    Derek's 225g - Magnifica / SPS Reef

    Thanks doc! I use mighty magnets for every day cleaning: https://mightymagnets.com/ The regular scrubber pad works well, and you can use the "algae cutter bags" to get the tougher stuff off if you have a strong enough magnet, and they sell some super strong magnets. Not cheap, but far stronger...

    Goldenrod Anacropora - What is wrong?

    I’ll cut you a chunk, I need to trim mine back away from that lobo anyway.

    Derek's 225g - Magnifica / SPS Reef

    https://www.etsy.com/listing/1663673357/frag-rack-stands-egg-crate-legs-set-of-4?ref=yr_purchases These - I am sure there are nicer options, but these are only 8 bucks! I bet someone local could even 3d print them. Mainly I just like that I can change/modify the setup as long as I have egg...

    Derek's 225g - Magnifica / SPS Reef

    I got these cool 3d printed legs on etsy to make frag racks with my egg crate. They snap right in - modular, cheap, and like 3 different heights.

    Marco Rock boulders- pending

    Are those the ones you got from me originally? If so - I wouldn't mind taking a couple back for my backstock. I'm pretty much out of dry rock right now and like having a couple chunks around. If someone actually needs them for a real build they should take em though.

    Bubblegum Digi Green Tips

    They are very different in my tank, but looking online they get confused a lot. My "FF digi" has deep red, really fuzzy polyps, and green skin everywhere under the red. The bubblegum digi I have is red polyps, less fuzzy, grey/blue skin, and (under certain conditions) bright yellow tips. No...

    Jake’s 90 gallon mixed reef

    My foxface is a regular old yellow one. He doesn't really eat much algae anymore. I do agree lots of little fish is much better than one big fish, in terms of making a reef look natural. My foxface DOES have the best personality of any fish in my tank, though - he grunts for food when he's...

    Jake’s 90 gallon mixed reef

    Cause he's a maintenance guy and doesn't want to get stung I bet! I agree with Mike though, my Foxface is huge and got there quick.

    Bubblegum Digi Green Tips

    Looks pretty happy to me! I see yellow tips there but I could see how one could also see green. Guess it depends on the pic @tribbitt

    Goldenrod Anacropora - What is wrong?

    My nitrates are higher than yours, I doubt that's the issue. My guess would be traces too, especially in a small tank - you've got a lot of coral packed in there relative to the amount of water. Probably a higher ratio than my tank by a good margin. I'm not really seeing the issue in your...

    Eric's 60ish gallon build.

    Just choose cable mismanagement! Free cables. Easier that way.

    How has everyone’s corals from the swap been doing?

    What was it?

    Bubblegum Digi Green Tips

    The one I got from you was so nice and yellow - then the yellow tips went away. The bigger one I got from @iani came without the yellow, then got yellow in my tank, then lost the yellow...lol. Drives me nuts.

    Bubblegum Digi Green Tips

    Funny I was just going to start a thread on this. I also have a bubblegum digi - it lacks the yellow tips. It had them at one point, now they are gone. My colony is much bigger than yours and grows really fast, but no yellow tips! I've tried very high light, and fairly low light recently - maybe...

    Goldenrod Anacropora - What is wrong?

    Just grabbed a pic of mine while I was taking pics for the other thread. Starting to actually look pretty yellow. Although this lobo is about to change all that and send this thing straight to hell.

    How has everyone’s corals from the swap been doing?

    I think that is Cali Tort - also awesome, and that's a very nice frag from @JVU (I think most people would prefer that over the little dragon dildo looking Oregon tort frag you got from me!). The big giveaway is the green - Oregon has zero green anything. Cali tort (and miyagi) get neon tips...

    Hands Down Best Coral Dip

    You ain't wrong, but given that $25 is basically a lifetime supply of it - the price is completely inconsequential compared to the amount of money we spend on everything else in this hobby. My $22 bag is going to outlive me.

    Tom's upcoming Waterbox Marine 90.3 Mixed reef

    Most ICP tests don't even check for Alk (it can't be checked on ICP - they use some other formula to back into it or test it separately I believe). I wouldn't worry too much about it..plus home alk kits are pretty good, relatively speaking. I bet @Darkxerox is right though - especially with...
