    Ryan’s New 40G Setup mixed reef

    Totally. I haven’t lost a frag I’ve put in this tank yet. Even stuff that was looking bad (eg the bizarro) has turned around. Even if things don’t grow they stay mostly stable. Definitely don’t want to lose the frag so if anyone else can come pick it up LMK. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ryan’s New 40G Setup mixed reef

    I am in SF - super happy to bring it to Mike. It was actually doing the best out of all of the frags, and the bennett tort was struggling and the red one was in the middle. Now the Yellow Tort seems to be doing the best, the red is losing color and the Raja chalice is disintegrating. @Coral...

    Ryan’s New 40G Setup mixed reef

    I know that in principle. In practice with 2 kids it’s quite difficult, especially since the chemicals aren’t exactly toddler friendly. Did the daily test early in January and calibrated so it was going up .1-.2 a day so was very surprised to see it drop so much. Anything other than would...

    Ryan’s New 40G Setup mixed reef

    Pretty bummed about the tank. To be fair having a newborn takes time and sleep away but the tank has struggled. Dosing I though I had right - raising alk from a low of 6.5 last time to 9.1 last week. The meteor shower began to recover but now with the same dosing and a reef crystal water...

    name of this coral ?

    If you’re getting rid of it I’m always interested in mystery corals. In SF. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    PIF: Thin pink birdsnest

    To be clear I’ll pick it up in SF but the locations on all the cross talk was confusing on what was where! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    PIF: Thin pink birdsnest

    I’ll try some of this for anyone who has some and can bring / get to SF? Thinking about getting a frag rack to make some space in the tank :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gauging interest in home cultivated live foods

    Have been cultivating artemia. Definitely interested but way too far in SF. Good idea! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Emerald Crab eating my Cyphastrea?

    In my tank journal I thought fluctuating alk may have been decimating patches of my beautiful Cyphastrea. I just happened by my tank now and saw this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v0lger7cngvcve4/Video%20Jan%2003%2C%209%2049%2057%20PM.mov?dl=0 What do the experts think? Emerald Crab munching my...

    Ryan’s New 40G Setup mixed reef

    Yes this is my first time dosing with a doser and it raised from 8->10.5 relatively quickly so I was afraid I’d gotten the first one way off. My plan was to monitor the consumption daily but with no childcare and a newborn that obviously didn’t happen!!! Will be slowly raising to stabilize...

    Ryan’s New 40G Setup mixed reef

    So holidays have been hard. Meteor shower keeps dying off. Dosing in a nano is no joke. So far I had been dosing something like 40 ml / day of all for reef. That had raised my Alk from 8.5 -> 10 in a couple weeks. I ramped back to 18ml / day and now my alk is down to 6.5. Having trouble...

    BRS shipping...

    Also this time of year there's huge backlogs in the entire shipping chain, so guarantees for smaller retailers like BRS are probably at the bottom of the queue

    I actually like this use case as well

    A new DBTC system

    Man - you are tempting me to dust off my node skills, but with a newborn at home I won't win any fans debugging code ;-). If you need user testing, happy to install the app and try it out though. Thanks for doing this!

    I popped a couple zoas...

    I do this all the time en masse. Problem is that the Zoas can come back improbably. Never had an issue with my tank after though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    If, for example, alk raised too high from dosing. Or other levels I’m not testing for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
