Regarding the dangers of this chemical, I work with 50% NaOH daily. So PPE is a must and understood. Maybe I'm not as worried about it because I'm around it so much everyday.
The diluted solution was 1:10 100mL 50% NaOH/1000mL RODI
@Darkxerox it is an exothermic reaction. It's actually safer...
I am curious if anyone here is using the recipe(s) suggested by folks like Randy Holmes-Farley for using Lye or Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH). Although it is possible to make your own solution from commonly available powder, I have access to 50% Caustic Soda. I created my own diluted solution tonight...
I can cut you a piece. Getting it into your hands is the hard part.
I was thinking about cutting this into a few frags anyway. Should we start a DBTC for this piece? Does this have potential to be something truly unique? IDK

Glad you're happy with it. Those have been very hardy. Let me know if you need another one should something happen to it, since I know gonis have been challenging in your DT.
Hard to ID. But from what I have seen, it doesn't appear to be dinos to me.
I'm dealing with some slimy brown stuff in one of my systems too. I need to stop being lazy and bring out the microscope.
One day too late :confused: Sorry BAR. I tried to get it here on time. It's a couple bags of Reef Roids, 2 bottles of Polyp Booster, 2 packages of glue, and 2 shirts.
Thank you @Thales for helping me get in touch with Phil from PolypLab. Next year, we will get in touch with them earlier.

Geez... it has been quite some time since I updated this journal. @tribbitt gave me a gentle nudge to post an update.
I've been focused on so much other stuff in life and for the club that I ended up ignoring this thread. The tank has been doing ok for most of 2025. Mostly on cruise control as...
I would like a frag of this one.
@jstiltne, @FooFtr, @MichaelB, @Adauqua, @JustinBolton, @Krak256, @dochou, @PhotoSniper, @Raj Gill, @Kenzo, @ReyDeFarts, have requested a frag.
