Yes, the guess is based on the PAR readings taken in the past, few minor adjustments since then.

In the coral farmers market last month, I picked up a beautiful Maxima Clam. It looks beautiful and I am super happy. This is my first time trying to keep a clam. I ensure that water chemistry is maintained. Ca - 420ish, Alk 8.5, Mg - 1250+. This is a Nuvo 20g aquarium, I have been regular with...

@Apon I'd like a ticket. Will Paypal you the amount.

My tank has overgrown a little bit and has been ignored for the last 5 weeks as I was on a vacation. I do have some frags to give away: 1. Purple stylophora 2. Green Birdsnest 3. Micro-hammer (pale green): 4-5 heads or more 4. 2 unknown acros. One looks brownish in color with blue tips and...

@JVU @MolaMola Thats true. However, when the Kalkwasser in ATO solution worked, I was happy that I had to refill the container only once in 2 weeks during which the alk and Ca needs were taken care off. That is especially helpful when on a vacation. I'll fix my params manually over the next few...

Lately its been very difficult to maintain Alk and Ca levels with growth of the stony corals. Even after adding kalkwasser to the ATO, the alkalinity drops by the end of the week before the water change is due. After a water change last week, my alk was around 7.5, 6 days later its now dropped...

Thanks @Bruce Spiegelman!

Since last few weeks I've started noticing these critters in my tank. Not sure what they are. They are also multiplying pretty rapidly. Also, battling the GHA after few weeks of generous feeding and substrate change.

Not the cleanest organization for equipment, but much better than what I previously had. The ATO pump pipes seem to be dangerous, I think I'll just move the Aqualifter pump to a different section of the closet.

I've been using 2 Jebao OW-10s for a few months now. The instructions with the included manual are really crappy. Found this video very helpful: Happy with the new flow pattern using the master and slave mode.

Over this weekend, we moved our apartment. The most difficult part was moving the aquarium. This made me reconsider my choice of hobby! I am surprised how people with bigger aquariums move their tanks. Moving this 20g tank was such a task. Wow. Learnings: 1. Have more water handy than you...

Definitely! Lets coordinate pickup over DM.

You got it. Shoot me a PM to coordinate pickup!

@ashburn2k I keep forgetting to add the location. Updated the post. Located in Sunnyvale.

I've got a fist size colony of green birdsnest and can make bunch of frags from it. Fairly easy to take care of, its a nice beginner SPS coral that grows pretty fast. Got this from one stick to a fist size colony in about 8-9 months. Location: Sunnyvale.

In general, I think the overall coloration in the tank isn't as bright as I'd like it to be. I did start adding some acropower since last few months, I did notice improvement in growth. However coloration isn't any different. I just dose about 1 - 2 ml about 2 times a week. With extra dose I...
