I would like a ~3" slice when you get a chance. I'm down in Santa Clara if anyone is making a run up there from San Jose area. Otherwise I may be able to pick up for our region starting next week.

Love the idea, I would definitely call in to learn how to propagate various coral species!

Thanks for the frag BTW! Looks like it’s acclimating well so far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I know... they only provided one packet of pH cal powder so was trying to save it for later but I did end of cal'ing and the meter was off some. Readings make more sense now, pH reading higher. Thanks for the feedback all.

The heater is having a bit of a hard time keeping it exactly on point but I have only noted about a 3-4 degree drop early on the mornings when it has been in the 40s throughout the night. Good observation though. Was thinking of running a second heater just so I don't have to run my primary...

I hoped/assumed it was cal'd out of the box as it is a new meter but with all this feedback I'm suspecting that maybe the meter is out of cal as you said. Will check this weekend and report back.

Can I pick one up this weekend?

Yes all equipment is housed in a sort of plastic tool shed so its air-permeable. By "low" my pH is trending in the low to mid 7's which isnt terrible I just don't understand why I cannot get it into the low 8's. Thanks for the warning on the Boron buildup, will proceed with caution.

Throw me in the mix. Let me know when/if a piece avail.

yessir

Can you put me on the list if more becomes available?

Still interested if you have an extra piece. Let me know. Thx.

My sump and all filtration is done outside and water pumped into tank through pipes through wall so hoped air exchange would be sufficient. I can leave the window near tank open and see what effect that has.

I think the discrepancy in my results is most likely due to the reagents of the Red Sea kit are likely 15-20 yrs. old... (I know). But now that I have the digitial meters I have more specific numbers to track behavior by and to gauge how small changes I make are effecting water parameters. I...

One thing that complicates my photon distribution is the acrylic cross-members across the top of the tank. Creating “cold spots” higher up in the tank where you would not normally experience lower PAR values. Overall I think if I map it out I will know where I can stick stuff. See pics: Sent...

No I did not, I didn't know that was a thing but makes sense. I will try that. Thanks!

Until recently I had been utilizing Red Sea liquid test kits to gauge water parameters which I inherited from the guy who gave me my first salt water tank almost 15 years ago. I don't know if it was the age of the test kits or the inaccuracy of liquid (analog) vs. digital (Hanna) test kits but...

I recently purchased 2 Kessil A360X for my 50 gal "rock wall" tank.The tank is 20" deep and the lights are mounted 6" above deck. I did a lot of research and this was the recommended height for most consistent coverage and I also went with the recommended width based on BRS research. I just...

If someone falls through I would like to take a crack on one of the frags. Let me know. Thx.

I have spent the past two weeks in Maui and have to return to the Bay Area tomorrow. I have loved spending hours in the water watching all these beautiful creatures in their natural environment... and wondering how I can smuggle some of them back with me ;-) They won't miss a few... right?
