Yes, I don't have potassium hydroxide. But I have potassium chloride powder, so I can whip a concoction up to see if that'll do the trick.

Home remodel, new furniture, alpine stereo, and updated stand...did you win the lotto? Or them Hydros checks kicking in? LOL. J/K. Looking good!

Glenn, wow, that reef has really grown! I'm always amazed at how easy you make growing corals look. I hope to catch up a fraction some day. I see you run ozone too. Do you run it 24/7 and controlled with orp? At what orp level do you stop? Or do you just run a few hours at night to only...

What a pretty fish. I have not seen them in any of the LFS I've been to locally.

Yup, the ones in the back and under other rocks, I can't get to. These are the mother colony of giant aiptasias. It is just waving its giant tentacles in my face.

The cycle will go as long as it needs. So you need to add some type of ammonia (this can be a piece of food, or ammonia solution), now people frown on using fish to cycle the tank. Anyways, the cycle will go on until your bacteria in the tank is built up sufficiently to go through the nitrogen...

I used to inject vinegar into the aiptasia, but I think it wound up making aiptasia exploding in numbers. So that's why I got some peppermints, but I'm not sure they would eat the huge aiptasia that I have. These suckers are like 1.5" in diameter (mother colony of aiptasia). Maybe because I...

My garage gets too hot in the summer or when my hot car is parked in there, so I can't set up a frag/QT tank in there. Do you run a chiller in the garage?

If I didn't have so much invested in APEX gear, I would jump over to Hydros as well. The APEX gear is just low quality when you open them up. Most new reefers are already choosing Hydros.

The clowns are so cute! Are they paired up? Love the natural look of that tank with the macros.

Definitely set up that ATO. One less thi by to worry about.

Hit them up on IG or Facebook. Looks like they are really active on those platforms, they just posted something yesterday.

I stand corrected. I guess if you pay enough, yes there are people doing QT inverts for you. Although QT inverts is pretty simple, just set up a observation tank with only inverts and wait 70 days. No need for any medications or special methods. And I didn't say fishless system was useless...

Looking good. Hopefully, the losses are minimal. All of the corals look unfazed. Let us know what you lost, and if I have extras of those...I'll give you a frag.

So far, my indo peppermints are not eating the aiptasia in my observation tank. Not a good sign.

Sounds like you were able to avoid the major crash! Good save.

Good to compare notes. I’m running ozone at night for a couple hours, targeting ORP 380. I noticed that not too many people run ozone anymore. It may be too old school. Glad to see someone else still using ozone. I did consider taking it down since the benefit is unknown. I do it mainly...

I just bought from reefcleaners . Not happy with size and they also can ship your order & omit any inverts out of stock without notice. I won’t be buying from them. They are not QT, just fishless at their facility. They are sourcing their stock from distributors, and I’m sure the...

Curious how you are running ozone? 24/7 or only few hrs at night. And are you targeting some ORP level? And what are pro/cons you are seeing? And are you running carbon too?

I doubt anyone would sell QT inverts. Just don't make any business sense because it would be hard to restock.
