You can see how it’s set up now in this video. I added a water collection cup before the actual media.

Sometimes you can have really frothy skimmate and in those cases, the bubbles and anything stuck to the bubbles can get sucked into the scrubber intake. not all skimmers have float switches that turn off the skimmer if the collection cup is full, in those cases can liquid skimmate can be...

Bleach them. “Palytoxin can be neutralized by soaking the coral for 30 minutes in a ≥0.1% household bleach solution (1 part 5%–6% sodium hypochlorite [household bleach] to 10 parts water, prepared fresh) (8). Contaminated items should be soaked in diluted bleach before disposal (3).”...

I never bought into that reasoning. Let’s assume you don’t reach a somewhat equilibrium with outside the skimmer air (there’s still holes in the lid) and the skimmer cup remains somewhat isolated from the outside skimmer air, you’re going to be constantly pumping co2 into that skimmate cup until...

Pull air from the top of an ATO (that has a lid) or an external fuge with a lid that way you don’t have to worry about skimmate in the airline. It’s the humidity that helps the media work better as it increases the penetration of co2 into the middle of the media.

Been a while since I posted a FTS.

@Bruce Spiegelman are those acro colonies still there? Or have any others?

What size or Jorvet are you paying $48 for on Amazon? I only see 3 lbs bags for $24.99 and 5 Gallons for $134.99.

Yes, it is.

I dunno. I’ve always been terrible at ID’ing acros. Maybe granulosa, maybe caroliniana, could maybe be a weird lokani? Maybe I’ll ask Adam over at battle corals and see what he thinks.

I love the color on BC Cricket Spine. I think all SPS collectors should have a piece of this. 12/12/22 - first receive the piece 1/11/23 3/7/23 9/11/23 2/29/24 - after in-tank antibiotic treatment 3/18/24 4/1/24 5/9/24

Retailer has to do a minimum amount of business in California before they are required to collect sales taxes. You are required to report purchases out of state that did not collect sales tax on your behalf. https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/industry/wayfair.htm

Tap plastics scrap bin - $1-2 a sheet usually. Used a jigsaw and then a router. Yes, it’s a Noctua IP67 fan. https://a.co/d/2Fa4mkp

I cut a lid out of polycarbonate and used nylon screws to mount it. Been around 1.5 years and fan is still working fine. Post in thread 'Randy’s Innovative Marine 75 Ext' https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/randy’s-innovative-marine-75-ext.32907/post-472881

They’re just super finicky. I’ve tried many times and have given up trying. I’ve got them from LFS, online, from an established tank where it was eating. They are just tough. I don’t even want to admit how many times I’ve tried. Longest I’ve ever kept one is around six months.

Tank still looks like it’s doing okay after the antibiotic treatment. Fingers cross that it continues and doesn’t make a comeback like last time. Some acros are just so much better at recovering from sickness/stress than others. This seems to be one of them. This is Battle Corals Backdraft the...

@Srt4eric I do not. I ended up giving them all away. Hopefully, another on the chain has one.

Looks like I’m starting to get some growth out of this frag. Woohoo!
