All that being said, if you have an that measurements I can print you at least some test pieces for sizing. I might even have some ABS somewhere.

My understanding is potassium chloride doesn't works on nudis. I might be wrong, but I looked into it when the club was taking about it so much and then saw that and abandoned the idea. If you experience otherwise, or read otherwise, please do share. I use Coral Rx, I think. No specific...

3d printable probably, but would require using filament that can support the weight and maybe more importantly the heat of the lights without warping. Maybe ABS or ASA filament. I personally don't have that on hand, and ASA seems to require a good filtration system (I've never tried that one)...

Saying things a bit differently, if you're going to put a valve on to restrict flow, then there's no reason to use a bigger pipe as your primary return. If you turn the valve closed, you're turning a 1/2in drain to maybe 1/4in (or smaller), at the valve. The flow volumes are most affected by the...

Definitely easier to buy a kit. I stayed this route because I wanted it setup a particular way, otherwise I'd of probably bought one of those eat overpriced kits. I have a CNC now which I think is more appropriate, but I can only cut small things...

Here's a fusion 360 and a step file version. I didn't test those exports, but those are the pieces I used. There's a baffle in there by the drain, but I didn't actually use that. I glued them together with epoxy, then siliconed them in place. Make sure to do a water safety test to ensure your...

If you're going to go the dipping route, which is a good one, you should be dipping every monti every couple days. There's guides online, but I think it's approximately every 3-5 days (some guides say daily, some 5 days, more is better). Scrub with a brush or at least a toothpick any white...

let me track em down. They're all sized for a 40gallon breeder though. Certainly could be resized/scaled. Has worked for me so far with no issues. The plastic does bow, but so far has held up well. Do you use fusion 360 or anything like that? I could try and export the original.

Definitely looks like it. Seems very common in frags, including from the club (maybe particularly from since that's where I've gotten them from). Check all your montis for lines and white spots and be very aggressive about scraping or tossing pieces. If you see one climbing on the glass, you...

Partial frag tank shot. I think this is the first time I've ever grown out numerous colonies at once; especially acro colonies. Monti eating nudis seem to be under control. Not really sure what changed, besides the wrasses getting hungry because my avast feeder got a bit plugged up. Some...

I've used those two. Nothing wrong with trying! I got mine in a two pack with a TDS meter (maybe that exact same one). From what I've read the cheap ones aren't very good with saltwater.

I'd try with a different meter or a test kit. I wouldn't go out of your way to spend a bunch of money on testing it, but as @Arvin R said those numbers seem erroneous. Particularly with your alk numbers, it seems impossible. It does seem promising your 65 had a higher number than your other...

My $0.02 is I would not go lower than the 25% pic. I'd of gone at least that level (and probably higher in both tanks). If they look healthier/happier in lower light, then maybe that's a sign you should give them lower light? Also keep in mind the light is different at different parts of your...

Your rock isn't likely to cause coral issues. I wouldn't rush to change that. I'd just do what Eric said and do a bit more water changes. I can't remember if you're buying your rodi water from Neptune or somewhere, but make sure whatever water you're getting is clean. Unless things are dying I...

If you're seeing weirdness in your tank, and your Nitrates are high, that seems like a perfect situation to make sure you're on your water change game. Worst case you bring your N down to a level you're happier with. I wouldn't reduce feeding based on your previous statements about having been...

First post had an urchin. Still have it? Maybe it's dead and caused some issue? Is the water clear still? ATO didn't somehow get chlorinated water in it? Similarly the new water you're changing in for sure safe?

I was trying to avoid rabbit hole'ing too far, but now that the thread is renamed: for me the main issue with DBTC is it's not about the coral and propagation, it's about the individual. "This is my chain, I control how these corals are used in perpetuity until you meet my criteria, even...

FWIW the goal of reeflines was to promote coral that wasn't wild harvested; things at least one step away from the ocean. The lineage part was just an indirect byproduct from that. Ideally being to say "here's a coral that's 20 steps removed from the ocean, and here's what the situation was in...

I think generally rules oriented around penalizing undesirable behavior are less likely to increase engagement with a product (DBTC) than finding ways to incentivize usage. If there's benefits to people to do something, people will do it. Just need to figure out what those are, and make them...

I don't think the issue is the tool. Barcode definitely needs work, it's a great volunteer tool, but definitely needs work. However, you could do much of what it does with just DBTC threads or a spreadsheet. The issue is the desire for people to create and manage chains. The tracking only...
