Technically a black friday deal, but I thought this deserved its own thread. You get points with purchase, and you can also stack these with future sales since they're basically cash. https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/giftcards/

Seconding this. I've always been very pleased with his stuff.

Ended up caving and grabbed a few of those Klir DI-4 filter rollers to help with nutrient control.

It does have a negative impact on pH. Even with secondary reaction chambers, you're adding CO2 to the system; that decreases the pH. The drop isn't noticeable on mine, though; and honestly, running a CO2 scrubber and a carx I'm still getting pH between 8.1 and 8.4 daily.

Good bit of labor to do, but it'll be worth it! In addition to the advice here, when you start working on your fish stocking plan there's an excellent thread here on Humblefish to make sure your stocking plan will work/you'll minimize issues between fish.

I think I have a spare PM1 if you're interested.

Given Black Friday is rapidly approaching, I just thought I'd start a thread for people to discuss what they're getting (and what deals they might be looking for). I know I'll probably be loading up on some Fritz salt with Saltwater Aquarium's 15% off MAP deal: https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/

Seconding this question!

AFR would work, since it doses all three simultaneously (alk, calcium, and magnesium). The one thing I would be cautious about is that, due to how AFR works, you don't get an instant reading change. With normal two-part, you add alkalinity, it circulates through the tank, and raises your...

Reefing Art plugs with a massive frag of Captain Jerks on top. First candidate for the Double Secret Banned list.

Sounds like a violation of the geneva convention with all the nasties from our tanks they'd be coated in.

Also noting that you should aim to try and do alkalinity testing around the same time each day for maximum accuracy. pH fluctuates throughout the day and night as a function of photosynthesis in the tank (and in your refugium, if you have one). pH also affects alkalinity. It's likely to not be...

My suggestion would be one of two things, if you're interested in Hydros but just don't want to wait for the Maven: 1. Pre-set up where it will be mounted in the cabinet, where bottles will go, etc. 2. Ask if you care about nutrients, or if you just care about the big elements, or if you just...

I'd like to be cautiously optimistic, but given the challenges of automated NO3/PO4 testing and the fact they waited till this late to announce a delay, I'm doubtful.

Also, responding to the second part of your comment: all we have is conjecture, but I'd imagine that NO3/PO4 testing in the format they're using (air bubbles IIRC) is probably challenging to get dialed in, which could be a reason for the delay. I'm a bit frustrated, since I thought, "Surely they...

Some people got an e-mail; I placed a preorder through an LFS, though, and I found out via the Hydros FB group. @phatduckk How'd your Trident NP end up working out?

For those of us who, like me, were looking forward to picking one up this month: it's been delayed from its original release date of black friday, and there is no new confirmed release date.

After messing with clips, I'll usually just take a small section of PVC pipe, wrap the nori sheet around it, and rubber band the nori to the pipe. Sinks to the bottom and lets them do a feeding frenzy.

I'm good on rock, but wanted to say 1. Thanks for offering these, Michael; and 2. For those who may be interested in this - this type of rock is excellent for NSA (negative space aquascaping), and these were my favorites to take a hammer and chisel to to break up and re-glue together to make a...

On a more serious note: My tendency would be towards JVU's preferences—making slow changes to the list—once we have it in a good place for all the groups. In the interest of full transparency: when we started up the swaps again post-COVID, and again after I took over as coordinator, the...
