  1. Hi.  I'll take the Santa Monica drop.

     

    I live nearby in brambleton and can come after 7 when I get the kids down, or later this week if it's more convenient. 

  2. Yea that’s a thought. Here is the one rock where it all began Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Thank you everyone. I started on thread that sublime posted and then started researching https://maxdraco.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/fenbendazole-eliminate-invasive-soft-corals-blue-cloves-polyps-xenia-aiptasia-hydriods-etc/. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. @sublime the issue with dosing goat-dewormer is I have zoas,frogspawn and other softies [emoji3525]. I don’t know if I can raise the tank temperature high enough to kill them. I’ve had the tank between 78-80. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Hey everyone, thank you in advance. So I’m approaching the 2 year mark on my tank and all corals are doing well. I made a mistake when I started though one of my rocks had small piece Xenia and I dremeled it off and thought I was ok. Well I didn’t get it all and as you can figure it has taken over my tank. I’ve tried pulling Xenia out and made progress then small pieces got lose and now I have a tank full Xenia LOL. I tried taking all the rock out and dremeling it and still no luck. I’m out of options. So I have a thought 1: I take all the rock out and replace it with dry rock 2: I’ve heard of this reef rock that has spores biological material making it mature faster 3: mature Marco rock in brute with a heater, powerhead and frits turbo start and wait 2 months. What’s everyone thoughts and ideas I appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  7. Hey everyone, I’m trying to access the sales forum and every time I click on a sales ad it sends me this error (see picture below). My issue is I believe I already paid for my membership if it expired where do I sign up for a new one or see when mine expires. Any help is appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Hey everyone. So I went ordered a box of reef crystals from Blue ribbon koi and i checked the bags and they all looked good. 1 month later while after mixing up my salts I went back to use my last bag and it was yellow. I know this means it’s defective but has anyone used it the yellow bags with any side effects ? Just curious thank you I’m advanced Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I appreciate the help. My plan is to take the skimmer apart again and cleaning it, make a 1 inch riser putting it at 6 1/2 inches up and see what happens thanks again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. So I have very low nutrients at 0 nitrate and .04 phosphates. I’ve run acropower for 1 year and my acros are doing well. I’m dosing fuel and abcd for trace elements. I dose 10ml acro and 10 ml fuel, 1.5 Potassium, iron and bioelements and 1 ml of iodine. So far no crazy algae would you recommend carbon. This dosing methode is off of fish of hex.

  11. Hey Wamas, I figured I would try here. So I’m having an issue with my skimmer. It’s been running fine for two years but now I’ve switched salts and I’ve started dosing: Red Sea abcd, aquavitro fuel and acropower. I dose everything half of what the recommendations are. My skimmer now is overflowing like crazy so I’ve let it just run for the past week and did a large 30 gallon water change on my 180. I’ve opened the skimmer fully up and still no luck. Any advise should I start running carbon, raise the skimmer idk.... any help greatly appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Hey sublime, I currently run two part. I’m dosing esv and then I dose acro power. I do 20 gallon water change every week as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I agree dfr. I might add 4 retro fit kits and see how that works. So update on tank parameters alk 7.8 cal 454 mag 1485 nitrates 0 (tested with Red Sea) phosphates .04 (tested with Red Sea) So another thought what about dosing trace elements like Red Sea abcd dosing. Or do I buy a calcium reactor ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. So vary the height it will give it different contrast. Also look at Stone fix and see about making some arches and passage ways I’ve seen some really cool aqua scapes lately. Lu who won tank of the month has a really cool aqua scape. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Update I have increased dosing of esv alk to 1ml to get it back to that 8dkh range. I have order Red Sea algae test kit will be here Tuesday . I’ve also order Red Sea nopox large bottle to dose if needed as well. I started runnning chemipure blue last night. At this point though i feel I’m guessing it’s nitrates phosphates without any proof you know. The rocks look good and yea my sand bed has a sprinkling of cyano which might be the cause. I guess I’ve just never had terrible algae issues so I never thought it could be no3 po4 issue. Anyways all things to consider appreciate the advice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
