Also, I work in downtown Oakland so someone could pick up there between 9-4pm tomorrow if they’re interested.

I have about 15 Berghia nudibranchs available for free as part of a pay-it-forward effort. They’ve done their job in my tank, but I’m all out of Aiptasia, so they’ll need a new home soon before they start to starve. Ideally, they should be picked up tomorrow (Monday) or Tuesday. I’m happy to...

Haha let me know! I'm sure I can find a few things to toss in that would look good in your tank ;)

Ayman had something come up and wasn’t able to pick the Hollywood stunners up. If anyone else would like them, they’re available for free and I can probably throw in some other frags for free as well.

That's the WWC Cherry Tree encrusting montipora :)

@Ayman Works for me. See you then!

Sounds good to me! I'm around today and all weekend if you want to snag them.

Yes great call out @MichaelB! They do sting corals if they're right next to one so you should always give chalice corals space around it (similar to what you'd do with torch coral or pectinia).

Hello! I have three very large Hollywood Stunner chalice corals that I’d love to pass along to fellow reefers. These are healthy, fast-growing corals with that neon green glow. They’re great if you have the space for them! Pick-up only in San Rafael - my preference is someone picks up all 3...

I'm starting to get ready for the next coral sale and I figured I'd take a little video since I was already in the tank :cool:

Love it! I just ordered one and I'm looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks @dangalang!

It's definitely a bit clunky. I typically turn off all the pumps in my display and just float it there, but if someone has a better way to do it I'm all ears! Thanks, Alex! I agree dosing trace elements is not necessary and even breaks my own rule of "don't dose anything that you aren't testing...

Very soon actually! I just need to take pictures and then I'll be ready to post. This one is going to be heavy on the SPS front as my torches need a bit more time to grow out before I do the next cut.

No I don’t ship corals or attend coral shows. With a demanding job and two young kids, I try to optimize for what's convenient for me. Living in San Rafael makes coral pick-ups tricky though given most people live in the East or South Bay so when the kids get a bit older/easier, I plan to start...

I figured I'd take some time to jot down my thoughts on husbandry in case anyone finds the content useful or if others have critiques :) Water Testing One of the main pillars of my husbandry is regular water testing and consistent water changes. I test alkalinity twice daily using the...

I only added live rock from my existing system. When I knew I was going to upgrade, I added more rock to my 425 to start culturing it so I'd have more for the transfer. I actually used water from my 425 to ensure the new tank had normal levels of phosphates and nitrates. I was transferring 25...

Thanks for the kind words, Alex! To your point on kalk, I removed my ATO over a year ago and simply have my daily kalkwasser (continuously dosed) dialed in to my evaporation rate. So for daily alkalinity/calcium, I have: 5 liters of fully saturated kalkwasser 100ml of ESV part A and 100ml of...

Two years since my last post! So quite a gap to cover here... About two years ago I decided to upgrade to a Red Sea Reefer-S 850: Display Tank Dimensions - 71"L x 25.6"H x 26.75"W Display Tank Volume - 180 Gallons Total System Volume - 225 Gallons Here's a pic of the tank and plumbing when I...

Aw thanks @richiev! I'm about to get my hands on the club's bandsaw so expect some Dragon Soul torch frags soon :cool:

Lid is on and the tank is cluttered with frag racks so it's not in the best state for photos, but figured I'd snap quick pic of the tank with my iPhone today: FarmerTy Eternal Flame starting to take off :cool:
