I don't know why I though I was on the current page lol

I second this offer. Multi color is an option.

I don't have any experience with the DC maxi Jett. I would fell better running two of the maxi jett pumps over an S2 that's overkill.

My jebao scp-120 are dead silent. They are also complete overkill for a 4' 100g tank.

All one way valves are error prone but even a failed one way is going to be beneficial. If you fork over the $ for a one way valve with unions, at least it's easy to clean every 6 months

I use kalkwasser/alk/MG I would absolutely use a calcium reactor and kalk. That was without a doubt, the best coral growth I have ever had. I just can't afford it.

Frozen mysis and live brine and baby brine have always been my preferred QT food. Even live blackworms. Everything I can to trigger a feeding response. I hate QT fish. It's my least favorite part of the hobby. Remember that they like to feed often but you have to scoop out the un eaten food or...

Testing in this hobby and the test methods and accuracy are not an exact science. Double check your results if it prescribes a large change in any parameter. Salinity accuracy is the most crucial. If your salinity is unknowingly low, it's going to be a nightmare of dosing to keep stable...

I used deicing magnesium for a while. It obviously had impurities. I never saw a change in the tank when I switched to brs magnesium but it brought more peace of mind.

I have seen bubble algae on a frag but it disappeared and I haven't seen any since. I assume it was thanks to "Spike" ;)

I'd need to do the math to compare the concentration but it seems like it's close to the same price per material by weight. Are you unsatisfied with the brs cacium?

As for the hair algae, my understanding is that mature growth of the algae is less tasty compared to fresh growth. It seems that manual removal is the best treatment for the long stuff and herbivores for the new growth.

The nice thing is they will eat anything eventually. The downside is they will eat anything eventually. They are like sharks, they take a bite then decide if they like it or want to spit it out. Don't put any single polyp zoa frags in the tank with a fox face ‍

Onto the better news.

Miami Hurricane chalice survived and I thought it was a gonner. All of the hammers and frogspawn bleached a little and are still retracted but their tissue looks healthy again. One of them was torn and I cut the flow in half for a couple days to let everything relax. The stylo will recover.

This. This was how I scratched the impulse buy itch when I couldn't find a coral I wanted. Buy a book.

You can make a concrete mold and create your own. I done this a few times with 3d prints with stuff like skulls and helmets.

I am able to make these changes on my phone while traveling. It's more tedious but you have access

It's one of those things that comes with a mature tank. Trim it back and it will regrow. I figure regrowth is consuming more than mature tissue. I don't know if I can prove that lol
