Very interesting. Any plans or guidance you've seen on changing out the sand every x number of years? I remember a big drawback, which moved the trend away from DSBs, was the potential of getting disturbed and releasing a mass of toxins.

Most gonis were pissed off. The XXX goni that has grown very well for me and have made dozens of frags off of still doesn't extend all the way and there's a patch that died off. Big colony of green tip, also grown from a frag, is nearly white. Other gonis had receding flesh. Bubblegum digi...

I'm currently on this quest as well when my nitrates hit 60 and phosphate 0.9 a couple months ago and my corals started suffering. This hit me out of nowhere because historically my tank has been low nutrients without much filtration, only skimmer. So far in the past 2 months I've added a filter...

Just printed these. Nice space savers!

Do they detach and spread around the tank? Or just encrust from the mother colony? Do they spread on sand? Heh i might be interested in some for the macroalgae tank. I don't have a lot of rock in there and could use some pop of blue.

It's a small shop so not a vast selection, but owner is a good guy and trying to revamp after buying SJ Reef. They're only 5 minutes from me so nice to have if I need frozen food or supplies in a pinch.

Pending Got this printer as a trade for corals a couple years ago and it has served me well. Made tons of reef related prints with it. It's an older model, doesn't have fancy features, but it does basic jobs fine once you dial it in. I upgraded my printer so passing this one along. Pickup in...

Discasoma mushrooms: I have defective candy crush mushrooms, only 1 or 30 will develop green lines. They multiply like crazy, detach, and spread around the tank. Injecting them with kalk only weakens them then I need to suck them out the next day. Tequila sunrises at least die after injecting...

I sacrificed and stripped the wires from a random 12v power adapter I found. You know, the one from the box of miscellaneous cables and power bricks that you don't want to throw away because it miiiight be needed in the future.

Found the video. I did this years ago and it actually fixed one of my two dead 360WE.

If you unplug then re-plug, does it flash for a second then turn off? There's a jump-start fix if that's the case I have an A80 you can borrow. Not as strong but will fit the gooseneck. I'm in Dublin

They're ok for light duty to position small pieces at 90º. Not really any clamping power. If I were to do it again, I'd prep the contact points better and use miter spring clamps to ensure adequate bonding between the two pieces.

Got around to finishing this. Let the first piece settle for a weeks, no sagging, so made the next two panels which required more cuts and joints for the openings. Overall I'm happy with the results and we'll see over time if there's any warping or yellowing. The main goal was to get rid of the...

Yeesh that is pricey considering you paid a premium. I actually just bought a pair of XF350 last week because I needed the flexibility of independent flow direction with the new flow directors. Because of the reviews here and there about them seizing up after the 1-year warranty period, I...

Aperature became the exclusive north american distributor for Maxspect a couple years ago. Maybe BRS can help get the parts
