    Advice to cut rock-hard coral underwater?

    You'd have to use air tools I think and they'd likely get ruined. Or you'd have to oil it up real well after, then what about when you want to use it again? What about a bigger bone cutter? More leverage is more power. A garden lopper might work if you sharpen it up real good. You can get a...

    BRS series on cycling ("biome cycle")

    I listened to Ryan's lecture today while working. Thought it was quite good. Trying to apply some of the lessons from this to my new tank setup. It's not that straightforward though because I'll be plumbing it to an existing system. Also I don't think the ideal is any of these experiments...

    Recommendations for dosing system for a small tank (24 gallon)

    In the ato is easier but since evap varies day to day it's better to use a doser for consistency then make up the rest of the volume with the ato. That said I ran kalk in my ato for a long time and it worked, but I can see why it's not the best solution. I would probably just dose the kalk...

    What marine worm is living in my sand?

    I used to run dsb back in the days before Dr Tim with live, live rock and we would get all kinds of neat stuff in the sandbed. I miss the stomatellas but most of the others not so much. Some amphipods make burrows too. I thought they were worm tunnels for the longest time.

    Copped an open box xf350 gyre with controller on a good deal today so display flow is sorted, at least as a starting point.

    What marine worm is living in my sand?

    Freaks me out too but I don't glove and never got stabbed. All mine are like the 1" or less pink/tan ones tho. Might ask aquatic collection also about a fish order, they seem like they can get fish other shops can't

    What marine worm is living in my sand?

    What's so bad about bristle worms? If you are overrun by them sure but a few is not a problem imo. Orchid dottyback might eat them and is not as mean as other dotties. Pink streak wrasse or longnose hawk may also. Pink streak is rare to find but a cool fish even if it doesn't control pests

    Free: Tunze Osmolator 3155 Auto Top Off

    Troubleshooting my nano osmolator 3192 it appears it's gone to a better place. Not sure if it uses the same PS but likely so. Edit: mine was 3152 and it is the same power supply.

    Where is the magnesium coming from?

    At some point when I'm ready to buy a Trident or Ion Director (or whatever else they have by then) I'll figure out what exactly is in these but I'm not there yet.

    Anyone have a CK Peyote Dreams Monti?

    Speaking of CK, did someone on here buy that red/navy yuma that's in the NorCal shop? I was eyeing it but was was sold/paid for.

    Where is the magnesium coming from?

    If it's a sensor/detector problem I'd flush the whole thing with di water first. The sample and reagent lines. If you are switching reagent vendors this probably a good practice when making the switch

    Where is the magnesium coming from?

    Peristaltic pump can't siphon, the line is pinched shut. Could be a reagent problem also. I'd get fresh reagents first and then recalibrate. If you still have problems I can look into what exactly the trident is doing in there, I do analytical chemistry development/troubleshooting as my day job.

    How high off the water are you mounted? Blasting with T5s right over the water some of my zoas like it but others are a little reluctant. Mushrooms mostly don't like it.
