Looks great. Is this the one you used the medication on (cannot remember the name)?

Can I have this? Or borrow this for a side project I am working on?

Hydrogen peroxide is a good recommendation to get rid of the coralline algae, did not think of this, thanks! Will need to look at this again when I take it out, thanks for pointing this out.

Seems isolated to this one, which I have the longest though.

Same as Eric, I am mixing everything I have, several types of flakes, several sizes of TDO, reef jerky, Fauna pellets, and other pellets. But maybe you should not listen to me, since my nutrients are rather high. I feed this mix 4 times a day for 1 minute (plus seaweed plus frozen) - used to...

Yes, not brown jelly. More like a brown paper type of fungus.

I have had a NY Nick's Torch for about 1.5 years or longer. It opens up fully, etc., but it has already lost two heads (slowly over several months). A brown fungus and coralline are growing towards the heads from its base. The picture below was taken after much of the fungus had been scraped...

Cheapest sulfamic acid I found which seemed reasonably clean - needed to wait a little to get it, but a great deal. 10g for 500ml of water. https://ebay.us/m/wAicBG

My immediate reaction is no - the only probe I am not interested in due to a lack of reliability and high cost. However, yours was 8 years old, and 200 USD for 8 years' performance is an excellent deal - if this probe was reasonably accurate until a month ago? Was it?

You are a genius. I would not have guessed that. I think I should stop rushing through these installs next time. I just saw the arrows and thought this was meant to be the flow direction. Thank you for the explanation!

I have also now found a suitable media reactor for my Phos 0.04 media. Similar to activated carbon, which I run 24/7, it is recommended to run this adsorber mix with a maximum of 50 gallons per hour (25-50 gallon/h). It is super easy to find a high flow setup, but low flow has been much harder...

This is them eating dandelions immediately once put into the water:

I was able to find a skimmer setting which seems to work rather well (continues to skim wet, but that’s ok). Connecting it to the Hydros port allowed to find a sweet spot at 60% pump speed. Water level is 8 inch, but the dial is still set slightly below 2, hence the wetter skimming. Nitrate has...

I am using two 35-inch for a 47-inch long tank.

Will try that next.

So the freshly home-grown organic dandelions are now a hit with the problematic yellow tang, and she is eating a lot (as well as other food) since we started feeding this. The foxface and yellow tang can eat several leaves within less than an hour, so we are struggling to keep up with the supply...

I am impressed by your plumbing skills. And love the skimmer you are planning to use.

How many more shops do you guys need in SJ? It’s not like 95% of all the shops are already located there :).

I have removed this piece of live rock from my aquascape today (switch with a branch). I got this from KP aquatics previously and it does house a rather large crab (I cannot get it out of its cave). I keep it in a bucket of saltwater but should be picked up ASAP as I do not have enough space in...

Good idea. LRS food is the first thing that comes to mind. Fauna Marin products - salt, KH, CA, traces 1-3; Will think of more.
