I've got it in the sump in a chamber blocked off with a baffle. It grows super fast in my hands! I can harvest it every week. I use a cheap amazon "50W" grow light. It's pretty focused onto the ulva, but grows a little coralline on the sides of the sump. No other pest algae though. Check out...

Some people inject Seachem prime to the bag to neutralize ammonia built up during shipping, prior to opening the bag and introducing fresh oxygen. However, don't do this if the water has copper meds in it, as the ammonia reducers warn not to do this (supposedly breaks the copper med compound...

I really like macroalgae for nutrient control. In my system, my ulva macro can totally bottom out nutrients (and will generally either bottom out PO4 or NO3, depending on which is higher). Then, I can dose the depleted nutrient to continue to lower the other. For example, when I had high PO4, I...

Your mileage may vary :)

Hey everyone, looking to pass along one of my three lemon damsels, who is about 3". Unfortunately, the dominant male has been picking on him, and I'd rather get him to a better home. Has been disease free, but I've obtained him recently, so YMMV. The damsel I'm looking to rehome has been...

Huge bummer... I'm a big fan of two heaters that have integrated thermostats on the inkbird with one heater set to turn on before the other, making it less likely that both fail at the same time.

I've made one with polycarb before - still warped unfortunately. Might be better with thicker material?

Eurobracing can help somewhat with keeping fish in. Would really recommend a screen top though - you can make one yourself super cheaply, or buy a nice one from cut acrylic online if aesthetics are the issue. Gotta keep those fish happy!

Recently got a melanarus wrasse, yellow damsels and chromis from @FishForLife. Looks like they're settling in nicely! Those rowdy chromis did manage to break off some monti branches though... Love to see them interact with the coral overhangs and branches.

Here's also a cool investigation into BJD by aquabiomics (https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/experimenting-with-in-tank-antibiotic-treatments-for-brown-jelly-disease.791/) They identify an arcobacter species as potentially causative of BJD.

I haven't done it myself so I can't speak from experience unfortunately. It does seem like there's some decent threads on humblefish (https://humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/brown-jelly-disease-and-euphyllia.4312/) and reefbuilders (for anemone treatment)...

I know that some have luck using ciprofloxacin for brown jelly disease - may be worth a shot?

Also trying to plumb a 10gallon Fiji cube into my DT as an anemone cube. Unfortunately ordered the wrong fittings... Anyone know where I can find some Barb x Female thread fittings locally?

Tank survived my 16 day trip to Colorado! Combination of auto feeder, easy fish and a wifi camera provided a relaxing, automated vacation experience. No coral mortalities, despite my NO3/PO4 dropping to nearly 0. Definitely not as relaxing to scrape 2 weeks worth of coralline and algea from the...

Sounds lame, but light fish stocking and feeding helps... until you can figure out a way to efficiently nutrient export.

I've got a 55 gal marine truvu - not bad but a total scratch magnet, and the rounded corners are super hard to clean. Might be able to find a used one?

Sorry to hear about your crash, but welcome! Do you still have some of the water from the store? May be worth sending for ICP testing to determine what's going on...

Looks like aquatic collection has discounted livestock today, they often have peppermint shrimp

Montis are growing so fast!

Looks like copepods to me - these are very beneficial!
