@Srt4eric you already know I’m down for tickets and to volunteer!

Thank you all for the fast replies. I’m in Sunnyvale so Los Altos is preferable for pickup but I appreciate the offers! I will DM you, thanks!

Hi all! I have RGB led strips around my ceiling perimeter and I’m powering them via a Meanwell LSR350 but the stock psu fan is keeping me up at night. I found a replacement cover that holds a 120mm PC fan that’s 3D printable which will drop the noise level to near inaudible. Would someone be...

Before and after pic. 4 jars of pods from 2 different vendors and a copious amount of daily Live Phyto, I’d say my dinos are 80-90% gone!

Dinos are getting better by dumping in as many pods and daily live phyto as I can afford! Params: sG: 1.026 pH: untested Alk: 10 Calc: untested Mag: untested No3: 10.2 Po4: 0.037

Purchasing a $350 inverter generator was probably the smartest choice I've made in reefing. (other than becoming a supporting member on BAR of course!) When the power goes out I just laugh at PG&E and rip the start cord.

I’m sorry that people are so flakey, that sounds very frustrating!

Hi all! I borrowed a microscope and was able to have my unknown red stuff ID'd as large cell amphidinium and ostreopsis, if not other types in addition. From my research it looks like I should run an oversized UV and dose bacteria to deal with the Os. Dinos. For the LCAs, sodium silicate dosing...

Got an ID by Mac's reef on FB (it's a Dino support group). Looks like I have large cell amphidinium, if not also other types. I dosed 2 large bottles of mixed pods, am holding nitrate 5-15, have detectable phosphates, and I will start dosing sodium silicate to cause a prolonged diatom bloom to...

Just circling back to this because I dont yet know what I should bring today.

Params: sG: 1.026 pH: untested Alk: 9 Calc: 410 Mag: 1450 (IDK how it can climb without dosing lol, damn red sea test kit) No3: 15.5 (Still dosing and its climbing so time to turn down the dosing) Po4: 0.012 (I stopped dosing RN phyto this week but I'm unsure how it can drop from 0.265 to 0.012)

I'm excited to finally meet a lot of you in person!!

AFR dosing was stopped for a whole week (by accident) and it only dropped my alk from 11.5 to 9.0. My daily consumption rate was at least 0.5 prior to my tank taking a nose dive so I'm interpreting this as my corals are much less happy. Alk only got up to 11.5 due to lower consumption, not...

@H2OPlayar @Srt4eric what should I bring?

I'm still interested in one!

Thank you!

Thank you all! I've ordered a blend of pods and live phyto. So far, since it has become a problem the red stuff has only gotten worse. For several months I have always seen a little cyano on my pump's nem guards. Should I try chemiclean or just wait for it to go away by adding pods?

Params: sG: 1.026 (Amazon finally delivered a not leaking 35ppt reference fluid so I could calibrate my cheap refractometer) pH: untested Alk: 11.5 (Not sure why its so high. My corals have seemed unhappy so maybe theyre growing slower and consuming less? I turned off my doser for the next few...

I hope everyone gets the opportunity to spend some quality time with family and friends this holiday!

All has not been well in my tank over the last few weeks. Cloudy water despite doing WC and always running carbon. I either have Dinos or weird cyano (I think it’s dinos). So my sand looks terrible and my corals are mad. I’m calling it and returning my OG bounce because it never seemed happy in...
