I haven’t used hydrogen perioxide or iodine when “carpet bombing” a tank. I called it carpet bombing, because it really should be a last resort. I did 7 days of cipro, followed by 5 days of erythromycin. Definitely turn off UV. Technically, cipro is degrades in light, but I’m not sure how...

https://www.shopmedvet.com/product/soda-lime-5-gallon-JOR553B I use Jorvet and order from the above. You can usually get 10% off if you create an account and leave it in your cart long enough for them to send you a coupon to “convince” you to buy it.

I have nothing to add to the conversation, but just a data point. First gen Red Sea Reefer 250. I had it running for 4-5 years and I know the person I sold it to still has it running as well. So that puts it at 6-7 years old. One thing I will say being that I have sold and re-sold a number of...

If you are actually dealing with a bacterial infection, it could be from anything wet. Don’t think it’s limited to be passed by other euphyllia only. Any other coral is a potential a source. Fish and inverts as well, though it may not be as likely.

You’d be surprised how much light corals can handle. A number of people cook acros in 700 par. I’ve had BTAs and torches in 350-400 par. I wouldn’t start a coral there, but coral is more adaptable to light than a lot of people think. Also, keep in mind that a number of coral get exposed to air...

If this is really is a pc rainbow, I have noticed in my tanks that high par will likely turn it completely red. If you want to maintain some yellow, prolly need a lower amount of par.

Carbon dioxide is what is causing the pH in your kalk solution to fall. You can explore adding vinegar to your kalk. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-01/rhf/index.php#6

rowaphos is GFO.

If you’re only going to need a smaller pump, consider using an IM MightyJet. Yes, not conventional and technically not supposed to be used in a sump, but I use them in every tank I have now and set everything up with redundant pumps with them. Super tiny pump and they haven’t given me a problem...

Dedicated pump. Always a dedicated pump if you have the space. ;) Usually running a manifold or teeing off from main pump will always lead to irregular flow and will be a constant battle of trying to get the overflow quiet all the time. Plus, you get the advantage of being able to turn off one...

Time for condolences, I lost a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Most everything in our reef tanks is specific to our tanks. That said, many people have had tons of natural splits with CSBs and RBTAs and some not so many.

I’ve rarely had natural splits. Most of the CSBs I’ve sold in past have been cuts with the scalpel.

Colorado Sunbursts.

For a couple frags! :p

They probably do….I keep saying I should be their beta tester/media hype man.

Been a while since I last updated. Here’s a FTS of the IM75 and what little other stuff going on around the house.

I'd be careful with tanks in the garage with all the cooking gear. There's a lot of humidity generated by large tanks in the garage (especially in the summer) and things will rust if you don't have an exhaust fan set up or a dehumidifier.

I have chaeto in Castro Valley.

I would not use the spade bit. If you’re using regular drill bits start small and step up in size. Starting too large will crack the acrylic. A hole saw would bit better using a wood/acrylic template of some sort. Or you can use a step bit.
