So if you setting up your new tank is another location than your current tank sits, then it is much much easier. You can cycle the new tank with new sand and other additional rocks, and once it is ready, you can just move the old rocks with corals over at your own pace. May be a good idea to...

I would not lower pH. Most likely probe is not reading correctly.

Looks like it was the battle of the gigs this month for the Nems. Very close vote! The winner of the June 2025 POTM is Tangwich! Here is the awesome winning photo: https://www.socalireefs.com/index.php?threads/june-2025-photo-of-the-month-nems-for-the-win.116467/post-1136772

The Trident is pretty accurate in my experience. It give you a good reading most of the time. It'll drift when the reagents run low. If you manually test weekly, I don't think you will really need Trident as it is really just a "nice to have". If you just want to not test manually, then...

June. Still alive! Good color and encrusting. Terrible photo skills.

Trying to be positive. Hahaha. I've seen heads gets stressed from reproduction though. But I did ask about the parameters... just to rule out low nitrates/phosphates...or low mag. Those have also been known to cause stress to LPS.

That's the only great way to enjoy a tank. I don't have room for a couch, but I placed a cushioned bench in front of my tank. I even sit in it to clean the glass.

Have you tried ABC reagents for standard Trident? I've been using it for about a year and works great. So might as well save some money. For some reason, ABC have also been out of stock for many items lately as well. I'm good for a couple years though because I have purchased the ABC...

Pretty easy to assemble. The only tool you need with be a little hacksaw to cut the aluminum frame into size. It's quality and affordable. Only thing is that you won't have crazy cutouts or feeding ports, so that can be a pain. And it is black and not clear, so there is some light blocking.

You tested your parameters? Low nitrates or low mag? This can be just the head splitting as well.

Awesome site. Thanks for supporting the local community and the forum.

Tank is really looking good.

Somebody test that water for growth hormone and steroids. :p:ROFLMAO: Gonna need an urine and blood sample too.

It's your corals to do whatever you want. Don't worry about the vendors, your corals probably won't make any kind of dent in their business.

^ This almost looks AI. So cool. The poll is open, and will close in mid-next week. Pick your top 2 choices!
