Lotta great deals out there leading into the holidays. Remember there's a lot of nice shops in the area who only will be around if people pick up their deals too. I stopped by high tide today and he's got some nice fish in stock and some good ones queued up. A bunch of nice coral too. Aquatic...

Anyone have any of these skimmers and know them to be dead silent? I could use a reason to replace my AC red sea skimmer

As someone who grew up on a family farm in rural Illinois, I think this would all be very much cheating on what is called a farm for a money benefit, and therefore exactly the sort of thing farmers across the US would vehemently support as a way to screw the man!

When did you get the chromis?

:( Assuming you've done a big water change, seems like disease. Maybe try posting on humble fish? Did the dying start happening right after the nem? Nothing wonky with your water source? How are the corals doing?

My experience is the biota one will very quickly outgrow that first tank, and probably quickly outgrow the second. They grow fast and you'd likely need to re-home eventually either way. Easier to re-home when small.

Any recent pics of the live fish you can share? I'd do a big water change, send in an ICP test of current water to Trident (I think they have the fastest turnaround to the west coast), make sure your salinity gauge is calibrated, and put in a bag of carbon. I'd also consider getting a bag of...

#3 claimed by Eric Top down view

Alright, here's where it ended up. 1. I got a drip of superglue on a pair of pants I liked, which I then made even worse by trying to use superglue remover on it (obviously in retrospect that is not dye safe). -1 pair of good pants 2. I couldn't get the colonies cut in full chunks, partially...

Actually, hold off on claims. I'm currently fragging and ... I severely overestimated My ability to get colony size pieces loose without breaking it

Pickup in Redwood City. This evening I can probably do whenever. Let's say 6pm onwards no problem, 430pm onwards let's more coordinate (I need to vet with my wife).

Here's the pieces I'll cut off today. People who have messaged me directly can pick. @Srt4eric will get first pick cause of his overall help. Others can pick claim here. I'll try and get a pick after I cut them since I'll probably butcher the cutting. If you want any of these shrooms lmk as...

If anyone wants to track their costs, buy some kasa smart strips or the smart plugs with power tracking. Also with home assistant you can plot graphs of it very easy. You can convert these to $ cost instead of kWh, but I didn't do it for this screenshot: These are the two power strips...

Mine unfortunately died in my frag tank. I'm not sure if it was the high nutrients I had for a bit, too close proximity to a monti cap, or something else completely. My other acros in that tank are turning into colonies over the same period, so I'm unsure what happened.

Usually you want the sump water height high enough that you're not hearing a waterfall from the water going into the return, but low enough that water is pouring over the edge. The reasons for having it pour over the edge are because that ensures your ATO is only refilling based on small water...

Have you considered putting freshly decapsulated eggs directly in the water? Would be interesting to see if they eat the eggs, and if they didn't you could hope enough hatch that they get 100% fresh ones to eat as they grow/hatch. You could try minimize the risk of non-eaten, non-hatching, eggs...

I currently have takers for all I have available at the moment, without resorting to breaking the bigger pieces into smaller pieces. If anyone else is interested feel free to message and I'll see what I can do. Folks have until this weekend to message because I ripped up my hands in a bike...

Or sorry, since I framed it as "right", the right answer is frag them at live tissue and put them in a safe tank. The easy solution to your current problem is pull and dispose

The right answer is dump them. The hanging example would be purely if you're interested in doing a science experiment.

From a theoretical physics standpoint, I think all that matters is height, not horizontal distance. The energy required being based on the difference in potential energy between a mass at height=0 to height=SomethingBigger. From a practical standpoint the horizontal run does matter, due to...
