Thanks Robert, I'll see you some time today, to pick up one of those beauties! :) This will be my first cyphastrea, any tips or recommendations are appreiated.

Thanks, I look forward to watching it grow. :)

I have it on the bottom now. Think I should bring it up top yet? Attached files

Since I was lucky enough to get 2 pieces (Thanks to MIke's generosity) I'll try it in both positions. Shouldn't take too long before I'm able to offer up one. They seem to be happy so far. Pics below. 8) Attached files

:) How much will a frag go for?

Nice meeting you at the swap Robert! Is your fist pic the cyphastrea? That is a beauty!

Any room left for my family and I? We are 5 total :)

Agreed, My target has been 1.026 so Im actually @ 1.025, no big deal. It is nice to have these lab grade standards though. I dont know if after another year or two the error would continue to creep up. Do we have more types of these standards available?

Mine is high by exactly .001

Please help! I have been using Salifert test kits for a loooong time. I just tested the standard from BAR and my results show 11.5 (see pic below) The first pic is the sample with the 4 drops of the green stuff. Second pic is where the standard should be (10.884 KH). Third pic is where...

Glad I joined the club, that was fun! Think of all the coral reefs we saved in one day! :beer:

Great sentiment! Welcome back.

Thanks everyone, I guess its time to recalibrate my refractometer! Also, thanks to BAR for providing the standard. :)

Yes my refractometer is supposedly ATC(automatic temperature compensation). On any day, my aquarium sample increases slightly after sitting on the refractometer for around 30 sec. Both samples were at room temperature at the time of testing, one was at 1.0 as advertised, the other at 1.027...

Good Morning All, Great swap yesterday! Has anyone else tested the refractometer standard? It says 1.026 but my Sybon Opticon FG100sa reads the standard as 1.027. I haven't had to recalibrate since purchased a few years ago. The manufacturer supplied calibration standard which is...
