Just listened to this, interesting to learn about the migration of copepods from the depths up and down, and coral spawning is mentioned.

Hey Bar, My office wasn't full so I got a used 120 Viso tank that is 4' x 2' x 2' with a center rear overflow. I just got it plumbed up yesterday with some local help and am going to fill it tomorrow. I got some huge pukani rocks from a new local reefer who picked up even more for his build...

Explaining to the checkout person at Trader Joes that the two vodka fifths I am getting are for my reef tank and I am not an alcoholic, because my wife did all the shopping there two days ago and I wasn't getting anything else. The checker behind him had heard of carbon dosing before, so I had...

Cool prospects to help coral breeding out of my alma matter https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/new-gel-could-boost-coral-reef-restoration?fbclid=IwY2xjawKR34BleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHuj7NFnLCwmnpOeZ1zw0ih_MtD4LzQrWew2ps0mpA-6A-jyswzP-D6u1hq49_aem_rWIF2kc7orZ9g9ZdrAYKTA

I was wondering this recently. My 300 has all dosing set and a huge water volume, so no major swings. On my old tank, I found that once the tank hit 12 months, and really when it hit 18 months, coral growth took off. Does anyone know the mechanism as to why things like Seriatopora...

Here's the web site with pictures of a lot of her ceramics from when she did a show back when I was in high school. Included on there is the Michael fish. https://sites.google.com/view/lisaspottery/introduction

@IOnceWasLegend , I think you are good at this game Spirochetes and Diatom, or dinos? Dinos? Amphipod Cyano and algae?

Cool Video Cool video I found tonight

Anyone running the pro resin instead of the mixed bed resin after their RO? Pro has separate anion and cation resins so you burn through each at the appropriate rate for your own water chemistry, followed by its own mixed bed resin. Since cation burns faster than anion from what I've read, do...

This was the first aquarium I purchased in Las Vegas to get something for my coral that I drove out from the Bay two years ago. It has enough life in it and deserves its own journal now. I found an all in one Red Sea 45 gallon cube locally used. I am watching the seams and they all look good...

It's steel, much longer, and doesn't mess around.

I am starting to look into some auxiliary lighting for the 300. Right now there are 5 Kessil 360x's across the middle of a 72" long x 32" wide peninsula (see tank journal for pics). The tank is 32" wide so there is going to need to be added light to get the dense sps look down the road. Does...

Hey Bar, My float sensor on my Tunze 3155 (What a model name! Fancy branding is not the German way clearly). I really likes the robustness of the Tunze system, but there have been some advances. Neptune, Red Sea and Tunze all make a newer version. Anyone have any reason to get one over the...

Hey Bar, I shut down my Reef Octopus 250ss skimmer and it dried out for a couple months. I then started it back up with a new power supply and controller (because I fried my old one) and the pump spins up great, but no bubbles are created. I bet something important is clogged and needs an RO...

Have you checked your? 1. Temperature 2. Salinity 3. Alkalinity 4. Calcium 5. Magnesium 6. Phosphate 7. Nitrate 8. Sanity

How long until the HOA says something about this? I think it is greener than yesterday. Thanks @Coral Hub (Nathan) for the ferts and the phyto!

Does anyone run Cuprisorb all the time on their tanks? My LFS has copper in their fish systems so they recommend (and I do) pour the fish and water through a net into a bucket, then add the fish from the net into the tank. If I do this enough times, the copper in the water may build up over...

I know of the standard tangs and rabbitfish. What other fish do people know of that a 300 gallon allows that wouldn't work in smaller tanks? I've been reading up on "reef safe with caution" angels and would love to hear thoughts.

Petco has a sweet deal out here now that is 20% off livestock if you buy a bucket, so now this tank is stocked! Working on the living wall build behind it.
