lovely, good you got the space pectina all the way in the corner. I hear they pack quite a sting

I have no experience with this good luck

Just wanted to know how folks set their radion lights when they are acclimation new corals to the tank. Is there a Scheme on apex fusion that you can share? Much thanks

you are so good at this

RC is my salt of choice. Works well for me.

Take all those dead corals and put them in you CaRx.

I am curious, has anyone here done a DNA test or a microbiome test of there tank to find out what is actually in there?

Hi Folks, Anyone has a full CO2 tank that they are not using. Mine ran out and I need one TONIGHT! ( I am out of town tomorrow) Many thanks. Milton

that looks amazing

Can anyone ID this coral? I got it as a 1" frag a few years ago from our frag fest. Many thanks

Very nice looking tank. Looks like you need a trim too.

If is it only 5 days, i would not worry about it. The fish can go 5 days without being fed, if you must. The big thing is your ATO. I have left mine unattended for a week with no issues. The sitter came to look in on the cats and the plants but did nothing for the tank. I have a Wyze cam that i used along with my Apex to make sure the water was running. Get a reef buddy. I need one too, just incase

Hello Stephen welcome to the club

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I have taken the rock out, soak it in some fresh water for a few hrs then i will let it sit outside in the sun to dry off for a few days.

Hi all, I have a big piece of lr in my QT that is filled with pest clove polyps and aiptasia that i would like to get rid of. At first i was thinking of using some drug to kill them but the the lr alive. Now i am thinking to just nuke the whole tank and rock. What is the best way to do this? I was thinking of soaking the whole QT in Clorox then hosing the rock off and perhaps using a wire brush of the rock. Would this work? it there an easier/better way? I would like to reuse the rock when this is all done. many thanks

I already have the skimmer intake to the outdoors (Sort of, a storage rm with more draft). I can also look at dripping the CaRx effluent into the skimmer intake. Much thanks

Regarding the ph levels, It does not gets above 8.0. I run both a 2 chamber CaRx and i dose about 1L per day from a Kalk Stirr. I was expecting that would push it up but it does not. It just settles between 7.8-8.0, which i know is not bad, i was just expecting it would be higher given all i am doing. I usually run GFO constantly, but none for the past 6 weeks. I will stop that and only use when necessary. I will start by doing a 80 gallon WC and will start by adding some Lugol Appreciate the imput

This is why i got a CO2 monitor as i thought the CO2 in the house was high but that is not the case, even when i open doors and windows

Graham, Many thanks for your response and suggestions. Couple things; -My PO4 is usually between 0-0.09. I have lots of historical data for that. measured by hannah checker -I do have CO2 monitor and that is usually bw 400-700 -I have been really struggling with Ph for months. I do have a CaRx and a Kalk Stirr but ph is still in the 7.8-8 range -My alk is in the 8-10 dkh range -I do use city water and my TDS on my RO system is usually 0 but no more that 2 -only my SPS are showing stress signs. All LPS and ok, maybe a bit of muted color, but not obvious -I do have lugol on hand, I will start that and doing more WC. I will convert my RO water container to salt water and that would allow me to do an 80G water change. My system is about 220 gallons. You think this is OK? -Fish are all fine -I do run GFO and carbon

So, I have been having some issues with my tank over the last few months. I have loss 5 huge acro colonies (> 5 years old) and the other are certainly struggling a bit. I just did an ICP test and several things came back low. They are recommending I dose about 11 different products. I am wondering if anyone hear has experience with this and is willing to offer any suggestions. I have attached the results. They are suggesting i dose: Potassium Bromine Boron Strontium Nickel Molybdenum Vanadium Zinc Manganese Iodine Phophorus I dont agree with all of these and would welcome some feedback. Bold are the ones I agree with Much thanks Milton's Reef - 06_29_2021 (B-KkL2XO).pdf

80 is not bad. My biocube at work runs in that range. What i have done to help is to crack the lid open about 2 inches to help with ventilation. i do not use a heater in the tank and its doing well

what temp is the tank running? Does the tank have a lid?

Yes those ones

Beautiful. I love you brains
