I have had great experience with Dr. Reef’s—-particularly their customer service. Health wise the specimens were great. Dr. Reef’s and High Tide Aquatics have been bulletproof for me thus far. I do buy fish from other places but those go through 4+ week quarantine which I find somewhat...

Agreed. Putting fish through quarantine is super easy. I have a 10 gallon from Petco which I use to quarantine. The QT provides a chance for new fish to fatten up before they go into the main tank. We are also lucky to have High Tide Aquatics in the area. Half my fish come from there.

If you haven’t got hand on a copper test yet you can borrow my Hanna checker. I am in Saratoga. Note that CopperPower dosage on the bottle is approximately 10% too conservative so I always dose a little higher to ensure I get at close to 2.5 ppm as possible (must ensure level does not drop...

I donated this one at one of last year’s frag swaps. This one is called Viviid Kaleidoscope, and is no longer sold online anywhere In my opinion this looks nicer than UC Amazeballz and UC Glitter Gobi which are more widely known and which I also have.

You can message seller and they will likely sell for less than the 10 minimum listed. They will also provide a quote for shipping. I have bought a bunch of stuff from Alibaba and never had to pay any customs charges.

If I didn’t already have two tangs this would be super tempting!

If you don’t want something permanent why not get something like the Green Killing Machine: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/green-killing-machine-internal-uv-sterilizer-with-power-head-1237039 The above is 24W and has a pump included. I have had two permanent UV sterilizers...

Awesome video! I didn’t know they were that small. I bit the bullet and just bought one of those Flipper Magnifiers that hang on the glass. I figure the magnifier will be useful generally(or so I hope!). Yes, the flatworms I saw I assumed may be from my euphillia since the size I saw was...

Fed a small amount of the fenbendazole flakes today at around noon. I was looking at the tanks with lights out just now and saw what looks like two flatworms floating around the water column. I was not sure I had flatworms since I dip everything but this seems to confirm their presence.

I have three wrasse (leopard, adorned, and a flasher). I have never seen them make any moves against my snails including the small army of small bumblebee snails I have in the tank.

Yeah, I have been thinking about doing so. I really should pull out some rockwork and look at the SPS under my magnifying glass. Have had the unfortunate experience of pulling out rocks a bunch of times :( I am going to catch and house my Flame Angel for a month and see if polyp extension...

These Angel’s Plus deworming flakes were also just recommended in another reefing video at the 41 minute mark. Incredible tank:

Yes, four times pellets on an auto feeder, one time frozen at night, and I also usually put in few square inches of nori in the morning (not doing so now since I want tangs to focus on the rockwork for a few weeks). I have anthias so it is recommended to feed them multiple times a day. My tank...

I will post my results if I try the regime. The challenge I have is I recently did a major tank reset where I reduced my coral load by 75% (switching to SPS dominant tank now) so I don’t expect to see much of an effect either way. The issue I am trying to diagnose currently is my SPS coral...

I will admit that I actually don’t know what most people do but when I started the hobby I fed way too much which resulted in my tank showing phosphates levels above 1.0 for months on end and an explosion of vermitid snails. I literally had thousands of vermitids in my display tank. They...
