    Best way to “squirt kalk paste” ?

    I have invasive orange discasoma mushrooms that I've been managing at best. Majano Wand melts flesh on contact but you need to really swirl it around and hit them multiple days consecutively to prevent them from growing back. Not highly effective at killing infestations off, but good enough to...

    SPS Encrustation thoughts

    Same experience with "dragon" type acros. All mine have grown from tiny frags to colonies and barely encrust. My poto golden dragon (a. derawanensis?) and needle in haystack (a. carduus) colonies move around if I touch them. I'm afraid of them toppling over when the colony gets bigger.

    Auger aquarium feeder

    Love it! I'm definitely interested in buying/printing one out. I'm going to try to build a stand/enclosure and chute for it. I'm thinking of keeping the feeder in a side cabinet and have the food go down a chute that leads directly to my return pump intake. This is to not have more stuff mounted...

    Rubbermaid Slim Jim 23gal for Water Change?

    I used two slim 23g for water changes on my old tank. One to mix sw the other to drain. They do bulge a bit when full so I wouldn't store water in them long term. For water changes they worked perfectly fine

    How do you lower Nitrates

    Very interesting. Any plans or guidance you've seen on changing out the sand every x number of years? I remember a big drawback, which moved the trend away from DSBs, was the potential of getting disturbed and releasing a mass of toxins.

    How do you lower Nitrates

    Most gonis were pissed off. The XXX goni that has grown very well for me and have made dozens of frags off of still doesn't extend all the way and there's a patch that died off. Big colony of green tip, also grown from a frag, is nearly white. Other gonis had receding flesh. Bubblegum digi...

    How do you lower Nitrates

    I'm currently on this quest as well when my nitrates hit 60 and phosphate 0.9 a couple months ago and my corals started suffering. This hit me out of nowhere because historically my tank has been low nutrients without much filtration, only skimmer. So far in the past 2 months I've added a filter...

    What would you do? Blue Clove Polyps

    Do they detach and spread around the tank? Or just encrust from the mother colony? Do they spread on sand? Heh i might be interested in some for the macroalgae tank. I don't have a lot of rock in there and could use some pop of blue.

    It's a small shop so not a vast selection, but owner is a good guy and trying to revamp after buying SJ Reef. They're only 5 minutes from me so nice to have if I need frozen food or supplies in a pinch.

    PIF: 3D Printer - Flashforge Creator Pro

    Pending Got this printer as a trade for corals a couple years ago and it has served me well. Made tons of reef related prints with it. It's an older model, doesn't have fancy features, but it does basic jobs fine once you dial it in. I upgraded my printer so passing this one along. Pickup in...

    corals in tank that you regret

    Discasoma mushrooms: I have defective candy crush mushrooms, only 1 or 30 will develop green lines. They multiply like crazy, detach, and spread around the tank. Injecting them with kalk only weakens them then I need to suck them out the next day. Tequila sunrises at least die after injecting...
