Looks like they were doing a combo chlorine and chloramine mix before but now going all in on chloramine. Either way you def need a filter before it hits the RODI membrane -I believe it can damage it permanently..

check with your local water company on this-chances are they are using chloramine/chlorine but then again with a tds of 400+ plus supposedly I wonder if they filter the water at all?! In the east bay they do use chloramine and when I used to make my own water -I had a chloramine block in the...

Great update!

Overall this swap went well I thought. I thought venue was spacious enough and tables well laid out. Good space for freebies and DBTC. My only two suggestions - 1) Signs -it was not so evident where it was-if I had not followed another car and then person-it may be been a bit more...

Can you get a pic of the berghia licking the rock when it’s done?

Biggest regret is having any mushroom type coral- including Yumas -just invasive little SOB’s. Not as bad as blue cloves but still..

Where is that forum. I am in.

I can bring one for you.

I would like a frag of this one. @Reefpat, @dochou, @musclebenz, @EBJ, @Reef-Geek, @under_water_ninja, @Arvin R, @Calgoby, @Reefinglens, @grizfyrfyter, @Bolo156, @ReyDeFarts, @Max Nano Justin, @AndynotDrew, @L/B Block, have requested a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

shame -as I was looking for some pieces of specifically this but I was offline for the most part due to a nasty cold. Next time!

I do not think you were. I think the issue is that the discussions around carbon dosing seem limited to nutrient reduction, and potential algae blooms (if used too much), but not microbial "hotspots" on rocks that can cause tissue stress or nitrogen deprivation in new corals causing...

So for those who carbon dose and have a lot of SPS-could you tell any difference per se in anything visually or chemically ? I had wrote another thread about issues with SPS. @tribbitt had mentioned carbon dosing being a possible culprit. I had incidentally been reducing it back from 1.6 ml...

@spuri87 - between 1st and 2nd LC usage -after it registered 11 I stopped cold for a few months. Then when I started the 2nd time -I had threaded through lid unlike first time where I had a tee at the venturi. In theory this should have worked but I think some was being blown through the...

What I am advocating for is understanding what the goal is- if it is keeping SPS -then I do not espouse keeping nutrients high. On the other hand-euphillia and other softies don't care about high nutrients but do care about stability. I think it the lazyman's position is to not bother to...

Thank you for the correction on the product names @Alexander1312. I use Bacto over the other only because it is less aggressive in stripping nitrates. When I started I only had 17 ppm NO3 and even with Bacto it had reduced substantially and then with LC it had actually really dropped to 1...

Ok I can’t recall the size of the tank -either 200 or 287? But this website can help - larryl.emailplus.org.user.fm/fish/dosing-instructions-phosphate-removers.html So for arguments sake you have a 200 gal tank and you want to bring down po4 from 1.8 to .5 as a first stage of undiluted...

That is very useful!

It’s more about what @richiev has done above..maybe at some point see if I can tie on apex and Red Sea app but they seem to live happy in their own domains for now

No way I am ceding control of my aquarium systems to AI. Afraid the day “skynet becomes self aware” and it tries to kill me doing basic maintenance. Just saying..
