Wow very impressive. Yes, definitely. I'll PM you.

Poor guy got beat up by a neighboring favia. I wasn't sure if it was going to pull through, but it seems to have stabilized and started growing again. I'm not patient enough to let it get going again in my tiny tank. Would love to trade for some frogspawn. Nice color. Splatter type. In downtown...

Is it possible to have too much flow for a Rainford Goby? I picked one up last week from High Tide Aquatics but it doesn't seem able to handle the flow in my tank. It comes right out when the powerhead is off, but really gets pushed around when it's on. Eventually, it settles in a still area...

That's so funny. I totally remember your comment. "I like your style" or something like that. It was the exact moment when the insanity broke and I switched from, "We'll just have a look around" to "You need to start scooping these dream pieces." $40 each! I couldn't believe it. I got the SC...

Foolishly went to meet @divewsharks for some very generous and nice acro frags without fully realizing what the CFM was. Big mistake. I expected some nice things but the prices seemed insane. It was nice meeting everyone at the BARS table. My daughter was pretty into the donut holes. (I had a...

Something attacked my leptoseris overnight. I think it's some sort of sponge or other parasite that lives on the montiora spongedes and comes out at night. My understanding is that monti's won't fight unless they're actually touching. Any ideas what it is or what damaged the lepto? I'm in a...

Turns out I didn't submit it because it asked for the recipient's phone number. Here's what it says when I do a search: QR code worked. Sent payment for 1 ticket. No surprise it turns out I'm the one that can't spell. I was referring to @bayareareef, not reefers

Seems like a small typo in the Venmo name. It's @bayareareefer singular, not @bayareareefers Just sent for 1 ticket.

I hadn't planned on CFM, but I might if I had a reason to go... I'll pm you.

This seems like the way. My space is incredibly limited, which is why I framed the question the way that I did. I don't really have the space but it feels like if you want to get into the acro game, you need to have started a year ago. Thinking I will pick up both (along with a tricolor valida...

What red tabling acropora do you like? If there can only be one, what would it be? I'm close to pulling the trigger on a buy from battlecorals. Options include: red planet or bc mutha ship. Also strongly considering a PC rainbow. Bonus points for hardy. That has me leaning towards pc rainbow or...

Does anyone use tap water in SF or Oakland for their aquarium? I'm in Oakland. My TDS meter says it's about 30 ppm. Is that good enough to make salt water and top off? The modern trend seems to prioritize stability above all else. If the tap's always the same, maybe it could work. You'd have to...

They definitely go for anacropora. FWIW they did not go for my bubblegum digitata. Just the anacropora and monti cap. I had them on the glass months before they metastasized into a problem, fyi. That said, definitely take prompt action. They are a difficult enemy. It took about 6 weeks to...

November 11, 2024 Alkalinity Alkalinity has been at levels that would give most reefers serious heartburn. It’s probably been low for a long time. Low meaning like as high as 5 down to 3.8 or so. I got some ESV 2-part and am slowly trying to raise it. 2.5ml is the smallest mark on the cup...

October 7, 2024 The tank survived its most serious heatwave. Turns out it's not very hard to cool a small tank. The temp was over 85 by the time I intervened. It was in the low 80s for two or three days.
