Thanks. My outbreak was years ago and did not spread, but I never updated BARcard.

Good info. I have never done this before. But probably will be doing it again at some point, since I have quite a bit of very old yet cool rock.

Friday evening checked phosphates in soaking rock. Definitely there after one day. Amount unknown really bc I cannot distinguish between colors on API test card (students use them bc they are cheap; students' testing is unreliable bc there's a lot going on with a classful doing tank care jobs...

Thank you for that guidance. I am unfamiliar with gyres, so that directs me to what I would like to look into a bit.

Looking at a Hygger gyre for a 48"x24"x10" lowboy tank. Any suggestions on which model, since tank is so shallow? No return/sump but I do have strong regular powerheads that can provide additional flow.

Cool update, but still waiting to hear about shop changes. I will keep waiting :)

Signed, included long comment, and shared with bunch of science/environ sci teachers (some of whom may oppose it). On a side note, I have been trying to support teachers setting up classroom SW tanks across the country. We may forget that a vast portion of the US has no coastal access and lacks...

So many great things going on in that tank. Great growth, love those anthias, never heard of that lens port. Gonna be watching those milles now.

Soaked some great old rock (sitting in buckets in my yard for years) in bleach solution, rinsed, dried, now soaking in water change water and I will monitor phosphates. Stay tuned for plan for it…

50g Lowboy: 20g Quarantine tank: Hmm. Top shelf center - middle school boys cannot handle it Love this Herpolitha:

Biocube 29: Overflowing with BTA and 20+ yr-old widowed perc and ferocious maroon. Biocube 14 with clown pair from a summer camp tank for a classroom supporter friend:

So here is the current state of my tanks. A couple weeks ago they were worse. DSA 105 mixed reef: Only one light has been working for quite awhile (I have good lights; connection issue), so everything on the left. A month ago corals were more bleached. Bioblocks just in to seed for another tank...

I guess no one uses the extra large. I came across some pads for that size and it seemed silly to cut them down to the size of my smaller mag floats, but guess I will just cut them to size.

Welcome! What a great and well thought out plan. When your tank is mature, consider adopting a green BTA from a line that has been in the Bay Area for decades. (=ask me)

Welcome! How did you find out about BAR? I’m in Pleasant Hill - East Bay. Members here are spread all over the Bay Area and beyond. So you have a setup in progress here, as well as one in Canada?

Welcome! That's exciting to get back into keeping a tank. So smart that you kept the nice rock. This would be the perfect time to start a tank journal here: https://www.bareefers.org/forum/forums/tank-journals/

Looks great - how cool this is for your students!
