Shit 160lbs is a 1 person job with a furniture dolly :)

Given the relatively low number of RSVPs, I'm not sure it's worth organizing a semi-formal swap. Maybe a googlesheet with DBTC and some trades makes more sense? How many folks are interested in bringing an ultra coral from those that plan to attend this event? Happy to organize something just...

Why do you think you're struggling with SPS this time around? Congrats BTW :)

I don’t disagree with any of the rants, but the stuff you guys are going to the hospital for is honestly crazy to me!

Tell us more about your husbandry! I'm envious of your PE.

lol, the front part is pale because that’s where it’s growing :) Tissue is thinner there. Looks great to me, be happy it’s growing so well !

i have some little purple and green nems (from you) but I think they are different?

Major tank surgery performed today. Pulled out the big red digi and had to significantly trim back the pacman acro, mainly because I accidentally broke it off. I also got wacked by my mantis shrimp - twice! No broken bones or bruising, but it hurt a bit. Here's the little asshole: Removed...

I’m hoping Santa brings me some pelagic bacteria.

Does Dong talk about that somewhere? The link Will shared above is broken now. I pretty much worship the Dong.

I did yes. no luck Fish sauce?!

When this happens I don't think it's related to feeding- though I share your sentiment generally. I get a feeling it's bacterial. The coral just decides to close up shop and kind of waste away. The giveaway when it starts to happen is that there isn't any PE at night - I know it's really grumpy...

I stopped feeding frozen for a while once the CBB acclimated to freeze dried, it honestly seemed like my corals started to suffer (though this could be for other reasons, of course). I lost my Immortal tort, which I was very sad about. Strangely - it wasn't traditional RTN/STN, but it started...
