I haven't been there, but I did see them posting that they just had their soft opening. Anytime before that they were probably still under construction, or still are.

@newfly are you adding fresh kalk with every water refill, or leaving a lot undissolved kalk to mix in with fresh water? Are you testing that it's not fully saturated? I'm also playing around with some ideas so your findings are helpful.

Midnight snack mood got me thinking these ceramic media look a lot like the egg roll cookies I had a lot as a kid lol Ceramic media Egg roll cookies

I'd like to try the green machine. Still getting all sorts of algae/dino issues in my 30 gallon macro tank.

There's a separate tab for each known manufacturer. The problem I see (from a non stats person) is you don't know the total population of tanks out there.

Someone already started collecting data: https://humble.fish/community/threads/i-created-a-spreadsheet-of-reported-aquarium-failures.20411/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ephRf3Is3-tNFJMl8AHMOSK-LdZIT9r7o7SQ6sKQ9Zk/edit The anecdotal evidence is enough for me to stay away from rimless...

Sorry to hear, Marvin. Did you ever test for ammonia? Eels and very messy and big eaters so lots of waste decays in the system if there aren't any other fishes to eat the scraps. Could be worth hanging on of those Seachem ammonia indicator tags just to have an advance indicator.

Lately I've been more interested in learning coral taxonomy rather than the razzle dazzle marketing name. From searching, comparing the corallite structure and long branch thinness, I think it's an acropora loisetteae...

Thanks Ian! Such a chunky frag that I can probably break piece off a for someone else once its settled in.

Thanks Ian for the frag and showing me your beautiful mature reef tank!

Opinions on Favia of the Gods? Got a chunk I'm going to try and cut up this week.

Where are you located @iani? I would love to grab a frag to grow out and share

I would like a frag of this one. @reef89, @Plankton, @Alexx, @L/B Block, @dangalang, @CaseyP, have requested a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Testing the pH difference between a bucket of freshly mixed saturated kalk (12.4 pH) and my avast kalk stirrer (11 pH). The stirrer still has a lot of kalk at the bottom which makes it very deceiving regarding its potency. Already a 0.2 difference and that's at 75% of the dosing volume of the...

LVP is the most stress free. In our last house we had engineered walnut. Absolutely loved the look and feel but it was a lot of stress with young kids, dogs, and the tank. I was hesitant to go with LVP in our current house but glad I did. Dragging things across the floor, spilling water while...

Functionally no difference. I'm thinking form factor since the selling point for a kalk reactor is space savings. Most setups I see the kalk stirrer under the stand. In my head I'm imagining the reservoir at the bottom and the kalk hopper, peristaltic pumps, and mixing motor all in an housing...

@richiev another idea I was thinking about is a kalk powder dispenser, using an auger style drum like the Avast Plank feeder. This would eliminate the second container. 1. Kalk is dispensed into the reservoir 2. Fresh water is filled and mixed with motor driven paddle 3. Kalk is then dispensed...

Love it! I'll have to check these out in person because Luca modeled the spectrum after the 14k Phoenix (or Ushio?) halide bulbs. Those were my favorite. I have the Quanta Pro meso blues and they are very blue on their own. I have to crank my Kessil whites way up to compensate since I can't dim...
