21 days and corals are doing much better in the 15 gallon fresh set up that I haven’t touched since I started it other than refilling ATo.

I could be available next week, but you likely need sooner. If you need help anytime after Monday give me a ping.

Agreed on the solar companies.

It’s the roof costs that are the deterrent for my case right now. Replacing the roof for solar, and then replacing it again in a few years to improve the upstairs is making the decision a bit more nuanced. :(

That’s just my frag tank and 200 gallon. I would need to google it again.

300 in generation charges and 500 for the delivery in San Jose. PGE does me no favors. In order to go solid we would need a new roof. :(

I can relate. My energy bill last month was 850 for 900sqft home not running heat.

Very solid points, thanks for the reply! @Prestondeeply

The problem with the costs of Reefkeeping. Specially in California, we see the impacts to our wallets on all fronts. Utilities, shipping, inflation, etc. I am writing this because I feel I have seen a large increase in posts about it, probably just recency bias honestly. So I wanted to pose the...

That I hate dry rock.

I think you are right. The best match up might be a little biome shake up. Gonna be tough to find a sizeable amount for 100 gallons though.

My alk runs 7.5 - 8.5 and ph is 8.3-8.6.

The necrosis continues. A few new batches of dying tissue. The Bali slimer was growing so well until this. Some brown algae are forming on the tips. I don’t think there is much to do other than watch as it goes through the rest of my sps.

Thanks for the link. The nem has been solitary for 8+ months but I’ll throw some carbon in incase.

Not any more. Lot most of my nems in the move to our new house. This was a replacement for those. Prior I had 5 in the system and all were about the size of two fists.

I lied, I got one new Zoa a year ago. My bad.

Not in its current tank, but I’ve kept nems and zoas together for years and never had an issue before. I’d be hard press to think that’s changed. I haven’t gotten any new zoas in like three years either.

Broadcast feeding, but I stopped direct feeding my nems a couple years ago. I see it catch mysis and brine occasionally.

Anyone ever have an anemone that “permanently” shrunk +90% and stayed that way? The below anemone has lived in two of my tanks, that are well established. When I picked it up from a friend it was roughly fist size. Since introducing to my frag tank, it shrunk to roughly the tip of a pinky...

12 days in on the test tank. A frag of the same monti that can’t survive in my display, is showing no signs of stress in a brand new 15 gallon tank with fresh rock. Crappy pic with no filter, I’ll upload a better one if it makes it to week three. The alk on this tank has swung from 8.5 to 13.4...
