I believe the Steinhart aquarium has volunteer opportunities for both young and old : )

Ditto and no problem!

Thanks again for sharing them!

You got it. I’ll send you a DM to coordinate pick up.

Well, the awesome large orange oxide zoas that @Arvin R let me have are now firmly established in my tank so I’d like to pass along the original colony that he gave me plus a green nepthea. Must take both and both are very hearty and beautiful! Pick up in Napa.

Looking good!

So I ran an in tank 9 watt UV with a flow rate of 211gph, so about 4 tank turnover's an hour. 40 watts seems reasonable but I agree 1500-2000gph seem too high. I think 25watts with a flow somewhere in the range of 800-1000 should do it coupled with the other steps I took (i.e. 48 hrs black...

Fritz pro has been great for my reef, mixes clean and is priced well.

Will do, thnx!

Thanks for offering that up! love red monti too but pretty much have it in my grafted monti cap which is red/green

Awesome! I will DM you to coordinate a meet up. Thnx!

Looking to acquire some of this great old school monti cap, let me know if you have some. Thanks!

During the the 7 day schedule listed above I cleaned the glass every other day to try and get dinos off the glass and into the filter sock and skimmer; also should mention I ran my skimmer fairly wet. Normally I clean my glass twice a week.

Well I’m glad to follow up on this email with good news. I seem to have beat the dinos and here is what worked in my situation: 48 hr black out with UV running the whole time, no feeding Then 5 days of only blues on my radions at 20% power, feed every other day Then slowly phasing the whites...

Thanks for sharing the link to the illustrations!

Whoa!! super nice, like the depth of the aquascape.

Ditto, great tank and love the bubble coral.

Nice aquascape, I dig the multi patch reefs and generally open concept!

⬆️ This is basically where I’m at, looking at my tank this evening I realize it’s actually not that bad so a little elbow grease, and a boost from UV should do it. Really appreciate everyone’s feedback, super helpful and I’ll follow up with a post of the results!
