I recently switched over from dosing 2 part to a calcium reactor and need a bit of help. The setup is a Kamoer STP2, Carbon Doser, and Aquamaxx T-3. Right now I am having the Carbon Doser set at 10 PSI with a bubble rate of 1 bubble every 6 seconds. The Kamoer is set at 20 ml/min. I also have...

After I set up my tank 3 years ago, I noticed a bit of salt build up under my Modular Marine external overflow but it didn’t grow and I didn’t see any water. However recently I noticed the salt build up increased and there is a bit of moisture running down from the bulkhead to the stand. Below...

I potentially may need to move in a couple months and need to start figuring out how to move my 150g tank + stand. Does anyone have recommendations on services/people that will help break down and move the tank? I'm located in Sunnyvale. Other's that have moved a large tank, how did you do...

Looking to start another Battle Corals group buy and would like to gauge interest. If you are interested in participating, please respond in this thread. One format option for the group buy would be to mimic the 2020 version, where participants selected their own frags and received discounted...

I recently purchased a Trident and have noticed that it needs to be calibrated quite often. I'm not sure if it was an issue with initial set up, but I noticed my readings were way off my Salifert tests. It required 2-3 calibrations before they were generally within acceptable ranges to Salifert...

I’m curious how everyone is managing electricity costs, especially people with larger/multiple tanks? The hobby is getting more expensive in CA with PG&E recently increasing rates and planning another hike in a few months. I’ve cut back my lighting schedule and probably plan on shutting down...

Please let me know.

I recently got a small achilles tang (3-4 inches) and powder blue (~3 inches), both of which were in QT for 2 weeks. The entire time in QT, they got along fine and didn't show any aggression. After QT was over, I transferred them at the same time to my 150g display and they got along fine for...

Im out of town right now and noticed on camera that my fish are not swimming. My family said most of them seem to be dead or laying on the sand. Could someone swing by my place in Sunnyvale and help take a look and see what’s wrong?

Just curious if any other BAR members are going and what is their preferred method of transportation. I've only been to the NY pre-COVID so quite excited to see how this one is.

If anyone in the Sunnyvale area has a light I can borrow for a week or so, that would be greatly appreciated. Just need it for a frag tank as mine stopped working.

I’ll be taking a work trip down to LA and wanted to stop by some LFS. Are there any must see places? I know LAX and Vivid are down there. Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks.

Have a bunch of 0.5-1 inch unmounted frags of The Fuzz available. Pick up in Sunnyvale. Pic of mother colony:

Since my vacation in Sep, my tank seems to be a bit off. I’ve been having issues with my acans and now I’m dealing with sudden turf algae and bryopsis. Not sure if it’s my nutrients as my nitrates are 2 while phosphates are 0.15 (a bit high but I generally have been around there). Correct me...

The picasso clowns in my frag tank laid eggs and I don't have the resources to try raising them. If anyone on BAR has a set up and would like to try, happy to net the fry once they hatch.

I recently came back from vacation and noticed that all my acans are shrunken and a few have receded, exposing skeleton. Meanwhile all my sps and other lps (euphyllia, Goni, and trachys) are open and happy. What could be causing it? I just did a 30% water change and am running carbon...

Is anyone handy with solar or an electrician that can help me? I built a DIY solar generator based on a few builds I saw online. While it works, I think I have a vampiric draw as the battery will whittle down despite little use.

Got some worms from Neptune but my fish have no interest. Located in Sunnyvale.

Do you spread the dose for both over 24 hours (using the Apex DOS function)? Or do you dose separately, dosing alk the first 12 hours and calcium the last 12 hours of the day? I'm a bit concerned about precipitation even though I dose directly into a small pump. I heard it may be better to...

I just added The Fuzz to DBTC. There are 2 frag(s) available right now. This thread was automatically created by BARcode
