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...

How many montis, what size, and how much money have you spent on them? If you have a small collection, easiest is pull them. There's a lot of cool corals you can do instead. Alternatively you could try some experiments. Coral don't necessarily care about being on a nice rock. Light and water...

I imagine the answer depends on how flat and smooth your stand is. I'd contact the aquarium maker and see that they say. To me it doesn't make any sense that a foam layer would be detrimental. Once it compresses, it'd be functionally equivalent to a piece of wood. Said differently, at some...

The "grass" (GSP) in my tank is the main thing people comment on, after the snails and shrimp. Some day I'm going to create a really pompous website with "sold out" named acros and then a "limited edition" named GSP with frags at $99. I guarantee it'd sell out. That'd be crazy to hear if anyone...

Not to micromanage / armchair quarterback your tank, but just calling out that a 7.1-7.8 alk change from a one time dose over 15 minutes is in big alk swing territory. Every tank is different, but swings like that caused me major euphylia polyp bailout and dead torches. Other things were...

Mine is growing now. In my experience it seems to do better under a more standard, or blue, spectrum than when it was under a pink/red refugium light. Anyone else having that, or maybe it was a coincidence things got better after I moved it?

GSP is great. Pocillopora are great. GSP will spread, so you need to isolate and maintain. Pocillopora can also spread in the ways you noted, so you should be aware. Pocillopora to someone beyond us non deep reefer nerds looks the same as a Stylophora and like a cooler, fuzzier stick (acro). I...

I have a bunch of large pocillopora colonies that I'm going to likely remove from my main display to clear some space. Very healthy corals. Zero pests in my display. I'm going to put them for sale on FB, but if anyone here would like one, or a big chunk, let me know. I'll take offers of free...

I think regardless of what that norm is, it should be that people get nicely asked/told about it. Ideally it'd be publicly shared, so everyone could know they got tank STDs. However public would be either overtly aggressive or at least passive aggressive, so I usually just ask nicely if they...
