Reef Factory Frag Swap has been officially set for Sunday, June5th. We have secured the large indoor venue at the Diamond 9 sports card shop in the same strip mall as Reef Factory US. The building has bathrooms, plenty of parking, and places to dine. Vendors can setup the Saturday night prior...

Haha, I had a blue eyed that did the same thing. Always the front left corner of the tank. Was gonna post this exact thread. Pissed off the blasto that was there so had the move it. Guess it was tired of eating shite.😄

Public restrooms are probably an issue. Im sure if you patronize one of the eating establishments you should be ok. One of my concerns is the tables we have.....they are the basic plastic 8ft type. I believe they are only rated to 100lbs. I may have to look into better tables.

Thanks for the input. I had been to some of the swaps just as a patron years ago. Couldn't even recall the names of the show. My long hiatus from the hobby has been rekindled and sadly I don't see much if any of these events taking place. The pandemic obviously put a serious damper on such...

Ok...let me see if I get more responses with this question. Has anyone here participated in a frag swap? What did the organizers provide for you? Tables, chairs, outlets, etc....

Anyone here have some experience putting together a frag swap? I have some questions that could use some experienced level answers.

Definately not a golden hawk. I remember mine had the body of a typical hawkfish with the colors of a royal gramma. Nice streamers on rear tail and amazing iridescent blue eyes. It's been 30 years since I've seen one in person. I remember paying less than $20 bucks for it.

Been looking for one of these guys. I haven't seen them in years. I had one in the early 90's and it was a great comical fish. Anyone seen one around?

Just my experience. I have a nano tank so this outcome may be due to the small size of the tank. Dosed ESV for about 6 months but noticed my salinity creeped up too much for my liking. I've since gone with a kalk stirrer and any additional alk/cal is brought up to level with Tropic Marin AFO...

I saw 3 or 4 donuts at that price at reef factory.

Question. If refigerated phyto is fed to a tank, does the sudden and drastic temperature change kill the phyto? Therefore using room temperature phyto is the proper way to feed/dose it in the tank.

In the past I'd have to slowly coach tangs to eat nori. Should keep trying to train it.

Perfect! A cheaper better solution. My wallet thanks you.

Anyone know where I can source some of these? I speaking of the type that would commonly come with drip acclimation kits. Or anyone have a source of a very compact airline tubing holder that would create a gentle u shape over the rim of the aquarium and hold it in place. I find that dosing line...

I think reef factory has them in stock but I would call first.

If anyone else is considering it keep in mind to dose your normal 2/3 part and reduce the amount as you ramp up the All 4 reef. I like the idea of a 1 part and will see if it works out.

Just mixed my first batch of All 4 Reef powder form. Used a magnetic mixer. The final color of the water is a light brown color. Is this normal? Anyone else using the powder form?

Thats the thing, I feed heavy, have a UV, have very little other algae growth on the rock work, corraline is growing well, and nutrients seem to be in-check. SPS, and LPS are all growing well too. Weekly water changes, dosing alk, cal, mag to proper levels. Is it just a phase of the tank? Only...

The glass on my tank literally grows a fine dusting of algae within 6 hours of cleaning it. If I want to keep my tank somewhat presentation ready I have to clean the glass everyday. My phosphates are about .05 and I have to dose nitrates to keep it at about 3-5ppm. Whats going on here? Whats...

Vivid aquariums had a bunch when I swung by 2 weeks ago
