Visited @Coral reefer last week a picked up 4 frags: a red goni to replace the pink one that was almost dead, a blue/green lithophyllon, a red/green blasto and a purple stylo. The goni is truly amazing, I love the motion it adds to the tank. It had great PE very quickly after I acclimated it and...

I have a 10 gallon with hob filter (aquaclear 50) and a heater you can borrow through the end of July. I live in San Francisco, pm me if you’re interested.

and a top-down shot from early April when I hadn't yet attached all the corals. Btw, gluing coral down is annoying as heck!

Pics finally! FTS, gramma shot, zoa garden

And here are the photos, a FTS, a nice pic of the gramma surveying his kingdom, and a shot of the zoa garden I’m attempting. (I will attach photos later, the site won’t let me Upload them from my phone :()

To follow up on the alk- I switched to Red Sea blue bucket salt and upped my water changes to 4 gallons a weeks, so far alk has been stable at 8 so I think I will hold off on any dosing for awhile. Below is a new FTS with the corals I’ve added from a frag swap in March and a second with the...

I’d love to go! If the 16th space is still available please sign me up

Just wondering what you do when you’re on vacation for a week or more? I’m tempted to manually dose but worried about what I’ll happen when I leave the tank

Very much in agreement here!

To add to Bruce’s questions: How long have you had it and did you quarantine? Have you tried hatching brine shrimp? I had a possum wrasse that ate everything at first but became increasingly picky as a fluke infestation it had got worse. But tiny live foods like pods and baby brine would entice...

Mario! I just saw this - sorry to hear you’re leaving for now. Let me know if I can help in some way since I live so close to you!

Not trying to persuade you one way or the other but I reckon if you factor in IO going on sale often the price is probably lower than what BRS says. Not a huge deal either way I’m sure!

Very cool! So appreciative of this community right now ☺️

From my understanding the only way to eradicate velvet from your tank is to take out all the fish, leave it fallow for 6 weeks and in the meantime treat the fish with copper or chloroquine phosphate at therapeutic levels for 30 days or for 14 days followed by a transfer to a new totally sterile...

I test every two weeks before water changes (every other water change) and so far the parameters have always seemed ok. But I am not convinced I am using the salifert test kits very well. I also think I probably need to test every day for a bit to get a better sense of the tanks uptake. What...

Finally, some notes on the failures and success of the tank so far: Inverts: The tank came with a cleaner shrimp who did very well and bugged the gonopora a lot. Then we added a randall's pistol shrimp and the cleaner shrimp vanished within a week! We also had 2 turbo snails and one died for no...

Here are two pics of the tank from tis Thursday. Here's a list of the tank's current live stock. Unless otherwise noted the livestock all came with the tank and so I've had it since August 2018 Coral- Green leather toadstool (came with the tank Aug '18) Rainbow acan (micromussa) (came with...

Hi BAR. I finally got around to starting a tank journal for the Nuvo 10 I got used in August 2018 from Craigslist. Here's a photo of it from when I first got it: The tank is running a kessil a80 at around 75%, chemipure blue nano, filter floss and has an ATO. I do a 2-3 gallon water change...

Hey everyone - I was mostly excited to have a BAR event in SF to meet people and learn from them. I don't have a car so it is hard to get out to farther parts of the Bay. Happy to come with whatever frags I have, I may be able to frag some dragon eye zoas but will need to do some research on...
