    Where are people getting berghias?

    Saltys is out of stock on the bigger ones. I think I'm going to try to get bigger ones instead of the 0.25". I tried those size before, and did not have good luck. Maybe I need a smaller tank for them to find each other and breed. Or they are so small, they get picked off easily.

    Where are people getting berghias?

    You may have been lucky that your FF/copperband didn't eat your corals. Or maybe you have too many corals and you didn't even notice. LOL. I like the wine country pricing on berghia and shipping cost within CA, especially their bulk orders costs. That's attractive. Or if you are done with...

    Tank crash

    Dang, that's heartbreaking. Sorry about all the SPS loss. Been through a crash before, and I know it's really hard to stop a crash once it gets going. Hopefully, you can save some of the LPS and softies.

    Where are people getting berghias?

    I got my last batch from Ellis. I think total I got 5 of the berghias. They were small, about the size of a rice grain which I wasn't too happy about. What's the acclimation process? I did float the bag and did a routine slow drip acclimation. Turned off the flow, and added them all in the...

    I'm just making sure the vodka is safe for my reef. Need to check often.

    Old tank syndrome I need help!

    Not sure, I've heard the same theories but I just assume its more BS marketing to sell NoPox or similar TM products. I just use vodka or glycol, gives me the most carbon per volume. I've never had a problem with blooms or oxygen drops...but I also dose very little since it has much more...

    I can't remove my zoas, it's stuck to the main rocks.

    Old tank syndrome I need help!

    Just use vodka or higher carbon source. No mixing, no pH drop, and cheaper per carbon.

    Tank crash

    Right now, I would stick with carbon, a series of WC and add lots of oxygen. It will save what you have alive. If you have to, buy some saltwater from the LFS (if they are trusted). Pull as much of the dead stuff out of the tank as you can. It could have been some type of bloom, which will...

    Old tank syndrome I need help!

    It needs time to let the bacteria to grow after increasing carbon dosing. It'll take a couple weeks to ramp up. So give it at least 2 weeks to see how it is going before ramping up again.

    Jimbo’s CDA 250

    Found a glass cup in the kitchen cabinet, so I drilled a hole in the bottom to make a feeding enclosure. Pretty simple. (I’ve helped my wife drill drain holes in ceramic pots for her plants, so this is pretty much the same.) Then I just use a turkey baster, and squeeze in some reef roids and...

    I tried kalk paste and joe's juice, they get pissed off and I see like 10 more growing in its place.

    Where are people getting berghias?

    Did you get them while they were at the show, or was it shipped? And how much were they? If you need to move those berghias, let me know. Do you have a lot of aiptasia? They need aiptasia to survive.

    Where are people getting berghias?

    Dood, I got a bunch of zoas and clams. I'm afraid to use filefish, copperband and stripey.

    Padded room tank

    Great start. The light is looking sweet. What are you planning for this tank?

    Where are people getting berghias?

    I've tried berghias twice, and both times, they have done nothing to my aiptasia. This was months ago when I put them in, and I look at night...nada. So where are people sourcing their berghias and who has decent sized ones. I'm so frustrated trying to find a good source, but also not get...
