I don't think it's possible to keep everything happy all the time. Different coral want different amounts of light, nutrients, energy. Alk is one thing you want to keep stable. Stability there is often more important than level, you should increase alk by small increments. My last tank crashed...

Chiller would be clutch for days like today if @MarAquatic ends up deciding not to take it!

Frogspawn is really growing. Unfortunately so are the mushrooms. Have stocked a starry blenny and a mandarin. Have not seen the mandarin once. But the blenny has a lot of personality. Too bad he’s currently scared of humans. That will change. Also an arrow crab (pictured) and 2 emerald...

Why not? What about mushrooms? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey team - anyone in SF have this in SF so i can borrow? I have a bunch of ugly zoas + green mushrooms that are legit taking over my nano. Would love to use this to even out the balance and get some of the mushrooms off my rock. Will post pics, but the mushrooms have started to sting some of...

Fair. Not actually 0 but closer than it’s been in past! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update - post temp swings things are growing. alk - 8.0 CA - 420 MG - 1280 Ammonia - 0 Nitrate - 25 sg 1.025 Temp - ~76-79F Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve started hatching brine shrimp using a Hobby Hatcher and BRS brine shrimp eggs. Does anyone else do this? In small quantities it seems to be great - my wrasse and clown seem to love it! Any cautionary tales or success stories? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck!!

After the 90 in my garage crashed due to alk spike—sold it to Tim for one of his tap rooms—I found a nice deal for a 40G innovative marine that I could put in the kitchen! Huge win for everyone, hopefully. Setup: innovative marine 40G, A 360-WE on gooseneck, eheim heater, tunze ATO, MP-10 pump...

Hey team - thanks for your help and thoughts. Go look at buy/sell/trade - planning to downgrade tank to a nano My suggestion would be to maybe donate the corals to the next auction - maybe I can get some credit or something to stock my nano when I get it :-). @Alexx - those ricordia are...

Amen. Test in peace, tank.

Fair. But let’s just say I’d been mixing in this brute container for 2+ years without issue and did the same thing I normally do. Absolutely should have measured alk but had no reason to think it would spike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. Sadly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So Teo came and picked up the coral, so some may end up surviving *fingers crossed* Fish seem fine.

It was only in the mixing bin - but yeah I removed it. Added some heavy metal detoxifier into the tank just now too. Nothing touched the livestock (except me) to get shocked! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It showed 1.00 last night on fresh water—but I will try this later today. Refractometer has been mostly trustworthy but who knows!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One other thought - a heater shattered in my mixing bin for saltwater. Caused me a shock (literally) Any reason that could contribute? Going to be rebuilding most likely so stay tuned for plan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have citric acid randomly actually - is that safe to add directly? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
