    Fed Rod's food and a bunch of LPS died

    Odd..I noticed this with a batch of Rods food I picked up as well...not with LPS, but with my carpet nem.. I've been feeding Rods to get my nutrients up and keep my CBB fed, but give the largest chunks to the nem every few days or so. One batch caused him to shrivel up all together on 3...

    Patrick's 81G - the last dance

    It's been one hell of a week. My daughter finished up her first year in college and needed to move out of her dorm till fall. Given that they had graduation ceremonies going on, they didn't want movers all over the place, so strict time frames were given to clear everything out. Since we're...

    LFS from Santa Barbara to the bay?

    Going to pick up my daughter from college today in Santa Barbara. Anyone got any recommendations on a good LFS along the way? Mainly looking for some nice sticks.

    9 footer disaster

    Red construction paper lining the bottom won't cause a pressure point and will easily show contrast if there is a leak. Off topic, with the recent threads going on about reefing OG's, @sfsuphysics has been around for as long as I could remember (the start of BAR) and has a wealth of...

    9 footer disaster

    Not a bad idea, but skip the fluorescent dye. Use plain non scented bleach (glows blue) or open up a vitamin B12 capsule and mix in (glows yellow). Both can be rinsed and once dry wouldn't be a threat. With a tank this long, I'd be cautious about propping it up on 2x4's. It's possible to...

    Derek's 225g - Magnifica / SPS Reef

    I used the PNS deep cycle one when cycling my tank. I soaked 2 Genesis blocks for a day and injected the rest in the substrate using an oral syringe. Below is a clip of my aquabiomics report before I added different types of live rock. 2 weeks before this sample was taken, the only bacterial...

    Alex’s IM 150 EXT

    Geo makes a nice reactor and recently released a smaller version for tanks < 200 gallons. Might be worth a look if your reactor shopping.

    ABC Reagents

    Nice! I do find myself burning through reagen A quite quick and purchase extra in addition to the combo set from ABC. Hopes to see it available in the future tho. Bummer that ABC is scaling down. I was hoping they would come out with reagents for the NP as well.

    That part I didn't know. I've seen it on SWA, but after seeing it was coralvue, figured it was for the hydros.

    ABC Reagents

    FYI Just got an email now stating that they will be transitioning their reagent sales to Coralvue. You would still be able to purchase the "just add water" kit directly, but once their stock is depleted that will be all that will be available. For anyone that uses these for their automatic...

    I should have ran the airline outside a long time ago. Since doing it, PH hasn't dropped below 8.0

    Recirculating Protein Skimmer

    Do they still make those? I ran an H&S recirculating skimmer outside of my sump. Loud as hell, but all there was back then was AC pumps. Once dialed in you can pretty much forget about it. I eventually switched it out to an ATI bubble master because of the heat generated by the pumps. They're...

    Custom hood maker recommendations

    Divorce would be the cheaper option...you have plenty of alcohol in the reference pic to get you through it.. JK Anyone know what happened to Max? He used to run a LFS out of san jo and did custom stands and hoods from us back then...

    Patrick's 81G - the last dance

    Purely space..things are starting to get cramped under the tank. I underestimated how much room I need for maintenance. Opening and closing the algae reactor, kalk reactor, or even calibrating the ph probes involves me getting in cramped spaces. Whatever I could relocate away and put of sight...
