Seconding this. Plus you can do a stronger bleach solution and simultaneously cure the rock to sell/give it away.

Not a tank update, but my wife won me a stuffed puffer fish dressed as a clownfish!

I bought the MedVet 5 gallon jug of soda lime recently. The bucket it comes in is airtight and has a twist-off cap on the spout. Regarding it "going bad", my two cents: the only CO2 getting in there is the minimal amount of gas exchange that occurs when you open the jug, pour your media out...

Seconding this @OutlawNick . It makes a huge QOL difference (in terms of ease of working in it) and opens up a lot more equipment configuration options.

Regrettably linking to The Bad Place, but I think this is a very useful article for those of us who are interested in (or have done) the Moonshiner Method of, "ICP test, dose trace elements to correct": https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/randys-elements-to-dose.1030557/ While I think the...

And, in fact, have been listed as ultra since the refresh. :)

It's a combination of all of the above. Price is a consideration (if something is consistently >$150 online, that's considered bonus), as is desirability + a more subjective sense of, "How often have we seen these at swaps before, and how popular do they seem for people to purchase?" This can...

Agreed. I usually used them as a first-pass cutoff ("Okay, my tank is smaller than this, so no; my tank is larger than this, so I need to do more research.").

Agreed; peach hammer yes (bonus), acro no. (And I've updated the list to reflect this.)

So, quick tip that I found very helpful - LiveAquaria has quick stats on fish final size and minimum gallon sizes for each fish. These aren't perfect but, while you're learning, are a very good rule of thumb*. Another good resource is igreens nano fish guide, which gives a list of fish suitable...

Additionally, there is going to be a MUCH BIGGER THAN USUAL RAFFLE, so we're going to need a few more raffle volunteers than usual!

Just over three weeks until the swap! It looks like this will be a bit of a bigger one, and we still need more volunteers, so sign up if you're able to!

The concern's very much appreciated, but you don't need to worry so much. :) The general rule of thumb is, "Would I be happy receiving this frag?" To put numbers to it: if I had to guess, I think most zoa frags are between 2 and 5 polyps, and the only rule that's really enforced is when it...

Ecotech stuff is expensive, but I am more or less a fanboy now because of their customer support. I've had two experiences with them, both times my fault, and both times they went above and beyond for me.

Fortunately no. But I also feed 3x/day. He's picked at some snails, though, but that's a small price to pay.

I'd say the one on the left is bicolor, the one on the right is splatter

Can you post pictures to help better gauge?

Your reef is a few miles from where I live. If you get it sorted and will be at the frag swap, I can deliver it for you.

Seconding this. I got lucky and my CBB from Kenny is a massive pig that will butt heads with my tangs to get frozen mysis.

Keep an eye out in the coming months; if the Maven is as good as it's touted to be (from Hydros) there will likely be a lot of used Tridents on the market soon.
