Makes sense. All the tools I use do take quite a bit of space. I wanted to make it exact to the recipe and make sure it’s stirred well so I bought a magnetic stirrer, beaker set, scale, and bettix bottles for easy manual dosing. If you ever wanted to switch over or try it out, let me know and I...

Thank you guys! I’ll pm you if I end up deciding to go this route. Right now everything looks fine so I think I’m going to do ICP and then adjust slowly based off of that

I’m going to send an ICP in. My LFS is Neptune but they do the Aqua Spin test thingy which I don’t really trust. I’m going to test everything again today. I’m very careful about following the instructions so I don’t think it’s user error, unless it’s the actual checker itself. I even used...

Tested again after having skimmer back on for 1/2hr. I had it off for 2hrs before testing because I added phyto. Don’t know if that would affect ph/all that much. Something I noticed was my calc is way out of balance. Is it possible for corals to consume more alk than calcium? My Hanna calcium...

Do you use the powder or the liquid? I bought the 800mg powder and barely finishing up my first liter bottle I made. I honestly thought I’d go through it faster. Although if I ever ended up needing to dose the max amount for my tank (75ml daily), I’d go through a whole liter in two weeks, so I...

Thanks John, that eases my mind a little. I saw 5.8 pop up and I panicked lol. I’ve never seen it that low. Thankfully I caught it before my coral started showing signs of distress. Will slowly increase

It’s the 50 Gallon Low Boy with a 34 Gallon Sump. Probably 75 gallons total water volume system. I think the minimum is 5ml/26 gallons. I had done daily testing before and starting dosing 25ml daily and that gave me a stable all around 9dKH. I’ve been doing that same 25ml consistently, but I...

Alright guys. Total noob moment here. Basically I ran out of reagent so I got lazy and stopped testing for like over a month. I’ve been doing the same amount of AFR consistently but I will admit I’ve added corals and didn’t increase the dose. I bought reagent and did a test today and my alk is...

I wonder if the white ones from Reefing Art are also like that? Because I use the white ones lol. I haven’t tried cutting them yet

Yeah I’m in San Jose and you’re in SF but if you ever come down or I come up we can arrange to meet up. If I would’ve know you were looking for some I would’ve brought them to the swap :( Thankfully I haven’t dealt with bacterial issues yet but I’ve seen a few people recently struggle with that...

I agree that it’d be nice to have a list ahead of time… but at the same time I understand its a lot of work to create. I want to bring bonus corals so if I know ahead of time, I can acquire them and grow them out to be able to frag them out. I’m sure a lot of people feel the same way. I think...

You have to subscribe to their private Instagram story to get the in tank recipe. Although I’m sure it’s out there somewhere, but I think it’s nice to support them for doing all the research and development if one decides to go that route. Happy that just the cipro worked out for you!

I can give you a 10pk of cipro to have on hand. KFC does have a recipe for in tank treatment I think, but it’s not public like their normal treatment. You have ti buy it from them. How did you dose the cipro?

Sorry to hear about the losses :( For 3 months being gone though, not too bad. Did you do in tank cipro dosing? KFC method or just cipro?

I might pickup a P1S just to compare to the K1C. I really like the K1C but I hear a lot of talk about Bambu Labs. I think one of their biggest selling points was the AMS but I’m not really interested in that. I heard it makes a lot of waste, and I mostly just print reefing stuff and I prefer...

Bambu labs is having their “Black Friday” sale starting tomorrow. I do like my Creality K1C though. No problems… yet

Beautiful tank! Nice to meet you at the swap! I caught your real name but not your screen name and I was wondering who you were on here lol. Put the pieces together with your city in your profile and the upgrade to a 425 from a 170. Still have to figure out a couple more names of people I talked...

I think @Ayman was the lucky one this time. Man just kept winning lol

No idea who got it. But insane frag + best container… everyone was eyeing it lol
