I’ve been super happy with BRS 2 Part. Just make sure whatever you switch to, you may have to adjust your dosing volume. When BRS switched to pharmaceutical grade I had to dial back my dosing be almost 50ml.

What kind of tiles are @gws3 and @YHSublime using for their frags?

Alk 8.3 (Hannah Checker) Calcium 450 (Salifert) Everything else is doing great. I was debating removing all the birdsnest and replacing with more acros anyway. I think my tank is just helping me make my decision lol.

Does diffusing essential oils have negative impact like candles and air fresheners? My wife has been diffusing on the main level and the tank is in the basement. Recently my giant birdsnest is starting to RTN and all my parameters are in line.

I follow AlanM’s method starting at an angle and transitioning to perpendicular. Also, let the drill do the work, don’t get impatient and apply too much pressure you’ll end up with chips or a crack.

I’m sure you have already, but anytime I have unexplained issues I go back and test my parameters. I usually find my Alk or some other parameter is off.

+1 Eheim Jager for me too

+1 for Reef Escape, most of my fish are from there as well. I’ve also had luck getting some from Supreme Reefs.

Currently I have a 125, a 20 and a 34 gallon tank in my basement. The house typically in the summer is around 50% or less humidity inside. I am upgrading the 34 to another 125 and thinking about what adding the extra water will effect humidity. What are everyone’s thoughts regarding dehumidifiers? When do you need one? The tanks are in the HVAC room and next to it if that makes a difference.

You never know, but all my clowns have been intolerant of other clowns or pairs. I wouldn’t try it unless they were physically separated. Keep one pair in the sump maybe.

I got mine from Bulk Reef Supply, they usually have them in stock.

Wow great price.

Spaghetti worm would be my guess. If so, I believe they are harmless.

Likewise, I’ve had mine for almost 2 years no issues.

I’ve always had luck with Chemiclean. Just follow the directions on the package and red slime is gone in a day or two and doesn’t come back.

I’d try Supreme Reefs too.

I’m changing gears on my 125 and have traded in my aggressive fish. I have 2 leopard wrasses currently and I am planning to add several other leopards (ornate, black, etc.). I currently also have 1 true percula clown and a Banggai cardinal. I’m looking at other wrasses, but the most import thing is whatever fish I add it/they don’t mess with my leopards. I had a yellow coris kill one leopard and the mate to my remaining cardinal. Open to all peaceful fish suggestions. Thanks

I’ve had several. Gold and Blue. Eventually became jerks. I had one snag a brand new clownfish. I didn’t think they could actually catch fish, as soon as I put it in the tank it snagged it with its pincers. Immediately removed and traded in to Marince scene.

I really like my GHL Doser 2. Easy to setup, also has an App.

Anyone had a purple sponge that branches out and spreads like crazy. I have removed some but it comes right back. Thoughts? I’ll post pics when I can

Most in the area carry and sell nice live rock. Reef escape Quantum reefs Capital aquarium BRK I think does as well

I use a Ghl doser. I have been very happy with it.

Stopped by today, some really nice corals. Best selection in the area by far. Ben was also super helpful, glad there is another great shop to get my coral fix.

Trash can is clean I wipe it down and rinse it after ever batch. No Tds reading. Filters for RODI are new.
