@Meshmez Do you still want the green digi?

Very generous!

Which one did you have?

If you decide to go with the optics based ones, be sure to get one with good optics. I heard there are issues with some of the lower quality ones that trigger false alarms and wake up you several times in the middle of the night... like the icecap ATO. Whatever you do, don't get the icecap...

This motivated me to feed my gold torch today!

Ouch. :(

Anyone have experience with the icecap ATO? Mine has been beeping a lot lately, woke me up a couple times in the middle of the night so I just unplug it before I go to bed and replug it back in in the morning. Not sure if it's because of heat and high evap rate and it thinks something is wrong...

Welcome! It was good to meet you on Monday. Looking forward to your Tank Journal!

why is this still a sticky in 2020? :)

I love nitrates. I keep mine at 5-10ppm. Tank growth exploded after I raised nitrates. I have a mixed reef with tons of euphyllia though.

@Srt4eric picked up a frag today! I'm all out. Gave him my last two since they were fused together. Post a pic of your tank with the GSP!

If you want the GSP to host the clowns, put the clowns in a small container or breeder box with just the GSP (with barely enough room to move around) for a bit. That worked for me with a BTA before. Maybe it'll work with the GSP?

@Drew 24 Y how's it doing in your tank? Post a pic.

@Qball951 picked up a piece today. Post a pic of it in your tank here!

Yeah, I sold the mother colony. I measured the polyps with a ruler and some of the green 'tentacle' part of the polyps were over 1.5" long. It was starting to branch faster than I could frag it so I created a new GSP rock after I sold it. My clowns look pretty sad though.

Next in line for a frag of that partridge when ready.

Mother colony is gone but have 2 frags remaining.

Tropic Marin C has 70 elements. From their rep: Part C does contain Mg and all 70 trace elements found in natural sea water. I do like that ATI is only 2 parts though. It’s one less thing to worry about and should be relatively cost effective on a frag tank.

It takes a bit of research but it’s so much cheaper to make your own solutions. I spent $33 to get started and will probably never run out of nitrate and phosphate solution. I used a similar calculator to create my own solutions: - 5ml for 3ppm of nitrate - 1ml per .01ppm of phosphate This is...

I almost went with ATI which seems similar to ESV - 2 part that includes trace. I went with BRS 2 part with Tropic Marin C for cost effectiveness but that takes up 3 slots on the doser vs 2 for ATI. I didn’t know they had C N and P dosing. That’s essentially what I’m doing using white vinegar...
