Thanks. Maybe it’s an amazon handling thing. They refunded my money. I’ll try ordering from BRS next time.

Hi all, I decided to try the Red Sea foundation test kits after having used Salifert kits for a long time. I ordered one from Amazon and it arrived with some solution having leaked. I was sent a replacement and had the same issue. Has anyone else had this problem with Red Sea kits? Also the...

Forgot to mention. Lights are LEDs, so no heat help there. It’s an open top so the netting isn’t going to keep the heat in. Also, the heater was one of two off my 40 gallon (plus another 10 in the sump). I thought it would be more than enough for the new tank, but the old tank was acrylic...

At first I thought something was wrong with the heater or the apex programming (even though I haven’t touched the programming in a while), and it had stopped logging, but in reality the heater just hasn’t turned off in couple days. I think it’ll be ok until we get home.

Ok. So, I think your post explains the temp issues I’ve been seeing on my tank. We live in SF. So, it usually doesn’t get too cold. However, I (can’t blame my family members) turned off the heat to the house for while we were away. It looks like my heater had been struggling to keep up.

I’m really bummed I’m missing the first SF members swap. Having just travelled to Chabot for a soccer tournament (child’s not mine), I don’t miss doing the drive. Maybe this will be a new trend. Btw, I’ve been a BAR member off and on for over a decade. I’ve really appreciated all the...

There was a blue tang swimming in the frag tank but I was too busy looking at frags to notice if it was missing a tail.... [emoji16]

My daughter had a soccer tournament in Hayward today (can we say rain and hail). So, I stopped over at Aquatic Collection for the first time. Definitely don’t have a store like that in San Francisco. I would have gotten a fish, but don’t have time to QT this month. Picked up a few frags for...

Nice. I don’t have to trek across the bay. First time in SF?

Finished up some big to-dos today for the tank. 1)I finally finished up the shelf inside the built-in that my new tank is setup on. 2)I then organized all the cables. I know it looks like a mess of cables, but everything is attached to a cable clip. All the wires coming down have a drip...

Hi all, I have a chalice that came from my prior tank. It’s coloring back up in the new tank, but it came over with some algae on it. What’s the best way to clean off the algae? Should I take a toothbrush to it or will that cause more harm then good? I thought about sticking a snail on top...

@Coral reefer - keeping my fingers crossed on the RBTA. I had it on an “island” in my 40 (not possible in this new tank) and it hadn’t moved for a long time. It’s been creeping around in the 14 as it’s been getting settled in. Are you in SF? Would be interested in the frogspawn. @glee -...

Some pics of the current inhabitants. Hoping to add some more zoanthids and maybe some frogspawn or candy cane to replace the ones that got bleached out. Thinking of a cleaner shrimp next, and debating between a skunk or a fire shrimp.

Just started one. Needs work, but the basics are there!
