    biome shift?

    So after my incident last summer where the avast had dumped an entire container of food, many NEW SPS have not thrived and in fact many times they RTN within a week. Even Pavona! My OG SPS corals that survived seem to be just fine and growing. Some new SPS that have been put in the...

    Optimizing recirc CO2 scrubber (or rather stop high humidity destroying the CO2 media) -with poll!

    I do find that a CO2 scrubber much more effective for my tank than kalk -or rather due to the CO2 abundance -kalk is fairly ineffective unless I really add in a lot which then causes alk swings and salinity issues. However my attempts to create a recirc CO2 scrubber system has met some...

    Does anyone have an avast stirrer? If so -does your stirrer drip during periods when you are not dosing-or if you resolved -how so? I have one currently not in use but I took it out of commission due to this issue. But with low PH issues I am rethinking that..but that drip.. TIA.

    Thank you Patrick for rescaping the scape

    Long story short I wanted to say thanks to @HankDean V for rescaping my tank. I have a couple pics before/after (labeled) but the pics do not do it justice. Just a lot more real estate for SPS/acros plus a lot more caves for the fish to hang out. Time to start adding in corals again!
