Example: https://www.geosreef.com/product-category/equipment/reactors/kalkwasser-reactors/ I'd feed it with a peristaltic pump. Very expensive though. I feel these reactors are so expensive it might be better just buying a Trident setup. What I do is 5 gallon jugs and pull with a...

Are you sure the impeller is spinning? Also is the water inlet clogged? That shouldn't prevent all bubbles, but I've had snails get stuck which have caused it to have very low everything. I feel I had this once and I can't recall exactly what the issue was, but I think it was related to the...

Air line is connected properly and clear? If you blow into the air line while the skimmer is in the water does a big bubble come out properly?

Yes, that's what I meant. Someone may chime in otherwise, but it works in any water. I assume there's a slight increase in acid you need to add if you use saltwater, because it starts at a higher pH and has inherent buffering capacity, but it's all water anyway. I've done this myself, but...

If you dump the acid in before draining it'll save you a handful of gallons of water waste. I'm sure there's things that say otherwise online, but on a fluval size tank I personally wouldn't be very concerned. I'd let it soak you a long time. Short enough that my place didn't stink (eg not a...

Are you decapitating the brine eggs? That's probably the easiest way to boost nutrients. Also can simplify feeding in that you can put eggs directly in the tank, and they'll hatch and become fish food, without polluting the tank with shells. Putting the eggs in directly assumes you get a good...

I feel I'm on the Derek +1 train recently, but I'm a big peninsula fan and I also agree that setup seems a bit tough for the room overall. Blocking half the natural light into your room from the big window due to the stand seems like something you'll not love. Additionally blocking that window...

Maybe a related option that might be additionally holistic would be a tank or table with a bunch of the loaner things there. PAR meter, fish trap, suction cups, the saw, and put some DBTC corals in the tank. Having a couple things people can play with to keep the table busy (not the saw...

I can't attend, but I'm of the same type of opinion as this one. I'm wondering what the interaction would be with a PAR meter. If it's sitting there and there's an empty tank with water in it, I would think it wouldn't draw that much attention and might be awkward. A bunch of people sitting...

The ones I linked from amazon don't really have the waste problem, as long as you don't lose the cap they come with. They come with a red cap with a pin in it. The pin goes into the dispensing tube and seals it plus prevents it from getting plugged generally. If it does get plugged, you can cut...

If you can find one in your price range, a cordless Dremel type tool is very useful for all sorts of things. For glue I buy this from Amazon: Premium Grade Cyanoacrylate (CA) Super Glue by STARBOND"Gap Filler" Thick 2000 CPS Viscosity Adhesive for Carpentry, Woodworking, Hobby Models, Archery...

Those look like nice ones, very close to what I'm looking for. The thinner line and more direct jigsaw puzzle piece shape is the thing I'm holding out for.

I absolutely support all the variations, and the breeders out there (how great we have a nice, popular, fish that's captive bred). I'm still a fan of the clowns that look like a semblance of Nemo :).

Those are cool, but I'm looking for the standard clown patterning overall, with the variation being the puzzle piece style. Thanks for all the pointers so far all!

CC @Woeday in case he can find one

Just wanted to quickly note, this is a very informative set of data points that I've never seen called out before, and I appreciate it. When I setup my tank here in CA versus previously in IL, I through NSW would be super cool, but then figured it wasn't better and there wouldn't be eco...

Interesting. These are all very cool examples. Too bad that one died off. When people say these various types of sponges spread, are you talking well-growing GSP/mushroom spread, growing on things more and more OR are you talking about xenia/pocillopora spreading across the tank? Also any...
