It was just calcium buildup and all I needed was citric acid to dissolve it. Plus the pump is a skimmer pump so its custom to the skimmer. I love royal exclusiv though, it threw an error and shut down the pump before damage occured...

I just wanted to post some observations the last week and I didn't really realize how much difference CO2 makes to the pH in the tank. A little background, I plumbed the skimmer intake to the outside of the house a while ago and the pH in my tank has never dipped below 8.1 and reaches a peak of...

i've got a peel 3d scanner. where you located?

Don't want to be the spoiler but how does insurance work for something like this? Or theft? Hate to say it most people are pretty honest. But there is that 1 percent someone will fake an injury or pocket something.

stupid sun fish!! My kids wasted 1hour of my fishing time at the farallon island because they saw a school of baby sun fish at the surface and wanted to catch one ( we didn't have a net because they broke it trying to catch a sun fish.) Atleast it was entertaining watching them try to use a...

I have the F5 on my acrylic tank. My tank is approx 18mm or little under 3/4". It works pretty well but sometimes I wish I got the F6. I can scrub my tank with one hand using this. I believe my tank was similiar to yours where it got so bad that I couldn't see thru it anymore. I started...
