    (Santa Cruz pickup) Soft corals and anemone

    I can't remember who I originally got the green BTA from but it was from my first club frag swap (and first swap the club had post pandemic) that was hosted at Michael's house.

    DBTC: Unknown SPS

    It can take many months for them to color back up. Just keep all parameters stable and get in line to borrow a PAR meter as soon as you can.

    Reef taxi needed

    I'll be in your neck of the woods tomorrow around noon and then headed to Union City. Guess I can make a stop in Fremont for ya too if timing works out. I'd probably be in Fremont area around 1-2pm.

    DBTC: Unknown SPS

    It could be a few different things or a combination causing them to turn green. Some things to look into (I'd start with the first one and work your way down) 1. PAR is insufficient. Usually colorful acros need very high PAR (and flow) for to thrive and develop and or keep these beautiful...

    Anyone have dosing pumps I can borrow?

    It has its own controller built in. You have to program each dosing head how many total ml per day it will doae and how many times a day it will dose (i.e. it will split up the programmed amount to dose into how many times you specify) and you will set what time it will start the first dose...

    Calcium climbing with calcium reactor?

    I don't have experience with a CaRx unfortunately but general thinking says to slow down on your CaRx and use supplemental alk dosing to keep alk stable until your calcium comes into desired range. Then figure out how much more you can increase your CaRx dosing to keep calcium stable at your...

    Vacation dosing

    Most consider 10-12 dkh elevated alk. It can work and give accelerated growth but everything in the system needs to be fine tuned (high pH, high PAR, high flow and trace elements need to be maintained) and you need to keep a very close eye as above 12 and you are quickly in the danger zone of...

    Vacation dosing

    I was speaking more toward dosing without knowing your consumption amounts, not necessarily the levels you are aiming towards. CA and MG typically do not need to be dosed daily and a corrective dose at a choosen and consistent interval is fine for these elements. Dosing elements in daily and...

    Vacation dosing

    There are many ways to skin a cat. That is one of the best parts about reefing. But there are general safe guidelines that are tried and true over the years. We do question when someone is not adhering to the general guidelines. There are certain cases when the tank journal or a full tank shot...

    Looks like it will be awhile until another frag is ready but would love to help bank this. My system has been doing amazing with SPS as of late with daily growth and pulling great colors.

    Tin made the news!

    That statement is a stretch but foregivable as the article is not written by someone who is in the know about our hobby. I'm on moonshine method and elements that require very small daily dosings can be dosed (and are recommended to be dosed) right at the beginning of photo period. Kalk commonly...

    This is why I don't buy online

    Here's an example from a photo I just took of our nems. Phone camera and orange lens only, WB adjustment to match as close to how the nems look to the naked eye under blues as much as possible. Makes the background crazy blued out. But you can clearly tell the nems and GSP look very close to...
