Wow, that really sucks, sorry to hear. PM when you get back up and running, I got some free frags for you to get you back started up.

Welcome, cool job path. Can't wait till the next time we can do a club tour of the Monterey Aquarium, major regret that I was busy for the last one.

How do I make an image file smaller. Every picture I try to post it tells me the file is too big.

Figured I'd add that I will be sending a few of these to tomorrow's swap. Keep your eye out.

A lot of people consider it "rescuing" a fish if you buy it from Petco. I would definitely recommend having a good quarantine setup before purchasing a fish or coral from there.

Just FYI, Petco also sold Liveaquaria to a 3rd party this year. https://reefbuilders.com/2020/07/21/liveaquaria-under-new-ownership-following-sale-by-petco/

If anyone gets this and also uses the method using the Red Sea Nitrate test and Hanna Phosphate ULR tester, I'd love to hear about how the 2 test results compared.

Not going to be able to make it to this one but I'm happy to donate some frags. Is anyone going from Oakland, @The_Lazy_Reefer, and can swing by to grab frags on the way?

Wow, how did I miss this before, great video. Any idea when it was shot. Would love to hear from Rich on how the vinegar dosing and his Phosphate lowering experiment is going. @Thales are you out there? Been missing the skimmate podcasts too.

Do you test PH. Low PH was the issue causing my RTN/STN a while ago. Might be worth buying a cheap PH pen to just check every once in a while, really is the easiest thing to test.

WOW, literally couldn't disagree with this statement more. The BOD is a bunch a good hearted volunteers who I feel have been taking uncalled for abuse from people who won't volunteer their own time. This is the Bay Area, I don't think one member of the BOD needs to use their "power" to gain...

Randy Holmes-Farley (if we can get him) I think he could expertly address the way "Reef Chemistry" affects our tanks.

Just FYI, here is the thread from R2R with the chem expert, Randy Holmes-Farley, answering some questions about dosing potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/question-about-spectracide-stump-remover-dosing.213281/page-17

NeoNitro, but thinking of switching to food grade potassium nitrate (because it's cheaper) I started using it since I almost zero'd out my nitrates and wanted to barely dose nitrates through out the day to keep that from happening again I auto-dose 20ml per day (1.5ml 12x/day into my 800(ish)...

I'm not sure about this. I believe if you go check out the Bay Area Reef Central forum, you'll find dozens of ex-BAR members who have decided the club is no longer for them but continue to partake in the hobby. I'm just surprised so many people are affected by one member deciding it's not for...

Best of luck to you in the future. This club isn't for everyone.

My vote, We should change this to "Tank of the Quarter/Season" and have people include progression shots throughout the 3 month period. Maybe also include some of their maintenance routine, dosing and feeding schedule, etc. Would put less pressure to find a new person every month.

Yes, I meant the "uniseals", I would avoid these. If I had known I could have it made with bulkheads instead, I definitely would have gone that route.

I like "shadow" overflow boxes the best. Next best is Eshopps, they both are very good. The Modular marine one I have uses slip, rubber, non-glueable downspouts, would not recommend them. I also had to threaten them with contacting my credit card when I didn't receive my order or a reply to...

I'm interested. I have an Acanthophilia that's been happy in my tank for years, I believe the Cynaria would like similar parameters. It's too nice to take for free though, Can I trade you some corals for it? I got a bunch of nice chalice frags.
