Well, Just before I went out of town I randomly lost one of my gonis. Came home this week and lost another. Today I noticed two more look unhappy and lost a few polyps. Any thoughts? Alk-9.1 Ca-409 Mg-1300 Phos-0.59 Nitrate-6.8 SG-1.025 pH-8.1-8.3 (based on apex). Only thing new was starting...

Hello, Just wanted to send out a big thank you to Eric, MichaelB, and Alexander. I had wanted a 3D printed housing for my Trident. Eric was gracious enough to print one out for JVU and me. Originally the plan was for JVU to pick them up from Eric at the swap. Unfortunately JVU couldn’t go last...

Hello, I am getting back into town today. House sitter called to give me a heads up about an alarm from the tank. It was the auto top off (tunze). Made me realize with all the automation I don’t have an alert for the top off. So I figure for future trips that is the next thing to consider. Wha...

Hello, My QT tank is slowly becoming a bit of a display tank. I feed the fish pretty heavily since one is a Copper Band butterfly that is still learning to eat something other than shrimp. I don't seem him graduating to the display any time soon. So, I thought about adding some sort of hardy...

Hello, I have never fragged a zoa before. Usually I just drop a rock on them. The climb on, and that’s my frag plug. This is one solid rock. Just wondering what the advice would be. These are Jedi mind trick zoa’s.

Hello, Decided to finally try lanthanum dosing for my tank. I wanted to make sure I got the math right. Here we go: Phosphate Rx: per the calculator link Derek_sr posted. To drop my phosphate by 0.1 for a 180g tank it would be essentially 12 drops (I think the calculator said 11.8). Phosphate...

Well, Today was going to be the day. My rhomboid wrasse has been in the 60g display for months (8 or 9 months). I had placed my rhomboid wrasse into the acclimation box this week. No issues noted. Today was going to be his Independence Day! I let him out and was watching the tank while enjoying...

Well, The baby bangai’s finally made it into the smaller display tank. I apologize to those who showed interest. It’s been a struggle to coordinate sales due to time constraints or location, work trips, vacations. Ended up with 12 babies. All eating really well. Need to confirm with my son, but...

So, I will readily admit I am a total noob and not very techy, especially when it comes to the Neptune universe. Is there a way to set alerts for when the Trident results are too high or too low? Thanks Gerry

Hello, I am thinking of getting more familiar with my Neptune Apex and what it can do for my system. Right now I just use it as a fancy power strip with some monitoring. I recently added a Neptune Trident which after some trouble shooting the hardware now is working out well. Just learned how to...

Hello, I set up a Trident for the first time. I was just checking the usage for my reagents and this is what I got below. Does the ratio seem correct? The A reagent is a little below 50% while the B and C reagents are around 65%. Thanks G

Well, While other corals are hit or miss in my tank these two seem to either be very forgiving or they just like my tank. I have to keep trimming back my forest fire. The pavona just keeps getting wider and I keep knocking pieces off. Free to whoever wants them. I live in Clayton and work in...

Well, Stopped by Cali Kids today for some water. Cos got a shipment of fish in this week. Lots of cool fish. I had to exercise patience and restraint. I currently have 5 fish in my QT/isolation tank. It is not yet time to move them into the main display. Until then no more fish, but man...it was...

Ok, I am the first to admit I am not tech savvy. Need some help from someone who is pretty good/familiar with this stuff. I find the app to be OK but programming something is not intuitive. I finally got around to setting up a Neptune Trident I bought used about 1.5 years ago (I know I know...

Hello, I finally got a chance to cash in my raffle prize from the last swap: Consult with Richard Ross. It was a great discussion and very informative! Thanks again Rich. Appreciate it! And thanks to the club for setting this up as a prize! Gerry

I knew I had to clean out my skimmer collection cup, but I have been busy this week. Kept putting it off until today. This is what I saw when I opened my cabinet.

Well, I got my first order from Fishotel.com. It was supposed to be a QTed royal pencil wrasse. Unfortunately two days before shipping the wrasse got taken out by whatever fish he was in with. Happened after living together for four weeks. I was seriously bummed out. He got a copperband and...

I was watching my tank yesterday while doing some maintenance. My lawnmower blenny has a bulging belly. While I was watching I saw him go after some algae on the glass, the remnants of turf algae on the rocks, and some random stuff on my large turbo snails. This guy has been one of the best...

Hello, Just curious…for those of you who use B-Ionic two part (or other two part) what is your ratio of Alk to Ca consumption? Currently I am at Kh-30ml/day and Ca-45ml/day to maintain my Alk at 8.2 and Ca at 420. Just wondering how this compares. Mixed reef: SPS, LPS, and a few zoas. Gerry
