https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/a-macro-cube.39536/#post-565284 Thought I posted the link earlier. The alk swing could definitely come from bacteria consuming it due to a new tank. when the ato failed I tested prior to adding rodi and then over the course of hours brought it back...

In the past month, I’ve had 8 hour power outage, alkalinity swing from 9.5 to 7 over three days, heater outage for three days, low nitrates, and a young tank. I feel like the general conclusion is just too early for torches and stressful events

https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/a-macro-cube.39536/#post-565284 I had advice to do corals only first and added a bi color blenny a month ago, and my nitrates have been consistently near zero despite feeding daily brine shrimp, oyster feast, live phytoplankton. The tank is young, and...

I also dosed a half dose of aqua forest reef mud before this all happens and got a Dino bloom

There hasn’t been any jelly coming out of them just straight melting. I do have an inkbird it was just switched off at the outlet on accident. Somewhat of a mystery on how. I have Red Sea for nitrates and it’s a new kit. I have old reagents for a Hanna but haven’t used it

Also I do have an inkbird with titanium heater. Either the outlet switch was bumped off before I left or when the ato module fell off the wall and knocked it off. Either way was off for a few days but cold isn’t as big of a killer as heat

I have one head that is threatening to also die off. Id did seem to spread to the torches one by one. Should I try to dip it with iodine, coralrx, h2o2?

Hi I have had multiple torches melt, there’s been a few factors of alk swings (from 9 to 7 over 3 days) while I was away, since then I set up a doser to stabilize it and have been still dialing the daily alk. I also had a heater failure off while I was away and left the tank around 66 for...

Tank has been settling in decently with corals, macro and a bicolor blenny. I do notice my euphyilia tend to close up after the peak photo period then reopen a couple hours later. I dropped the peak blue, uv channels by 10% and seemed to improve that. I think I’m going to up the flow rate...

I received some advice to add corals first (already added 8 macro algaes) before fish. Any thoughts on this advice? I’m hoping to get some torch, hammer, frogspawn, acans but am wary of BJD in a new tank. I have enough experience that I definitely do not want gsp, cloves, Kenya tree or zoas.

Stand first with a shrimp tank on it. Shrimp got a custom wood stand

I also got lucky to find a perfect 18”x18”x18” cube tank used. Thanks, I’ll take the sponge out. Anything I should use in place of a sponge?

I want some corals as well, the canister is just sponge, ceramic media for added bacteria area. I found that marble stand on the streets of SF for free!

Hi BAR! Been a while since my last tank which was short lived, hoping to keep this one for longer. Equipment: fluval 207 Ai hydra 32 Mp10 Inkbird 200w titanium Trying to keep a minimal build with macro algae, LPS!

The BODs job is absolutely to help manage the organization. That includes being mediators when members have a disagreement on the rules. I don't expect the BOD to sit on the forum all day but when hot threads come up they should be discussed and remedied. Apologies I had confused a member with...

DBTC Full Tank Sale OP here, a couple points I'd like to touch on since this in an important conversation to keep the club healthy. I served on Central Valley Reefers BOD for 3 years acting as events organizer and president. I am extremely familiar with the politics of reef forums. First I...
