Maaaaaannnn because of all the hype around here with the Tropic Marin hydrometer last year, I bought one, thinking maybe my Milwaukee digital refractometer was off and the cause of my recent woes. Now I gotta get a veegee?? :p

This popped up on my suggested feed. Super cheap if u find yourself in in the Santa cruz area, or convince the seller to ship. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/939311862016434/

The Kamoer X1 Pro or X1 Pro T? I've been using the X1 Pro T at 5000+ml a day for 4 years with the occasional tubing change. You can upgrade to the Kamoer FX-STP for something beefier.

Curious as to what about him makes it seem more about status than the hobby? I only see the social media side of things so have a different perspective. I see him as a hobbyist that is also very wealthy and has means beyond the average person, rather than a rich guy who wants a fancy fish tank...

I have the large ones with 23mg of milbemycin oxime. It's the tasty chewable kind, not the pure fill form, but I haven't had any ill effects using it. PM me

White floating balls look like roe. Either herring roe from brine shrimp direct or Reef Nutrition R.O.E

Does vintage 2009 count? I inherited these Grado HF2 from my brother who's into hifi. Tube amps and all. Sometimes I regret using them because everything not hifi sounds bad now :(

Love it! How did you do the color gradient? Did you slowly mix the color when painting the next block? On my list of things to do is replicate this art piece by Chris Wood using using irdescent acrylic instead of dichroic glass. I can't afford the $12,000+ for the real one :X

Printed out some covers. After nutrient issues getting sorted I may try new fish again

Ok Barcode, here's an update. Had a rough time for a bit but is now taking off.

Since you guys don't believe me :p Large tricolor stag. Fading for months and now RTNing. I'm thinking of putting some encrusting montis on the skeleton to cover it up, might look cool and be isolated to the branches. I'm on the hunt for this bright yellow with blue/purple polyp encrusting...

I only transferred a couple quarts of sand because most of it was pretty mucky. Just enough to seed bacteria and micro organisms. Didn't want to nitrate bomb the system with too much. I've been thinking about a solution to use the existing screen lid as a backstop. Either a bracket on the back...

3 year update. Unfortunately since the last update tank its been a lot of up and down swings, moreso down. With life, very busy at work, and prioritizing family, the tank has taken a back seat and it shows despite how the pictures may look. I can blame it on a multitude of things but really it's...

They turned grey and slowly faded away over almost a year. Tbh I wasn't super proactive about trying to find a cure, just keeping my parameters stable. If I were to see it again I'd try antibiotics There's a long discussion on r2r but doesn't seem like there was an answer...

I had similar issues years ago but never figured out the reason or cure. I've seen this condition referred to as neoplasia or tulip polyp syndrome. Unfortunately most of the acros affected didn't make it but I was able to save frags off of them where some grew back into colonies. Here's one of...
