I’m stumped, I’m sorry that this happened to you, seems like a complete freak accident

As far as oxygenation goes, I’ve always gone off of the water surface. I try to have a powerhead or return near the surface to agitate the water. Some rippling is good enough for gas exchange. Even without that, I would think a protein skimmer would be good enough. I would check other...

Very odd that that all happened so quickly without any odd parameters

I definitely want to start up my AIO cube for a DBTC/frag system in the near future, but I need to get some good growth and get past the uglies stage before she will give me the green light. I explained the uglies stage to her before hand, but I dont think she fully understood it :p

Hard to say exactly how much growth I have, since I look at everything on a daily basis, but I would say I have somewhere around 10% growth. Mainly looks more dense with more folds. Ideally I would like to have my frag doubled in size and give out frags equal in size to what I received, but if...

The uglies are coming in full force! Mostly have a brown algae, I think its diatoms, with a bit of a really thin lime green algae. Corals are still doing great, algae isnt growing much on the plugs, not inhibiting coral growth at all

That is a really nice coral! I really like the color of the terminal polyps

Just wanted to throw it out there, picked up some rainbow polyps at the swap, they were/are pretty tiny, but they look like the green center yellow/orange center line overall purple clove polyps. They are growing pretty fast, started with 2-3 polyps, already up to 7 polyps. Looks like maybe 3...

I have terrible handwriting lol

Completely agree, cant wait for my DBTCs to grow out more so that I can share them! The brittle stars that you shared with me should be super easy to pass on, hopefully I start seeing some crawl out from under the rock they initially went under lol. Also, I havent been added to the spicy favia...

I think you should always do some water changes. If you’re hands are in your tank, you can be introducing small amounts of pollutants, like soaps, detergents, oils, etc

I’m interested! Just have to consult the gf. Edit: nvm, today is too last minute!

Thats impressive! What was your strategy for moving it solo?

Suction cups and more people would help! Our club has suction cups, but you have to be a supporting member for at least 2 months to use them https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/borrowing-the-clubs-suction-cups-x8.22609/ I cant really think of a safe way for just 2 people to move a tank that...

Anthias are very cool, and nice to look at, but I’m just not a fan of the feeding schedule that they need. I agree that koles and tominis are better workers, but I dont really like how they look. Where as I really like the look that foxfaces have. Have you noticed a discrepancy in size between...

Makes sense XD. What kind of foxface do you have?

My issue is that with a single 300 watt heater, it wasnt able to hold my temp. Set at 80, the tank would reach around 75. I had to crank it up to max in order to slowly and barely break 80. After having the door next to the tank open all night, it dropped to around 77.5, and slowly rose back up...

Any specific reason why you wouldnt want one?

I’ve read that foods can greatly fluctuate in N: P ratio. Silversides came in at 10:1, where as mysis was 500:1. Could try switching up the food a bit. Edit: today I learned that we have old school emojis that you can put in posts with the right commands lol

What tank size/length would you recommend for a foxface? And I’ve heard that one spots generally stay smaller than the regular ones or magnificents
