Think I can probably make this one!

I’ve got a chunky Hawkins frag to replace it for you patrick if you need one.

I'm sure it's gone already, assuming your system is producing some po4 for it to have bound to (and if it isn't...you don't need to worry about managing it in the first place). I am using even less LaCl than @Thales - a 10:1 RODI:LC dilution, but only about 4ml of this per day, spread across 4...

Agree w/ @Alexander1312 , I had extremely elevated lanthanum levels due to an accident and my corals were perfectly fine (I think it was like 250+ ug/l - so several orders of magnitude greater than your result). Everything was fine, actually, except my yellow tang died. That being said, if you...

I think I want to do this too - then I can keep some clams without exposing them to the mantis shrimp and CBB in the DT.

More spread is always better, but as far as the actual intensity - it's perfectly fine. Some acros might prefer more (though not all) but they aren't going to die because of 300ish PAR. I also have mushrooms / LPS that have adapted to 300-500 PAR levels and are happy and growing just fine...

I am also using this - not really sure when to replace it, though. How are you testing for chloramines @Alexander1312 when I was on this road before, I could not really find a reliable test for chloramines - so I got the monster carbon filter and slapped it in my system upstream of the membranes...

Then go ahead and enter it in the sheet for us to vote on it :) I suspect something like a single head of dragon soul or green and purple frog spawn will not get confirmed as ultra - but won’t know unless we vote

Updated the initial post w/ the current list of confirmed Ultra corals - still voting! Some interesting items that have fallen to bonus and will NOT be Ultra this swap: Oregon Tort (too many at last swap prob?) GMK Zoa (definitely too many at last swap) JF Fox Flame (!?) ARC Master Yoda / RR...

The BOD decided we should make an official update to Mike's @Coral reefer old DBTC rules post (found here: https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/dbtc-info-rules.23030). I am going to unsticky Mike's old post (thank you Mike!) and sticky this one - until the next big update. For information...

The point of me saying "BOD hat off" is to indicate that my opinions are not necessarily the same as other members of the BOD. We are a group of individuals and don't always have the same opinion or the same vision on these topics, and my comment is an effort to be clear about that. You are...

As a hobbyist I am in agreeance with the sentiments of Randy, Tu, and Edgar. What Ed is doing is not meaningfully different from the group buys that Arnold has run in the past that everyone seemed to be perfectly fine with. I suspect the concerns from the LFS here have little to do with ethics...

Where are you located? You should make a tank journal! (and become a Supporting Member :) )

Cell phone shots Morning blue: Full spectrum w/ T5s:

On this we can agree!

Because I have high flow and plenty of those trace elements. A better question is how do YOU know that it IS the root cause? With the enormous complexity in these tanks - do we really think "low flow and a couple low trace elements" is sincerely the true root cause of something that exists in...

Ah, if only that were true! Unfortunately it is not. At least not in my tank.

Great - so now we just need to understand the root cause of Cyano ;) :p

I used chemiclean not long ago (@H2OPlayar method), and did an Aquabiomics test before and after. My Cyano disappeared and and there was no impact to my biome results (still extremely high diversity after the treatment) other than the Cyano fell off the report. I also noticed that my acropora...

Are we doing a separate check in table for bonus/ultra corals? I can do that again.
