Thanks. I think I'm good for now.

If I grow them to adults, I'll prolly feed and gut load them with spirulina powder. Plus I have this on hand from other fish "projects".

Oh and if you're close (Castro Valley) and want to pick some up, I have too much, feel free to bring a jar and grab some. Today would be the best day since they hatched yesterday and will be at their most nutritious state for another 24 hours (there still some yolk sac left from hatching).

I just started hatching brine shrimp for wrasses and copperband in QT. They are actually really easy to hatch. It's so easy to do, I'll probably started hatching them regularly and feeding to all the tanks. I'm heating the water to 82F and it looks they start hatching in 10-12 hours. I did have...

Yeah, I never bother heating water and haven't for years.

:D Strainer didn't even work...more reason to get rid of it. Need to make your weir width smaller it sounds like too.

Yeah, I'd just remove the strainer....extra work for not much gain...no bueno.

Just curious as to why you use a strainer for your main drain pipe. Are snails and fish getting through you weir? Even if they did get through and completely clog your main drain, isn't that what's the secondary and tertiary drains are for until you can open and clear out the main drain? And...

Any particular reason you chose to have the reactor outside vs. inside?

Add a float switch to turn off skimmer if the 5 gallon bucket fills up.

If you have a trident that strategy will work. Also, a pH probe will alert you faster as it measuring in almost real time vs trident only testing 4-8 times a day.

You know, after all these years and reefing, somehow I've never come across this. There are actually anemones that can swim. Man, could you imagine the nem soup you could make in a tank?

Easy way to tell if your CO2 tank is empty if pH keeps going up. Also, on the off chance the regulator breaks or co2 dumps, you'll know about it and can react as needed.

You can, but even if you don't rely on the pH probe for the amount of co2 dosed, I'd personally still have one for failsafe.

As I understand it. No pH probe, no adjustment to co2 amount. It uses a float switch to saturate reactor with co2. You only have to adjust the amount of effluent dripped into tank.

150 Gallon Tank (Day 69) Tank is chugging along without much fanfare (good thing). Added some more fish out of QT, but had a little tang on tang aggression. An existing yellow tang didn't like another yellow tang encroaching on its turf, but nothing putting up a mirror didn't fix after a day or...

I'm not ready for the price tag. ;) I sorta have an idea how much it is and it's prolly re-donk-u-lous. Of course if you find a reasonably price frag, I'd jump on it.

Lawofficeaquariums.com doesn't have their OG purple monster colony anymore.

Is anyone ever really that comfortable with an OG purple monster? :p
