I am literally looking into this same thing right now. I definitely think it's my Marine Pure. I'm going to slowly remove them and combine that with water changes to try and bring it back down.

Their captcha :D

I will be there! I've got a beach bum monti I'd love help fragging.

Following this as well - I don't care about apps or any of the weird controls, I want something rock solid and quiet. Leaning Vectra at this point, but still doing homework.

Ugh I'm not gonna make it tonight guys. Power went out and it's getting pretty rough out here. Should probably stay and keep an eye on the fish and the family. With y'all in spirit!

January update: So back in September, I picked up this really cool Candy Cane pistol shrimp and orange spotted goby pair. QT'd them and introduced them to the tank in October sometime. pistol shrimp immediately made a home in my rockwork. The goby swam around a bit the first day, and perched...

FYI this Brute/bulkhead is exactly what I built and it works great. I even have that same exact bulkhead I think, just in 1".

I have the redsea and it's been nice and it's accurate to 0.1mL (I've tested this), with plenty of cool features. There is a whisper mode which is pretty quiet, it just doses slower. Idk if it's worth the extra $ over some other dosers, but I just get tired of having a different app for every...

@Srt4eric - bringing smoked queso dip

I’ll be there with a frag and dessert!

Super helpful thanks guys! Everything looks healthy so I'm not looking to make any big changes at this point, and y'all helped confirm my feeelings. Got the test for $20 so figured why not ‍

Sweet! I'll keep you posted once he gets out of QT

Short update - sent water away for ICP testing and was a bit surprised by some of the results. Need to do a bit more homework but my initial reaction was a little confusion about some of the low numbers of trace elements specifically 0ppm iodine and manganese. I have All for Reef on a doser...

Big difference imo. Shipping and such is an additional stress on the fish. Lfs can give you solid advice and support if something goes sideways. Like at high tide, Kenny will walk you through the whole quarantine process he goes through and show you all the fish at all the various stages so you...

I'm in! I'll bring food. Tbd on frag so I may not participate in the swap but happy to just meet folks.

This ^ there's a reason I'm offering him up and not putting him in my DT. Beautiful fish for the right owner/tank, but I want a nice calm coral-focused tank, not "The Real World: Fish Edition".

Short update - everything is growing like crazy. The random candy cane and mushrooms I picked up from @Finnaddict have tripled in size and my JF beach bum is probably 8 inches across - going to frag a few pieces of it. Picked up a Naoko Wrasse a few weeks ago, which is fast becoming my...

Forgive the totally stupid question - what are these for? To feed to fish?

Thought this was pretty interesting on how ICP testing is performed as well as what's tested/what to expect and a review of a few companies out there. Also good info on Fritz Blue Box. https://fritzaquatics.com/assets/files/uploads/ICP_TES.pdf

Great suggestions thanks all. Glad I'm not totally crazy. I guess last question @BAYMAC said it pulled it down, does it not eventually encrust and "stick" to the back? I was hoping the glue/magnet to just temporarily hold it till the colony spread and could stick/support itself.
