Definitely think there should be some base standards around Dbtc. especially clarifying basic requirements for participation - beyond just a current member. And when/how the line gets jumped from those already in the original queue. I think some preference to those folks needs to be given for...

Wow. Sorry, man. That sucks. At least frag tank is ok.

another bad photo... doing well, though.

@Srt4eric - everything OK with your tank?

I mainly care about the survival of the coral, and that's why some DBTCers choose to post some pretty stiff rules. Getting in on a DBTC should be a benefit of showing that one has the capacity to care for the animal and having had demonstrable success with it's particular species. Posting...

I don't have a problem with it, but my goal of putting into DBTC is survival of the coral, and hence, I would be, and am, pretty specific on who can qualify. I see some distribution to folks without tank journals, and some relatively new tanks, too. not ideal homes for some high ends.... just...

Questions for my own edification, as I have several open DBTCs and caring for a couple from others as well. 1) Should the subsequent frags from a recipient follow the originators rules? 2) Should the subsequent frags give preference to those already on the list? 3) Or is / are the DBTC...

@jhuynh - lol. I know yours is a monster

Starting growth and fantastic color

I use RS Blue Bucket. Always a consistent mix for me. I run 36ppt and Alk @ 8.1-8.4.... What I like most about it is that there is not a lot of fuss with variability between batches

Bad pic, but colored up and encrusting

Here’s mamma after the move to new spot

The spirit of dbtc for me is after I buy coral I want to keep and grow it, I’d bank pieces with others and offer others frags as well. The point (for me) is actually being a net contributor. I get that there is a period of start up when one may take more, but at some point offer something...

That pinch is fully encrusted and getting knobby

Colony update

It supposed to….but Not that I‘ve noticed- but I do dose neophos to stay at .01

darn! I plopped a few hundred down on stuff from there just yesterday.... oh well.

Both! my pH always languished - I was only ever able to eek out over 8.2 with the windows open and whole-house fan chugging, but not when house was sealed up when we're all home. With summer here (and potential bad air quality keeping us from opening the house up), I wanted a different way to...

Been a while since I posted - recent renovations include an avast kalk reactor from @svreef and a second DOS to feed it. I’ve had a single DOS for just Alk and calcium, so now the 2nd DOS is controlling Mag and Kalk. really nice punch in pH, and dialing in Alk and calcium with the addition of...
