I got some small pieces in Hayward if you can't find any in the South bay

I already fell victim. Even paid more for a frag that was already on sale because I wanted to outbid a sniper bidder out of spite..lol..POTOs second day of sales were on reefnbid. I'll be single too! Lol She's already wondering why I'm bringing cup of noodles for lunch now

Ive come to realize, and are beginning to accept, that I have very little self control of my coral purchasing impulses..haha

FedEx came today bearing gifts. The items picked up from POTO's live sale did not disappoint..I planned on picking up only two: Kingdom Hearts & Bali Shortcake, then got a little carried away.. Don't know if its obvious I was targeting primarily warmer colors, but they'll mix in with the rest...

Same people who have 20 post...15 requesting frags in dbtc and 5 in PIF or BST. Brings brown palys to the frag swap at ASAP and scoops the acans and acros.. It's inevitable...every community has them. Sadly we've had those types for years...yet here we are, still around. One of the longest...

Vivid is a cool spot to visit. It's about 45 min to an hour away in canoga park depending on what time you leave Pasadena. Nice selection if you have a specific piece in mind, and the staff there are cool. I came in near closing and they still let me browse for another 30 min while we talked...

Yea..lesson learned for me. I sent off the ATI one the day after my RTN incident, so 8/27. Results came back 9/3, sooner than I anticipated. I want to trust my Hannah but it can be inconsistent at times depending on the age of the reagents. All with in date, but will throw me different #s...

ICP results came in from ATI today. It was my first time using ATI's kit, mostly because I liked how they included a vial to test RO water, NO3, and KH. Glad to see my RO water is spot on, but the results of the test caught me off guard. A week and a half prior I had submitted a triton ICP...

Panta Rhei is coming out with a surge device that looks interesting

Looking good!! Makes me wish I had your dimensions lol

Well..I knew it had to happen one day..I lost my first piece. One of the quickest RTN I've experienced...and it had to be with princess peach. Bummed..I really liked this piece. I usually carry the baby in front of the tank and rock back and fourth to calm him down and get him sleepy..(also...

You'll be lucky if you can get ahold of anyone at Fiji Cube. My overflow holes were drilled crooked and bulkheads warped. Even after ordering 3 replacement sets, 2 of the 3 came warped. The filter roll replacement they sell for their own filter rollers doesn't fit. After ordering something from...

With all the recent innovations in our hobby, what do they believe is the future of reefing 10-15 years from now?

Never used the bashed one. But I know with Beckett style skimmer like MRC and deltec you gotta stay on maintenance more frequently to keep a consistent skimmate. It may be easier now if you have a DC pump that you can adjust on the fly. Pros: they rarely overflow when tuned right and can be ran...

I'm tellin you Alex..Tu's like the reefing genie....ask and you shall recieve..lol
