    green algae

    I do not know anything about this LFS in Oakland, but I know High Tide Aquatics. And I highly (!) recommend you buy your saltwater from Kenny / @under_water_ninja . He is selling actual ocean seawater (filtered) at a reasonable price. I believe he is selling RODI water too.

    Serious plumbing question - how to connect a RO membrane drain hose under the sink

    I wanted to confirm something with the plumbing experts. Is it correct that I mount all of this (picture) on the pipe, and then drill through the opening a hole into the pipe?

    Anyone used this salt before?

    I know some folks here love some good nostalgia - anyone used this salt before?

    New Controllers from the AquaWiz builders - Super Brain Controller

    Red Sea is a red flag for me, but it looks like their dosing pumps are proprietary. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

    green algae

    I assume you tested your salinity - how did you test this? Where did you get your RODI water from and how exectly to do you make saltwater? Adding clean and correct saltwater (and RODI) to your tank is what matters the most. If this is not ensured, forget everything else (although I agree on...

    RSVP by 10/31 for the 11/2 SUNDAY frag swap in San Jose!

    I am only celebrating him when I get to enter this Elite sub-club :), which gets even more high end with the super-ulta swap - btw, @derek_SR does a CC Disney jr qualify? Seriously though, kudos to Derek and Vice Chair Tim!

    New Controllers from the AquaWiz builders - Super Brain Controller

    Overall, it is good for the controller market to get some competition. Paying 300 USD for a few controllable plugs (XP8), or the same amount for a decent doser (Sole), seems rather high, so I thought it was good to see a third alternative. The dosers on the AquaWiz are Kamoer, which I have not...

    I was referring to the Maven specifically.

    [pending] Free snails

    I can take all of them, but happy if someone else wants them. I cannot pick them up until later evening today though.

    Well, speaking of being expensive…:).

    New Controllers from the AquaWiz builders - Super Brain Controller

    Well, did you see what is all included? Auto testers, dosing, controller including power plugs. If it works it is a really good price. It is to me what Reefi did with the lights. Question will be is it ok to be invested with expensive equipment into such a small company.

    New Controllers from the AquaWiz builders - Super Brain Controller

    Thanks for the link! Just for clarification - I never said it was made by Fauna. Also, It is from Taiwan, not China. But you might still be correct that is 'made' in China. That, I do not know.

    New Controllers from the AquaWiz builders - Super Brain Controller

    I am getting more and more interested in this company. They seem to be able to develop good quality products at a reasonable price. Everything I heard from folks who use the AquaWiz is positive, except maybe the noise it makes when it tests. Their new line is now a Hydros competitor, which...

    Alex’s Red Sea Reefer Nano (28-gallon)

    I have been dosing both tanks but not daily, and mostly the frag tank. I always feel corals do better in the frag tank and attribute this to coral wow, since the rest is similar. Unfortunately, there is a recommendation to not dose this if your nutrients are above 20 nitrate and or 0.2 mg/L...

    Looking for some part time work? Reef Beef is looking....

    Making money vs losing money from being in the hobby is a nice twist.

    Great venue too. I believe it is now my favorite swap venue.

    DBTC RRC Goldenrod Anacropora

    Probably not a great place to ask this question, but how much PAR and flow do you all give this one? Mine grew quite nicely since I got a frag from @ReyDeFarts, but I never know what it actually likes best FYI - It fell off the rock into the sand a few weeks ago and did not have a place to...

    Coral ID - Which coral is this? Update: Montipora spongodes [for now…]

    This name was actually no joke :). Someone who knows a ton about corals suggested that. But I think it does not quite look like mine.

    Coral ID - Which coral is this? Update: Montipora spongodes [for now…]

    The saga continues…. But folks, I have already printed this on the fancy label Casey recommended, so it is a monitpora spongodos right now, but still happy to entertain the discussion :)
