    Aiptasia or something else?

    Check out sponge anemone on google images and see if it looks similar. Pulled this from Humble TBS vendor sub forum. Written by TBS: (We refer to this nem as a sponge anemone. It is an "undescribed species in the genus Bellatis. This particular species does not proliferate asexually." -FWC. It...

    Aiptasia or something else?

    Did this come in on your live rock order? And what area was the rock from? I think i recently read some LR harvest locations may not have the typical aiptasia we so commonly see in our reef tanks.Your pic looks a little different than the typical.

    Patio's IM 75 EXT

    Just started running the Ultra Reef skimmer last week. It is replacing my e-shopps s-120. The s-120 is great at skimming but is unable to prime itself after you turn it off then try to turn it back on. I think it was a known issue a few years back but I never dug deep enough to figure out how to...

    Derek's 225g - Magnifica / SPS Reef

    Would you say you gained the ph back -that was lost with kalk removal- with the new outside are intake? Water looking really clear down the length of the tank!

    Algae scraper - 15 mm glass - Recommendations

    it feels more on the easy side when compared to my hammerhead algae free on the harder side. I have not used the 020 with its stock plastic blades. Those are the only two I have tried on this tank.

    Algae scraper - 15 mm glass - Recommendations

    I suggest anything that can accept the 4d ceramic blades. I have an algae free and tunze (I went with the .020. for my IM 75) with 4d ceramic blades. I have not used my algae free since getting the ceramic blades a few months ago. The algae free is very strong. They are sharp so I tend to be...

    RO/DI Outflow Color Tips

    +1 on using waste for the garden. We store waste in 100g container with a spigot and hose attachment. My brother uses it in his fresh water planted tanks as well.

    Sandbed in refugium?

    I have never had calurpa and so don't have a negative experience with it. Because i don't have the negative experience, I might try hydrogen peroxide to kill what i can see (without killing entire rock) and then hope herbivores handle what eventually pops up. That would either work or be my new...

    Sump Plumbing with Spa Flex?

    I think it should melt the spa flex enough to form a seal. I used spa flex on my setup but can't recall noticing what you are. @Srt4eric ?

    Looking to switch Salt

    I believe it is only an issue with some salts. Red Sea Pro black bucket I believe calls out not to store more than several hours. I have zero knowledge of salts with carbon dosing packaged in.

    Alex’s IM 150 EXT

    I am excited to see the Tampa Bay live rock in there. Are you prepping the live rock or dropping it directly into the tank when you receive it?

    What do you use to dose ALK, CA (& MG)

    Kalk for alk/cal weekly water change for mag. Test mag maybe once or twice a year ish.

    I dont test my water parameters:(

    before dossers came down in price and availability years ago, it was fairly common to gravity drip from a two liter bottle or gallon jug each night. It was scary trusting the knot tied in the airline tubing was done well enough to have a nice slow drip. Now i enjoy having a kalk reactor coupled...

    Bean Animal issues

    Good to hear! You must have glued the internal overflow plumbing inside the overflow box. I just go with press fit, figuring it can't leak. I do glue the external box plumbing though for sure.

    Bean Animal issues

    I think so. This is how IM tank's BA drains are setup, no elbow. IM does not use an elbow on the secondary either.
