    Aptasia Eating Peppermint Shrimp at AC

    @svreef mentioned in passing on one of his threads that he bought a peppermint shrimp from AC and it ate all his aptasia. Well, I bought two the other day (one for each tank) and all my aptasia is gone in both my tanks now. So whatever strain they have at AC is the right one!

    Free to a good home. Has a pretty large chip on the front panel on the bottom left. Holds water just fine, but I didn’t want to risk my hardwood floors to it. Also has a chip near the ato.

    I just got my new results in and wanted to share them on my build thread, but I don’t see where to share the results anymore. Any ideas? And I blind? The website does look like it was re-designed.

    Well this sucks

    I found this today during my three month cleaning (citric acid). I happened to send out an ICP test a few days ago so the results should be in soon. What, if anything should I do? Some of zoas have all been melting lately. It’s been hard to watch. Maybe the cause? Everything else is good. I...

    To keep or not to keep my algae scrubber?

    I am constantly dealing with low no3 in my tank. I’ve been no3 dosing for a few weeks now and Ive seen some nice results but I hate dosing things that aren’t “necessary.” I firmly believe that refugiums and algae scrubbers seem to only reduce no3 with any sort of consistency. I’ve always needed...

    Broken ORP Probe...Concerns?

    So I noticed today that my ph was swinging wildly from 7.77-8.1. It was sending all sorts of alarms from the apex which is awesome. So I take out my probe holder and look at the probe and it looks good. Then I look at the other probes just for good measure and I notice the metallic probe tip...

    Who uses Kalkwasser in their ATO?

    My ph is peaking at 8-8.1 with my calcium reactor and my co2 scrubber 100% recirculating through my skimmer. This means that my ball valve is completely closed and the co2 scrubber is is pulling only air from the skimmer cup. If you don’t follow my tank journals then you don’t know that I am a...

    How Do You Have a Bay Area Safe RODI System, and Fill Up Your ATO Container?

    I have noticed that we have more and more new people becoming members which is AWESOME. So, I figured I would share a little about my RODI and water movement set up.

    Any one have experience with a Dolabella Sea Hare?

    My nitrate dosing experiment landed me with a pretty large hair and turf algae issue. I only like using natural means of removal so I’d like to borrow a sea hare for a few weeks. If not, anyone know where to find one locally?

    AC now has an Aquaspin!

    $12 tests most parameters that most reefers need to know. Really cool that they are offering this service. This can help when we are trying to help someone new or if you just want to ensure your tests are accurate.

    Anyone know what hinges Red Sea uses?

    I’m looking for replacement hinges for my reefer 450. I bought the tank used and it did not have any hinges installed so I can’t remove one and look locally. l’ve looked online, but I don’t see anything concrete And the ones I find are super expensive. I have emailed marine and reef, but I...

    Triton 3 Pack Shipping?

    Probably a dumb question, but how the heck am I supposed to send out my Triton sample. I bought a “3 pack” and it came with these stupid cardboard flappy things instead of boxes. This is super frustrating. What am I missing? Do I send it I. This flimsy box with a bunch of tape or something?

    Average lifespan of cleaner shrimp?

    I have one that’s is very lethargic looking. I would normally think it’s molting except it’s not hiding. It’s at least 1.5 years old and that seems to be the longest I can keep them alive. Anyone have any idea how long they normally live? I kinda feel bad watching it look so rough. The only...
