So to make sure I understand: 1. SF tap has near 0 tds 2. But it has chlorine 3. And occasional large sediment / solids that need filtering? Not sure I understand how 1 and 3 are consistent but should probably educate myself!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This was my question — why not do this? It seems cheaper and MUCH easier?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the rec!! What’s a water saver? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes I meant pressure gauge, brain fart. My point on chloramines is I’d rather get a higher output or cheaper rodi and just add Prime to the output vs. mechanically or chemically filter it in the RODI which is much harder to do I read. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure - but I’d just use prime vs a filter if I did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Going to replace my 3 stage RO Buddie. What does everyone here use and recommend, in particular for SF water which is already pretty clean? Key features for me: * not crazy expensive * inline valves so I can know when to replace filters Have seen various recs here for BRS/Koolermax etc. but...

Ha. Had my wife hold a colander while I poured the bucket. She’s not thrilled. #reef-husbandry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got new Hanna kit today. Salinity refractometer was WAY off and SB was around 1.019. Brought it up gradually thru water changes to 1.024. dKH remains low which is strange. Currently 6.4. Going to do a couple 20% water changes back to back and see what happens. Considering adding Kalk to ATO...

I had a Tom's Aqualifter Pump and a float valve running from a 5G Bucket for my 90 for a very long time. Extremely cheap and worked like a charm. I do prefer Tunze, but to be fair it's an order of magnitude more expensive.

So far so good. Except this ‘dragon soul’ favia seems to be sadly leaving its body :-( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Black Spine Urchins are the only ones that do real work. Everything else is more decorative in my experience.

Ah sorry. I thought the question for updates was the availability of frags. But you’re asking people who have them for pics! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can pick things up around South SF if anyone has things for the swap they can’t bring tmrw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m game if you can bring one to the frag swap tomorrow. What’s lighting / flow requirements? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah. Gotcha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never used either. Afraid Kalk paste would spike alk? But that’s probably just ignorance. Any articles on how to use Kalk paste here? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Definitely game If for whatever reason you’re in SF and have any! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got it. So mushrooms are OK? If so would love to borrow or try some other way to get these out of the tank before they take over everything!

Also—mushrooms keep growing. Anyone up to help me get them off the rocks for the swap? Can give them as an attendance gift they are nice but taking over! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
