Pros: Water changes are super easy Cons: A lot of nuisance algae has to be removed by hand I have a 7.5 gal, which is a cubic foot. Mine is a little overbuilt with a skimmer, ATO, and oversized lighting. The super small tank has been really good to me. My tank journal is way out of date...

I was very graciously gifted this frag from fellow member @divewsharks in February. It started to STN (more like ultra slow) at the tips in mid April. I moved it into a very high light, high flow area, but it's not working. It looks like a couple other tips are starting to melt. I'm out of tools...

Yes, I would love that if that's still on offer. I have twin 2 year olds and it's really hard to get to the south bay from Oakland. I feel like the PAR meter likes to lurk in the south bay.

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...
