wish you well

sand removal which even a small amount harbors lots of bacteria is (was) an important part of your filter. don’t discount the impact a little sand has on the system. regarding the ammonia, you didn’t state the reading or I missed it. Either way, ammonia is or could be present, so act...

Doubt that water changes alone are going to help you considerably, considering that you’ve been using the same water and it wasn’t until after you moved your tank and removed your sand that you began having these problems. The cause shouldn’t be difficult to figure out since you detailed it in...

Hi - I'm sorry you're going through this. Did I read that you removed all your sand and moved your tank a few weeks back? That is a lot of bio filtration you took away…. and if you scrubbed everything, you took more away. You could be smelling the remaining bio (bacteria) die off. If you have...

I’ll be taking reqs soon. Want to see who’s up for a drive north prior.

I’m in. Let’s hope they stabilize and can be fragged. One week might be too soon for these.

@dandemeyere - Good to meet you last week! This is RRU Robinhood

@dochou and @Alexx - can try to coordinate weekend of May 14. I’m in Marin, but may try to head to @under_water_ninja ‘s new store in Oakland for some salt. Oakland trip is low probability at this point, but may free up. lmk if either of those works for you.

Leaving them behind shows you care for the life of the animal. Good going

Patience, good husbandry.... :) Still make minor mistakes, though. Key is for the tank to be stable enough and coral healthy enough to forgive me in those times

Changed over to KZ elements about two months ago from Red Sea Coral Colors due to some inconsistent elements values from last two ICP readings. I did have to dial down the #3 bottle (Aminos) due to a little burn on a couple of coral, but I think I solved that. Other than my female clown...

2 accidental frags when rock tipped. Let's give these some time to heal, and please let me know which frag you want. Pick up in Marin - Novato preferred, but can meet in San Rafael as well.

got it
