    Redsea stand door pop thingys

    I bought a 10 pack of these to replace two of mine on the S-1000, not sure if they're the same size for yours. The pop out was a tad short so I had to add sticky bumper on the door to reliably activate the pop out thingy...

    DBTC: Appleberry Montipora Capitata

    Trace elements, it's what corals crave! (Idiocracy reference) It only gets the yellow/green tips during periods of explosive growth. Otherwise it's just blue skin, even with moderate growth.

    I have a 2.5ft long 1/4" diameter fiberglass rod that I use to smash the small ones without needing to stick my hands in the tank. It might not always kill them if you only breaks the tip, but it stunts their growth enough that they are no longer a problem for me. The stick is also handy for...

    The Mangrove Jungle

    Welp, down to 6 babies after being out of town for four days :( I dumped in a ton of baby brine shrimp in hopes that it would sustain them but didn't help. From reading the guide that I got from the breeder, having too much food available can actually lead to poor nutrition. Their digestion...

    Black Friday reefing deals/purchases?

    25% off Squidgly tongs with white tips. Bought two, 36" and 16" with different tips, so will see how good these are. I really like how the tips are interchangeable and can articulate to get into tight crevices and under corals. https://www.squidgly.com/

    Welcome back! Let me know when u want to start adding coral and I'll frag you a bunch. Got pictures inside the dresser? What's the dimensions of the dresser and dimensions of the tank? There'll be ways to reinforce it but may come at the cost of drawer functionality.

    Very pregnant sexy shrimp

    I would think they'd hatch as free swimming larva. When I've had hermit crabs, cleaner shrimp, and pithos crab spawn, it's usually thousands of tiny swimming larva that get released at night. By end of the next day they're usually gone. Either eaten, sucked into the filters, or hiding somewhere...

    The Mangrove Jungle

    I got some tisbe pods but they're really fast to scatter compared to baby brine which hover and are easier for the seahorses to eat. I still have plenty more that I'm supplementing with. Hm didn't realize there's live decapsulated eggs. I always thought those didn't hatch anymore because of the...

    The Mangrove Jungle

    Day 5: I estimated about 30 babies after scooping up all that I could find. Since then, I've lost 10 so the population is shrinking. I didn't do any culling for underdeveloped or deformed ones since I don't have the expertise to identify them at the time of birth. They breath a lot of air at the...

    Aquatic Collection has a good deal on IO salt and no limit I don't know by how much, but to mitigate it you can drip the effluent into a refugium for algae to uptake the excess CO2 or drip into a skimmer intake to gas off.

    From my understanding, the full auto carx mix and only feed in fully co2 saturated water into the reaction chamber which is a very low 6.0. You just need to set your effluent rate to get the desired alkalinity. On a normal carx you're adjusting the bubble count while balancing it with...

    I'm currently at 6L of kalk and my Octo CR200 carx running 40ml/min, so maybe 60% capacity. When I calculated it versus the ATI essentials pro 2-part I was using, its about 2 years to recoup the cost. Plus if u decide to discontinue using a carx you can recoup some of the cost by selling it vs...

    The Mangrove Jungle

    It happened. Woke up to a bunch of babies swimming at the surface this morning. This time I had an acclimation box and net ready to get separate them. Fired up the brine shrimp hatchery but I might try to stop by the LFS to get some live copepods to feed them in the meantime. I tried frozen baby...
