Frag Tank An update on this mariculture piece. This thing is super hairy. Bright green polyps with a bright hot pink/fuchsia flesh. I've started calling this "The Hairy Pinky" June 24, 2025 Here's a another shot of it with the polyps a little retracted showing the hot pink flesh goes through...

Wow! You guys are clearly reaching and have no clue what you're talking about. Clearly it's that one head is exposed to more CO2 than the other head and has a bubble of localized pH drop surrounding it.

I'm hoping this thing goes vertical soon. Colors are good and it continues to encrust, Need it to start sprouting some branches. June 20, 2025 May 23, 2025

I've seen the two of them on the glass two maybe three times. Rest of the time they're in the sand.

You and your family polluted the air with your respiration.

Ever see a Giant Knobby Creeper? I picked up two of them a month or so ago. They stayed buried in the sand most of the time it seems. Hopefully they're nocturnal and do a lot of work on the sand while I'm sleeping. They look like a big ass cerith...

Grippers are easy to find, been using them for a while. Saltwateraqaurium.com and BRSsells them. https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/32-5-coral-gripper-83-mm-maxspect/?searchid=7564957&search_query=Coral+gripper...

While I get that it's better to be consistent, 5 gallons of rodi water added to 150 gallons isn't gonna do any damage really, especially if it happened over a two week timeframe. Your salinity probably was somewhere between 1.024-1.025 in the end. And if your tank sitter refilled 2 gallons, it...

This is complete no proof of evidence and internet fodder ;) , but I actually stopped feeding frozen foods a long while ago because vibrio (and most other bacteria) cannot be killed by freezing. So regardless of freezing or having a "cleaner environment" for processing fish, if there is any bad...

That Goni looks familiar! Nice job growing that sucker out!

Aren't you on vacation? Which means no one is poisoning your house/tank with CO2? ;)

I meant co2 scrubber. Not specific to carx.

Aquatic Collection got some pitho crabs in today so I picked some up this morning to add more to the tanks. Here's one of them in QT already munching on some bubble algae covered rocks I threw in there.

I don't use kalk. I tried once, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference for me, but I don't have much evaporation, so I wasn't able to comfortably put more kalk-laced top off water in the tank. I think you can mitigate the pH decrease other ways. A secondary reactor will help. You can...

This is not metal halide as much as the marketing claims. Visibly it may produce a visible color like metal halide to our eyes, but it is missing quite a bit of UV-A compared to what metal halides produced. Does it matter? Maybe, maybe not. Photosynthesis can, in general, take advantage of UV-A...

I just ordered this to give it a try. https://a.co/d/1zJX8x1

I usually always have chaeto available. PM to arrange a pick up time.

I have a Vectra M2 pump...will that help? :p

There should be. Two people have requested and there are (were) five bags. I always have some extra chaeto though between all the tanks.
