Still chugging along. Looks like it picked up a little more yellow since I got it a month ago.

That shipping fee (for the 10 piece min order) and then whatever duties you owe on top of that will probably bring this close enough to Straton cost to make it worth the extra adder to just buy from ATI.

"In late 2001, California imposed a ban on the importation, sale, or possession of nine Caulerpa species; the City of San Diego expanded these regulations to include the entire genus." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22525994/ The new law signed by Newsom bans the entire genus of Caluerpa in...

Pic #2 is ostreopsis. Can be confirmed if you see it and it looks like it's rotating on an axis - like a rotisserie chicken.

Ran into my first problem, which I kind of knew would be a problem, but I was hoping for the best. Should have known better. Anyway, whoever at trigger designed these pipe holders needs to go back to the drawing board. 1. They used double thick acrylic I'm sure to ensure that there's less...

So like any good garage, mine is pitched to allow for water drainage. I didn't realize the tank would need to be shimmed this much. That being said, at least I found a new tool that I love. Air Shims. Made leveling this tank a breeze. Also put felt pads on a bunch of heavy furniture...

I do not have more tanks than you my friend. I may have more running, but not possible to have more total tanks than Tu's fish store.

That would be awesome if you had plans on coming up here. That was the only reason I had planned to head to the South Bay.

I'll be heading down in the morning and I can grab it if you want to meet at my place.

Now that it's plumbed and in its new home, I'm planning on filling it to leak test and start its cycle and will add heater, skimmer, UV, calcium reactor, fuge and lights after water is running. And now there's some water!

Introducing the latest to my flock of reef tanks. Why in the world do I need another? 150 Gallon Tank I picked up this tank from @CreAzn at the end of December and have finally got around to start setting it up. First thing was to get a new overflow. I'm not the biggest fan of Synergy Reefs'...

I'm in for two yellow tangs.

Also, Randy Holmes-Farley discusses forms of ammonium and amounts to dose here. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/diy-ammonia-dosing-for-low-nitrate-systems.987087/

Question regarding why it's recommended to dose oxolinic acid in the morning as oxolinic acid is sensitive to light like cipro. While, we don't know how much it actually degrades because of our LEDs (which don't have actual light in the UV spectrum), why not just assume it'd be better at lights...

Well, I'd have to say it's easy to misinterpret what you have said in your previous post.

I'd have to strongly disagree on this advice. Recommendations of just dipping in antibiotics is just not sound as it can led to antibiotic resistance. If you plan to treat with antibiotics, run a full treatment of several days to a week (or more) to ensure whatever you're actually trying to kill...

I'm not a fan of working with Muriatic acid for our purposes. I used to work with Hydrochloric acid in labs and that stuff is not to be messed with. I think the dangerous side of working with it far out weighs the benefits of it. Especially since there are much less caustic options out there...

Acros at night. Love popping on a dim blue light after the room has been dark for a few a hours to see crazy polyp extension on the acros.

First smooth one looks like a porcelain crab. Second is no bueno. Appears to be a gorilla crab.

XR15 & XR30 are the same screw.
