I have good experience with peroxide for spot treatment. Take patient as you can only work on a small section at a time

I have 2 in my 65g all in one

A week weeks ago some of my corals get agitated. Trying to figure out what happened , I tried to narrow down what changed. So happen that I swap out the trace elements supplements from Redsea to Brightwell . Well, since ATI ICP test both saltwater and RO , I add a few mm of the trace elements...

Pocillopora - it just sprout everywhere. Can’t kill it fast enough

You need ICP test to guide you with trace elements. My approach is dosing 1/2 recommended trace elements ( like seachem reef trace) , and adjust based on next ICP test. I don’t pay for the test often, maybe twice a year.

Mine is at 400++ and it’s doing very well. More yellow than green

Didn’t realize AF lacks Flouride. I was wondering why my flouride is low . Good to know.

I have gone through at least 6 200g box of the aqua forest salt. Good enough for me. I don’t test new saltwater to check consistency.

Sicce sdx. I have good experience with this. Can tolerate small slack in maintenance. Have build in temp sensor ( as backup ) . Just a hair under $299 list price. I had 3 Nero. All failed in less than 2 years. Never again,

yeah, looks good. where do you source the parts? How do you mount the side wood panel?

Spongodes . I have a large colony.

I’m afraid of aggressive dip as this is a mariculture acro , which I assume is more sensitive. I’ll just monitor it for now. The coral is not happy getting dip and poke ! There are some section that’s have no flesh, but it’s not on the expose side , so I suspect it’s just shading. Hopefully

I tried to pull him out but failed. Almost got him. Now he is hiding deep inside and I don’t see him anymore . Sucks

Not easy to remove this little crab. I dip in coral Rx , not sure it will do anything. It hide inside the coral really well. Other option is to cut up the colony to get to the crab. I’ll monitor it for the time being Any suggestions?

Pretty cute but should I be worried?
