I just fragged mine if you need one.

Booked!

I discovered I was one of the offenders using these bastards a few months back. Held on to them to give them away as freebies but realized we’d all suffer for it. So to the landfill they go! My apologies if you got one, I switched to Nathan’s @Coral Hub (Nathan) plugs a while back.

If you can’t trust it, what’s the point really?

I’m sure you know this but nori contains a lot of iodine. Mine usually tests high on ICP mostly because of this, I think. Although maybe it’s also in my pellets or something (mostly TDO).

In my experience, zoa "gardens" become 1-2 zoas that kind of take over. Just FYI in case you have some you really like on there.

I actually would love a couple clams, but last time I added one it got eaten by something. My guess is the mantis shrimp. I also have a CBB that would probably eat it...?

Trouble growing dandelions?!? I've got a lifetime supply in my backyard...I can frag some up for you. Maybe start a DBTC. :cool: Grandpa is doing great btw! And there ARE 2x yellow tangs in my DT now. Perhaps they will pair up (unsure of their sex).

Right? I knew it can't just be me with this feedback. The old version was honestly just better in every single way...ugh! Having to deal with the cable management every time is a nightmare. That cord is so stiff in the channel it's a non-trivial task.

If your plank is older you almost certainly have the older style pump assembly - consider yourself lucky, as I really dislike the new ones. I think the dial is an over-complication and I've already broken both of mine (the junction between the extended tube thingy and the main dial). Because...

I see some very happy corals in there! Awesome tank

Capitalist swine!

This is how I am thinking about it. I think the folks who can't make sense of Carx just don't have a tank that demands one yet. They never made much sense to me either until my tank got to the point where I am now having to dump enormous amounts of liquid (kalk, alk, ca) into the tank every...

Any strip light that uses heatsinks instead of fans (which I think is basically all of them? not sure about the AI blade - do they have fans?) is going to have a similar disclaimer concern. The heat has to go somewhere, regardless of the light. They all produce heat!

The build quality of the Quanta Helix bars is very good, and they come with an excellent power supply. Not a big fan of the white spectrum light (just sold mine) but the meso blues ones are pretty great, I have 2x 71" over my tank. No need to fuss with ramping on supplemental lighting IMO -...

Wow 100 bucks for a PH probe!

I don't really use kalk to save money (and am not really a huge fan of it myself in general) I use it so that I can refill my ATO way less often and refill my 2part jugs way less often - both are tedious chores. I would never in a million years use kalk if I had it in anything smaller than a 40g...

I didn't want to introduce too much science into this thread, but 8.6 PH is practically impossible without sky high alk (like 20+) or some other major manipulation of Co2 levels inside the tank. So this doesn't surprise me :) glad you figured it out.
