    How do you lower Nitrates

    20g Nano Mixed Reef

    The immortal tort is definitely tough. Mine died halfway after getting stung while I was on vacation, got covered in cyano and hair algae, but still ended up recovering and growing branches really fast. Keep an eye on the money cowries. When they find a place they like to lay eggs, they can...

    What would you do? Blue Clove Polyps

    Never saw these until the Aussie shipments started coming in around 2008-09. Hard to see but zoom into the left scoly. You can see how they start to encroach and kill tissue after a few months:

    I used to freeze the jug of the Vitamix in addition to the ice cubes, it helps a bit.

    Looks like they don't include postage, how much does it usually cost to ship without a return label? Couldn't find their address to check.

    Fairly similar to the old pappone recipe I brought back from Italian reefers in 2006: https://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=971190&page=30 The big thing was to use fresh ingredients if possible (just to minimize freeze thaws). I think the capelin roe I added to the recipe later on...

    Solving Bubble Algae and Aiptasia Issue in Nano Reef Tank?

    Never had issues here with peppermints and LPS. I have had issues back in the day with camels sold as peppermints however. Kenny has had the right ones every time. They generally show up as bycatch for crabs in the Caribbean in the winter months.

    Need a copperband that's eating prepared foods?

    Kenny has a TON of them that he QTed and are eating prepared foods. Plus a bunch of other fish I don't normally see. Grabbed a tiny Halicoheres chrysus.
