Thanks, John. I've got extra membranes and resins so I may as well switch everything out for today's water change & hold onto the hot water resins till I can talk to BRS. I started my MSPAS + MPH so my free time has been nonexistent. It was torturous to have realized the problem but not be able...

Whelp, I moved to my place in Sacramento and accidentally ran the hottest water possible through my RODI for about 20-30 min. I am pretty sure the membrane is melted because I made water a few days later and it filled way too fast. My question is did the hot water damage any of the other media...

Truth!

I was debating that but like @B the Nano Reefer said I was thinking it might be okay for the 2 hours they’ll be in the bucket. Thanks for all the detail! I use 7gallon camping water containers for storage and mixing so it’ll be easy enough to transport new water for the tank. Closed lids are...

Thankfully, I should have more than enough room for a whole tanks worth of water pre mixed. Finally one benefit of a pico

Will do! Do I need to worry about heat loss in the bucket during travel?

I’m moving up to Sacramento soon and that means moving my blessedly teeny tiny 5 gallon. I knew this move was coming when I got into reefing which is why I limited my tank size so much. Current plan: -make a ton of extra water to cart up with me so I don’t have to scramble and figure that out...

What kind of look are you going for? There’s a few different categories (or at least this is how I think of it): 1) The Miniature Landscape - appearance like a large reef shrunken down. Achieved by creating depth of field ie taller & larger elements in back with smaller shorter elements in...

Starting this to share the build. It’s also a convenient way to track the progress on my tank. I started this 3.5 gal display in March. After my other tank has gone so well I figured I should try throwing all the rules out and see what would happen. I also used as much equipment on hand as...

Damn, the growth on everything is real! Next thing you know, the whole house will be taken over!

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind if anything happens again in the future. Do you think I should continue to do 30-40% water changes every few days for the next week? I'm torn between ammonia levels having zeroed out but coral still looking sick. If ammonia stays low, would it be...

Hit my first major speed bump (or smashed face first into a wall) with the tank. I recharged the Seachem Purigen I was running the in the tank. Followed all of the instructions regarding rinsing but still felt weird about having soaked in it bleach previously. You can all guess what happened...

Mayyyybe I may not have noticed it standing behind the table in January. That’s all my ideas, haha

I would be interested in coral and snails! PM’d.

How hard would it be to make a QR code that links to the homepage for people to scan when they come by the table? It might make it easier for them to remember our page once they’ve left the CFM.

I’m really going to need to scale up my tank for some dolphins to fit in. It’ll have to be at least 3x larger. Thanks for sharing the video! So beautiful.

Oh cool! I got my original rbta and clowns from him. I’ll send him a thank you.

Who brought the plethora of rbtas? There was no name on them. I got one and it’s a beauty! The photo doesn’t do it justice

I am always freaked out about doing any reef related things after putting on sun screen because of oxybenzone. Even after washing my hands well I’m wary. Don’t mix skin care with reef care is my go to practice.

My bta detaches if you shoot water like angling the return at it. Hope it helps
