I believe Oregon Tort remains an ultra. The vote is 6-2 in favor.

I agree that this looks like a bigger job than it first seems. Disassembly, sandblasting to remove the coating, welding, re-coating, reassembly, etc. Is that just a bump stop, of sorts, to stop the cable “wheel” from turning too far? i wonder whether the machine can function safely without it...

Apologies for the photos. I was holding a flashlight and he is teeny tiny. Googled but resulting images are conflicting.

Welcome. Best of luck with the current situation. You can certainly keep corals and fish alive and healthy with the right brute setup. If you have any more specific questions let us know.

Sounds good. You guys have convinced me to give it another go naturally, which is my preference anyways. I’ll double my feeding of Mysis to try and bring up the nitrates, and stay on top of the manual removal. Can’t do much about increasing flow but I never had an issue for 2 years prior, so...

My tank runs regularly at 0.08-0.1 Phosphates, and 0 Nitrates. Corals are healthy and all looks good. But, in my Icarian quest for brighter colors I started dosing NeoNitro a few months ago. This jump started some Cyano which I’ve been dealing with ever since. No natural remedies have worked...

Are you cleaning that frag rack regularly or is it brand new? And is it one you would reccomend? Looks nicely spaced for sps.

Fortunately not. Of the 11 we got last time, most of them are still alive, and a few look to be thriving. I only saw one report of total loss. Updates are on the previous sale thread.

Both mine and the one I held for Eric STN’d from the bottom after a few weeks. I was able to frag both and they have been fine for the most part. I’ve only lost one or two of the frags from those we snipped off to trade in the parking lot lol.

No, sorry. I just meant ones with clearly discernable longer polyps. Not sure if they have specific naming conventions. Interested: Vs. Not Interested:
