I haven’t taken any photos of the tank for a long time, here is the last vid from last year:

The end of an era! I took down my tank last night. Basically I let the acros overgrow and fuse, and they got to the point that I could not trim them without a hammer. I never had many algae grazing fish so once the corals covered everything, snails and urchins could not reach the reef top and a...

Hmm maybe I’ll try carving it out. I’m afraid to break the old plastic grate.

A lil’ bit of everything - coralline, algaes… I can’t seem to remove it with a stiff brush anymore.

I haven’t updated in a while. Hope everyone is doing well! The Last Chromis is still kicking around. The Kessil AP700s still work. They never fixed the software though. I got rid of the hair algae by accidentally introducing a filament algae (like a super-fine long chaeto) that came with some...

Yay for removing star polyps and doing it the sensible way by dumping the rock (instead of wasting time scraping it away only for it to come back). Echoing what others said you have plenty of sand to support things without the rock, but do a 50% water change and siphon the sand really well to...

Make sure to use the insta-set with lots of ventilation and rinse it off frags well before putting frags in your tank. I stopped using the sprayer and use a small pipette to put a drop or two where I need it.

Can anyone explain that something besides infection or defect is causing the bounce in “bounce zoas”?

They sent a corrected bill (not itemized like yours though) Saturday, and I paid, but have not seen any next steps (like a shipped notice).

I just got this with a message that I needed to pay it within 9 days for my Trident to ship back. It looks like you got an actual itemized bill. I'm hoping to hear back with an explanation why it's not $145+tax although the two Tridents I sent in were tune-up cases - one had a leaky hose (as I...

So you got a bill for the send-and-repair service you sent around 3/20?I finally got a bill yesterday for my send and repair that arrived there 3/5 but it was for $187 and they have not replied yet to explain why it’s not $145 (or $145+tax) so I can’t get it sent back yet. How much did they...

I'm going to stay away from Trident repairs! I've repaired two EB8xxs no issues, but i think I would break my Trident if I tried to repair it (because I might throw it on the floor in frustration). I have to admit I missed my Trident - I was in the middle of switching Ca additives when my...

That’s interesting… I wonder how they hold up to urchins and bristletooth fish.

Thank you! Upgrade? Maybe when this last chromis finally kicks and I’d just have the yellow tang and 2 clowns left to move…
