    Polo Reef by Andrew Sandler's nightmare

    He has tons of videos and I would honestly say mostly very interesting. Lots of money of course. Yet he approaches things from scientific stand point not the rich guy mo. He gives scholarships and often invites avg reefers to his place for tours. It's like a full-blown aquarium at his place...

    Could use some expert guidance on hammers

    Also not a great practice to change things to make one coral happy switching light out put for one coral effects everything. One happy and piases off everything else. For single corals adjusting placement is often the prefered option. You may not notice a difference from moving them for a week...

    Could use some expert guidance on hammers

    I find a sweet spot for hammers to be 100-160, torches 120 even up to 3-400 (though they need to be slowly raised up to higher pars) From the picture torches look happy, I only worry about flow in this instance seeing how close they are to the wave maker. You want indirect flow, nothing...

    Torch order came in rough, advice?

    Do they increase the credit if the rest dies? How some places are today it's a point in their favor that they replied and seem to be trying to make things right. Hopefully the rest makes it.

    L/F leads on a possible frag swap location?

    From all the responses we have a hand full of indoor options that are Good possibilities. In addtion to brisbane still being a slight possibility just not confirmed. My goal is that we can lock in a date within 2 weeks.

    L/F leads on a possible frag swap location?

    Yea, I didn't mean to imply It's good in heat. I like the picnic outdoor swap idea, maybe we table that thought for late in the year when it cools off again. Right now we have cool days, and hot days no way at all to guess what the weather would be like on a future planned date. So pretty risky...

    Torch order came in rough, advice?

    Could you explain their use for treatiing euphyllia and torches. I was told it should help for bj. I would take it as a honest opportunity to learn something.

    Torch order came in rough, advice?

    Yea bj is no joke I lost half of two tanks of euphyllia from it. I only stopped it by literally throwing away everyone that showed the slightest sign of bj. I tried different dips but had no luck personally. All that to say beyond everything don't add that to any tank with euphyllia or torches...

    Bugs on octospawn and hammers - Need help

    By the size of white bugs if they lay eggs (I didn't bother to look it up) I imagine they would be so tiny that your naked eyes probably would be incapable of seeing them.

    Real Reef Rock

    Lol some truth there. I would suggest going with Marco rock before this crap though. It just sucks if that's all your starting with. Given enough time and proper conditions any of the rocks will work though it might take longer to turn the corner.

    Need identification of this worm

    I personally hate how bristle worms look yuck. But my main sps tank has them and well that tank has no alage cyano issues etc. Only a few dots of bubble alage from introducing corals with it. Compared to my other tanks it's pristine. My 210 to my knowledge has zero. I was extremely care to...

    Anyone have a Neptune Apex EL head unit I can borrow?

    Hopefully you were able to get one of them working? I assume so by your last post.

    L/F leads on a possible frag swap location?

    I wouldn't say de Anza would be out of budget yet, doing quick math in my head counting tables chairs, fee for event baseline, the hourly rental rate and adding parking, even more if they would force us to hire a police officer. It would likely be at the high end in terms of price adding...
