Sure, i'll take one. I still have a frag of a DBTC OG Mummy Eye for you. need to figure out a time to meet up.

Time for condolences, I lost a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Also, who was pushing for this rule? Were there a good number of supporting members that wanted this?

To be honest, this just sounds over reaching and unnecessary. So no group buys from biota can be run by members? Nothing from salty bottom or reef cleaners? I can't share the wealth the if I happen to find a great deal from a vendor if I purchase things in bulk. Assuming every one knows the...

You're probably not going to find an answer that's based on any actual fact or reproducible science. Just be happy it's growing, fuzzy and has good coloration. ;) But generally, lower light (I'd say < 200 PAR) will lessen red coloration in acros. I personally wouldn't try to muck with this...

Possible to add headers so it's clear what these numbers are for? Thanks for all the hard work!

I have three frags available. One is a smaller sized frag, but this thing seems to grow pretty fast. Here some pics of my colony before I cut a few heads off.

Don't know if this falls under bug or new feature, but for the longest time I've wanted to enable searching for strings that are three or less characters. I forgot the reason why it wasn't previously enabled, but searching is very difficult for things like ATO, CO2 monitor, CO2 tank, alk, Ca...

when in dark mode, some links on mouseover are a shade of purple and al little tough to read. it's blown up in the screenshot a little, so it's a little more clear to read, but with the normal sized text, makes it a little tough.

FYI, this use of cipro was actually adapted from treating anemones from a user on reef central years ago (OrionN, a doctor). Also, it was further expanded on by a R2R user, Amoo. https://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2271385&highlight=anemone+feeding...

I really wish the KFC dip would stop being pushed around as a good solution. While it may seem to work, a single dip is NOT likely going to kill or prevent the bacteria from replicating in the future. Also, the potential ramifications are not worth it IMO. If you're going to use antibiotics...

You probably won't get much flow through that with the head pressure. I'd guess you're going to get 100-125gph if you're lucky. I'd recommend getting something with a little more oomph. At least in the 500gph range (e.g., a sicce synchra silent 2.0) - though to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of...

Because times evolve and not everyone is an old fart like us. Young people access info different ways and can be a great way to invite the younger generation into being active reefers in our community. Stop being closed minded.

It's always possible that ich is present if you haven't treated for it, but conditions don't allow it to multiply enough to show noticeable symptoms in a fish. Ich usually attack gills first so they could be there without you noticing. Clownfish also have a thick mucous membrane that may help in...

I wouldn't recommend this strategy. While it can potentially stop a siphon, you're playing a game of timing. You have to ensure that enough air gets in the drain to break the vacuum in the siphon before water drains from return line filling the sump. If enough water fills the sump before enough...

Just to clarify this, DEEP sand beds (>3") allow for anaerobic bacteria to grow which can process nitrates. This type of bacteria growth only occurs in places where there is a lack of oxygen. One of the byproducts of the anaerobic bacteria processing nitrate is hydrogen sulfide. The...

It was ostreopsis. So just UV, five days without light/fuge, feeding a lot, and some nitrate and phosphate dosing. Took a while longer than normal, but it eventually went away after a couple of months.

IM75 still just chugging along. No big hiccups except I ran out of CO2 for the calcium reactor and didn't notice for 1/2 a day, alk dropped to 6, but I normally run about 7.5, so wasn't too bad. Corals didn't seem to notice at all either, dosed some two part until I changed out the CO2 tank...
