He knows when you sleep. OR: Wanting the food, but too scared to grab it.

Hey, Richard; we're looking forward to having you! Regarding frags: as long as they're not on the list here, you're welcome to bring whatever you'd like: https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/6-1-frag-swap-at-mission-blue-center.35518/ (We've been trying to minimize the proliferation of the...

Thanks for the idea! If we wanted to do this, I'd be happy to write up social media posts (@ReyDeFarts would that be you posting them)? And very much appreciated on this. My 'day job' is as a scientific writer, and I got into it because there's a stunning lack of overlap between 'knowledgeable...

Need more people for registration, frag swap patrol, and raffle workers!!!

Additionally, I've updated the main post. For those who have not done so yet: if you are even a 'maybe' on the swap, please RSVP. This helps us do logistics better and helps us figure out how much food to order.

Echoing Michael (who echoed me) - yes, that rule is no longer in place. We're going to monitor the swaps going forward to reevaluate bonus + ultra corals; removing that rule encourages people to bring more of a coral that will proliferate in the club. If it starts getting flooded, we'll revisit it.

Part three is now available

I'm posting this information with the caveat that I'll need information on the above to help provide a better diagnosis. Ich: https://humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/marine-ich.11/ Velvet: https://humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/marine-velvet-disease.12/ Flukes...

@Telle629 A couple questions, and it's possible time is of the essence. I highly suggest asking for help over at Humblefish as well, but I'll do what I can here: 1. Are any of the fish exhibiting bizarre behavior (flashing, gulping/yawning, breathing very quickly, scratching on the rocks and/or...

Everybody give it up for @Bruce Spiegelman . He is KILLING it for the frag swap prizes.

And we're ordering extra under the assumption that there will be people who did not RSVP.

Correct, stupid mobile

You should be able to plumb in the one I'm giving you with one of those methods.

Looks like a media reactor. You can run it with gfo (water clarity/toxin removal), gfo (reducing phosphates), etc.

Detectable TDS is bad. 97 is what I saw in SJ after my filter blocks and carbon, before membrane and resin. For perspective, I live within spitting distance of a water treatment plant and my tap water is 40 with no filtration.

@MichaelB and @Alexander1312 tagging you in here given our discussion in the other thread over automation.

Richard, the area rep for Coralvue, has agreed to do a talk on aquarium automation with the club. We're still setting up details (including date), but this is an excellent opportunity for everyone to come up with questions to ask. Here's some examples we have so far: What can you do with...

So I'll stop derailing the thread after this comment, but: this is a big part of why an automation workshop would be helpful. The ecosystems and pros/cons of each tester (Trident and Maven) are not directly comparable, but generally: if you want to monitor your aquarium + test alk, calcium...

This would be an excellent question to bring up during the automation workshop. I am, admittedly, NOT an Apex power-user; and my (very broad) understanding is that Hydros is more accessible but a bit more limited.

I think Robert has a few set up at Neptune Aquatics you could check out. As for what it does/what it is: Tank water gets pumped into a cuvette (basically a test tube) Testing reagents for alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium get pumped into the chamber (in three separate steps) A little stir bar...
