I always remember the owner at aquatic gallery in suits all the time like Than at Tidal Gardens. I wouldn't dream of getting skimmate on my dress shoes!

I've tried and never succeeded. @tribbitt just has that reefing kung fu with his modified cage here.

Channeling Jake Adams here: there's no such thing as a yellow coris wrasse. There's the yellow wrasse AKA Halichoeres chrysus: and the yellow and purple wrasse Halichoeres leucoxanthus: The main difference is the white belly and the fact they live in the Indian Ocean. Both pictures are...

FWIW there's tons of different flatworm species so biological control might only work for some. I didn't have any luck against either the noxious red planaria type (that doesn't go into corals) and euphyllia specific flatworms with these fish: Spotted mandarin Yellow wrasse Pink streak wrasse...

Yeah 3xMP40. Flow has been restricted since I've been breaking in new wet sides, but they run on the wave engine during the day in a gyre up to 55% currently, but will scale up to 75% once fully broken in. They also got pretty clogged up until I cleaned them last night so I'll see if that helps...

Welcome to the club! @Slingfox gave you great guidance you come over here and @robert4025 has an incredible store to get your gear and animals from. You can't go wrong there. If you don't have an RODI system yet, they have both fresh and salt water you can fill up jugs with I'm the meantime...

Started ammonium bicarb dosing after seeing this snotty algae growing (didn't act like dinos, but couldn't confirm under a scope.) photo from Aug 10th: They didn't disappear at night or break loose easily (more like a gelatin consistency). Hard to vacuum too since it gelled up the sand. At...

Maybe wiggle/reposition/clean the sensors too. I've seen them fluctuate especially if they're not angled perpendicular to flow. Although they do look right from what I can see for the last two.

Have you noticed what their preferred diet is in your tank? Found this site with info but nothing recent much. https://www.seaslugforum.net/find/scutus

Just heard the sad news:

Peppermints eat berghia too in my experience, they must taste like aiptasia.

This is a good point why they say to definitely test daily.

We handed out a ton of these at the CFM and they were very popular (thanks @Srt4eric for printing). As @ReyDeFarts said there's a trick to opening these packages. Tap the corner of the side farthest away from the tear away sides to get the powder into the bottom of the sachet. Tear away the two...

Me too, tank is going well

Tank looks insane!
