The new result showed that nickel and molybedium have been dramatically reduced. I've had a bunch of SPS growing for 2 months now (they used to die within 2 days). So I like to think the ceramic block had something to do with the contaminants. I've just sent in another ICP test. So let's see if...

This 5" clam was sold to me as a Squamosa. But it looks more like a Derasa, no?

pmed you

My tank is 125 gallons. The rollermat is kinda big and so I plumped everything to the side of the tank instead of under the cabinet. Be extra careful when plumbing for the rollermat since I made the mistake of having it be the main recipient of the drain from the tank. As I increase flow in the...

I'll be shopping. Thanks again.

just checking Bryan, you meant, " I won the Sps grow out competition with these"?

I have a few dendros I don't mind trading for SPS too

I switched to using the RollerMat since i hated cleaning the filter socks. But then after a few months I realized detritus was building up in the RollerMat as well. The good news is that even with the detritus my nitrate is still under 2ppm.

I read on a couple of threads that some contaminants come from ceramics like MarinePure (once it has soaked up the contaminants to begin with). So I've recently removed that block from my sump and is waiting for new results from ATI ICP test.

do you guys have any large Derasa or Squamosa clams in stock?

great thanks. I called today for a Derasa clam and they have two small ones available. I'll be stopping by.

I thought them being magnetized was the cause of my heavy metals and vanadium issue. But even after removing them from the tank, the Triton test still showed the same high levels of aluminum, lead, zinc and vanadium.

nice. What's the name of the first frag from the left and second frag from the right side?

I stopped running an ATS scrubber since I still had algae growing all over the rocks in the display tank. Furthermore, I read on other forums that such a high concentration of algae in an area means they're releasing spores back into the water and that may lead to algae blooms in the display...
