    Very likely if the snail has a bigger shell. This would only depend on who's got the bigger shell. If your hermits are growing it will require a larger shell eventually and if there isn't an uninhabited one laying around and there is a larger inhabited shell, there will likely be a battle royale.

    WYSIWYG SPS Coral Colonies

    If you believe this and expect BAR members to have similar best practices and uphold high standards for taking care of livestock, you shouldn't have a problem with experienced members of BAR getting coral that have landed directly from Indonesia.

    WYSIWYG SPS Coral Colonies

    I would tend to agree with this. If it's all about being ethical and helping to ensure survival of our animals, vendors that sell fish or coral with known pests and diseases that could infect an entire reefer's tank shouldn't be selling those fish or coral. An extended QT is probably needed for...

    DIY Acrylic Mesh Lid

    Looks good. Do you know if if those rods are polycarbonate? If not, I'd be concerned about it warping. A center bar may help with warping and would also help when the mesh starts drooping once it gets older and stretches out a bit.

    Randy’s Flock o' Reef Tanks

    Fish are in there, but surprising after having them for years, they're mostly just shy (except the hawkfish). They're all 5-8 years old that came over when I swapped out the Red Sea 250. Tomini - 6 years Flame Angel - 8 years Mandarin Goby - 7 years Flame Hawkfish - 5 years Leopard Wrasse - 8...

    Randy’s Flock o' Reef Tanks

    Had a buddy ask me last night how my IM75 was looking and was forced to clean it up because it was looking a little ragged. Plus, it's been over six months I think since the last update, so.... Mostly, the tank has been doing well, but I had a pretty big loss for me a couple months back. That...

    DBTC: Red Dragon

    I guess maybe a different kind of flow or maybe he has much more flow than you imagine. Just for those looking for more on the topic. There are papers that indicate it's not just high flow, but also more turbulent flow...

    Flow is likely a big factor in colony density. Higher flow will allow more waste to be pushed away from the coral and also allow more nutrients and oxygen to be provided to the colony when it grows densely.

    Ecotech Versa dosing pump - potentially failing soon?

    This is what Ecotech uses for Versas and Vortechs. A tube is expensive, but will last you a long, long time. You can start with just lubricating the rollers, but if that doesn't work, then you can consider taking it apart. https://a.co/d/0yq7dW3

    Hanna ULR Phosphate Test Reagent - Toxicity

    I shared a video I made a couple years back that shows exactly this as well as Hanna's video. I like to crease the package before pouring as it seems to me to help control the powder better as you pour it into the cuvette. Obviously, I'm careless with the PPE. Don't follow my example on that...
