    Michael's 300 In Vegas

    Tank has been doing stuff. I have enough coral that it doesn't look empty, but definitely isn't full. The acantho and the mushroom leather have been doing great. While I was cleaning, I knocked one of the blue fromia starfish into the haddoni carpet. I very quickly pulled the starfish...

    Trident reagent usage question.

    I like the sweet spot of letting it change enough to make a difference, but not so much it can crash.

    Calcium Reactors

    Gallon plus sized dosing containers, and mixing a gallon at a time of 2 part is fast. You are just wanting to change it up, I know.

    Calcium Reactors

    Soda Ash Calcium Chloride BRS has it for only slightly more for the 5 gallon buckets. I have a hard time thinking this is more expensive than switching to a calcium reactor. And yeah, never pull with a pump. There was an engineering problem we solved in college that was effectively how high...

    New gel could boost reef restoration

    Was my thought when posting this, I bet he could reach out to them and try some given his experience and success with spawning. @Thales , have you heard of this? Does it seem like it could be of help for your spawning?

    Cool prospects to help coral breeding out of my alma matter https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/new-gel-could-boost-coral-reef-restoration?fbclid=IwY2xjawKR34BleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHuj7NFnLCwmnpOeZ1zw0ih_MtD4LzQrWew2ps0mpA-6A-jyswzP-D6u1hq49_aem_rWIF2kc7orZ9g9ZdrAYKTA

    Manufacturer that sells 60”Lx24”Wx20”H? Aqua Japan feedback?

    I learned this week that Gattaca is spelled with only letters from our dna, ATCG. Agree, eurobracing is great. Not only structural, but also functional.

    I was going to type something out about bone lengthening, but then thought, no, that's too silly to bring up. I should know our senses of humor overlap a lot. And yes, I saw a video on a guy who added 4" to his legs and it was a multi year painful process.

    Rich Ross tank tour photos

    I never fed live foods in my old system and got my sun polyps to spawn, so no you don't need live foods. I would occasionally add phyto, but not regularly.

    Get long tweezers, a step ladder, and take your shirt off and grab some goggles/mask for deep maintenance. Get the tall tank. I have a 30" tall tank on a 4' stand and love it. I shouldn't, but I do stand on the handle as a tall step to get deep in my tank. Some balance required, lol. Long...

    Food type, everything and lots of it. Frozen, flake, pellet, powdered coral foods and no worries on phosphates, just have enough coral coverage and herbivores. In his words "Feed everything with a mouth" which includes corals, pods and fish. Don't worry about additives, but some amino acids...

    Look at SCA aquariums too, I am really happy with my 120 from them. support@scaquariums.com SCA Tank For a non custom one close to what you want. The extra height is a plus in my mind, more room for the fish to swim over the rocks, which is what they like in the reef. Waterbox and IM are...

    Antibiotic Dipping Routine

    Reviving this thread because I have some brown jelly. Stupid Vegas move. (Never move houses or break down a tank if it is doing well, just tell your wife too bad and see how that works)...

    Tariffs, livestock and aquarium needs

    I do some consulting on the side these days and people ask about planning for the tariffs. I always tell them to wait 30 minutes and things might change. They seem to change faster than the weather out here.

    Regal tang

    I think this is another name for a blue tang. I had to look it up. Way to be obscure, haha!

    I expected an hour, it only took 45 minutes, lol I found I still needed to support the pieces when I used it for a while, but boy is that arch strong that I made with it.

    High speed video of herbivores eating

    Peter Wainwright, one of the researchers behind this video I am pretty sure is the son of my mom's major professor from Duke, Steve Wainwright, who specialized in fish locomotion. "Steve was an early founder of the field of biomechanics, which applies principles of mechanical engineering to...
