Quick tank update: Calc/Alk consumption after getting in a good level for a week or two with 2-part dosing has started to increase by .3 dKh a day. Thinking this could be from two things: Getting ALK into back into the 7-8 range and stable has made the corals happier I've also been ramping...

Nice progress. I had looked at the Nano Stream, but really liked the simplicity of the VCA RFG nozzle. Glad I made that choice after hearing you make the switch. I think it also doesn't slow down the flow like the nano stream does.

Forgot to add the update on CUC. Thanks to Coral reefer for probably 2 dozen baby trochas snails to help get in the nooks and crannies. They’ve been out and about the tank. See if you can spot one of the little guys (and yes, there is some ugly hair algae going on)

Two more frags of these. One is a larger shroom (top one). The other frag has one smaller one, and a tiny one on it as well. Fighting hair algae in my tank. No other known pests. These are hard to kill. Curretly growing with low light (<100 PAR in their section of the tank) and...

Pick-up in San Francisco In the ongoing effort to clear out junk (...I mean quality reefing gear) that I save, but will probably never use again.... my wife will thank you for coming to take these away (though your spouse /SO may hate you). Following are some items that are looking for a good...

Hooked up the dosers for my 2-part today. Here’s the underbelly of the beast. It’s not as bad as it looks. Most of the wires are zip-tied and hung up. There’s just so much of it under there that it’s hard to have it all neatly lined up.

Hi all, Thought I’d ask if anyone knows what these zoas might be called. I’ve had them for a long time and forget where they came from. I was going to try to frag off one or two for dbtc and dont know what to call them other than purple zoas. This is under an AI Prime with an AB+ profile...

Thanks for the offer. I think you're on the other side of the Bay from me or I would take you up on the offer!

There are a lot of different reasons they might do this - PE firms can lend expertise (eCommerce, marketing, etc) to help grow the business even more (which is their primary incentive in investing). Also, short of selling the business entirely, founders may have a hard time cashing out on the...

Hi all, I'm thinking about getting a Nero 3 to add some extra flow to my tank. It looks pretty compact, and gives me the option to mount it on the wall of my AIO (which is went behind because of the AIO compartment. Would this be too much pump for a 14G tank? The display portion of my tank...

Update: Starting up 2-Part I'm using the BRS 2-part pouches Including some links/references in case it's helpful to others Ok, I stopped adding any kalk the past 24 hours to see what the ALK usage is. Calculated the ALK usage in my tank, testing at the same time both mornings. dKh dropped...

2-Part has arrived. It’s sad because I probably gave away a couple of the old gallon screw tops of this stuff after I downsized, thinking I wouldn’t need it any more.

Definitely been something that has accelerated more recently, which is why I can’t wait for my 2-part to get here. I want to keep it level day-to-day. As mentioned, maxed out with all kalk top off the past few weeks. But my tank just doesn’t evaporate that much water day-to-day. I’ve really...

Eagerly awaiting my 2-part supplies shipment. I guess something is growing in the tank, even if it sometimes doesn’t look like it. As mentioned, this is 15-20% water change and topping off with kalk in between.

When I look at your tank, it makes me think I have way too much rock in mine. Looking forward to seeing it grow out.

Epoxy is a lot stronger, but harder to move once it's set. Stuff like this: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/two-little-fishies-aquastik-underwater-epoxy-putty.html

Added a 2 polyp DBTC Sunkist bounce to the tank yesterday. It’s opened up and showing nicely. https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/dbtc-sunkist-bounce-mushroom.23927/ From @Baykes

I might take you up on the baby trochus. How do you breed them? I have two large trochus in my tank but they can't get into the crevices. Would a tuxedo run out of algae in my tank? Also, it sounds like while they're reef safe, they may move things around (i.e. all my frags would have to...

Thanks. An excuse for me to purchase some PETG. Will need to really scale it down for my tank. I can probably fit something that's 2X2 in a corner of my tank.
