Some awesome stuff there

Also every time nutrients go through a cycle it gives the skimmer another chance to remove them as they go through their skimmable phases. Whether by stimulating uptake with iron (basically always rate limiting) or carbon (usually rate limiting) or photosynthesis (also usually rate limiting...

Yeah I’ve heard Chris talk about that, and at one of our events at High Tide earlier this year I asked him about it directly. He definitely seems to think it’s a good approach. I may try the Fenbendazole flakes at some point for the clove polyps I have. It seems kind of risky for everything else...

Those look similar to what I have. Unfortunately pretty common. I didn’t think they were a big deal when I had them as long as you have. They are a slow burn.

I tried blue cloves when they were cool a lot of years ago. They spread a little locally and looked nice (IMO) for a year or so then died off, don’t know why. This was a long time ago, way before I joined BAR. Now I have these brown or tan clove polyps. They are much smaller and not pretty. I...

Do you have personal experience? From what I’ve heard it kills other stuff you want like snails and other inverts. I’m considering it anyway.

About 100% worse

Is that your combo of 3 types of pods or what is it? Is that the pod density we should expect or is it diluted for packaging?

What do you guys think about the 2 different aquabiomics tests? One tests bacteria and archaea and the other tests eukaryotes. Each is $99. I guess I find it somewhat annoying that if you are trying to get a picture of what’s going on in your tank or troubleshoot issues, you’d be getting both...

To each his own. I respectfully disagree on both points. That was my point. A deal you can’t or don’t realistically get is worse than if it never existed. It used to be very common for retailers to do these loss-leaders and true door-busters with people lining up and knocking other shoppers...

It’s not a good deal if you have to get there an hour before they open to get it and people coming during business hours can’t

Door dash from High Tide is not a bad idea…

It’s not far off from 50% off. 15% off for being on CoralVue Outlet, plus 30% off for Black Friday, stacked.

I swear a couple days ago I saw one of the major online retailers offer a 5g bucket of Red Sea salt for free with $400 purchase. But now that I’m ready to buy something that would qualify, I don’t see the deal anymore. Maybe it was a time limited thing or maybe I imagined it. Does anyone know if...

I like health care benefits…

I test alkalinity 4 times a day and Ca/Mg once a day

I’ve been using ABC Reagents for my Triton. One of the things I like about them is they would sell ABC packs but also A or B/C separately. Very handy since I use more A than B/C (test 4x as often). Now they (he) decided to distribute through CoralVue rather than sell direct for the pre-made...

Yeah when it comes to long term maintenance, there are easy/fun things you’ll do and difficult/annoying things you won’t.

GFCI is required. I think we all agree on that. Moving on. Adding a Grounding probe likely has no significant additional effect, positive or negative. But negative scenarios are more likely. A small electrical leak in the tank with no grounding probe (very high resistance) will cause stray...

Right. I use other salts sometimes if I have them on hand so I have to clean some then. I’m using a grey brute for mixing so I’m possibly blissfully ignorant compared to using a white brute. But either way I don’t think it matters much. My impression when I see a film of junk is that it’s more...
