Not a proud moment but on 9/21 I hit 1.8 meq/L. I would not have know unless I tested, the tank looked normal, even the trickier corals. Upped the lime water dose (I should take better notes than screenshots lol...) and got to 2.4 by the following week. Last Saturday back to a more comfortable...

Thanks for the clarification! The fewer the better I feel. I am like a moth to a flame with these type of posts and it just freaks me out.

This one was posted today. Maybe someone will ask for pic of serial # after they get a handle on livestock and cleanup.

That is great to hear. Does your rep know how many of the G1s failed that were reported? Or how many warranties exercised? I imagine they may not be allowed or want to mention that information but the answer would be very interesting.

Kalamazoo did a video as well

It seems another just popped up on r2r just now. Has not burst yet but sand down in the seam.

Miss that spot. Tank looks great!

Was it Dong Zou?! I think i recall that as well.

Agree on the algae suppression biggie. There are many times over the years when my clean up crew can't take care of what algae is in the tank. While things are good now, that can change at any moment... A few times a year I siphon out a bunch during water changes. It seems like more appear the...

I like the asterinas I have and am also enjoying not having to deal with coralline algae. Harlequin are very cool. My long time reefing buddy Pete always kept them so I would get my fix visiting his tank (same with his anemones). What are some drawbacks to not having coralline? I hear people...

Curios what y'all think. While I do not seem to have visible typical coralline algae anywhere in my tank, I do have urchins and many many asterina starfish. I used to think- look at me not having to feed alk & cal to coralline algae (pats self on back), its all going to coral instead. But then...

Thanks tribbitt. I say the same about your nice Fox coral. Don't see those too often.

Will do! The purp stylo is wining the race and shading more and more out. Need to do it sooner than later. I would like to share these hammer frags as well. Don't think I am making the swap but can help someone out who needs frags or anyone who just wants a nice hardy hammer in their tank.

Some blue top downs during water change. The way my lighting is setup I don't get to see the tort colors from the front view. Hoping to add more light to the front angling toward the back to help.

Does this mean vigorously stirring is not the problem? Sorry for all the thinking out loud.lol I can't wrap my head around not having a solution for keeping saturation.

I was thinking more stirring mixing. A few years ago I heard some people adding zip ties up the shaft of the mix bar. That is pretty crude diy though. I wonder if adding a more permanent paddle (like plane prop) higher up the shaft could help solve the vigorous stirring problem. That I don't...

Vigorous mixing seems like a solvable problem but like you mention there are other ways to consistent alk delivery. Did you give it another shot after correcting stirring duration?

What do you think is driving the loss in potency?

Spiralina? Is there such thing as gut loading brine? the brine carrying the nutrition value in its appealing to the fish body? It was common to gut load feeders when I was breeding reptiles back in the day. I sometimes feed frozen hikari spiralina mysis and brine assuming its gut loaded with...

If I don't kill it, I hope to share! Had our first kid 2 months ago and thought why not get a celebratory frag.
