    Free phyto and chaeto

    I make my own phyto every week and I have some excess if anyone wants some. It's a four species blend and I have 8 x 12oz containers. Just bring your own container as I sanitize and reuse the same bottles. I'm also trimming my chaeto and it's just going in the trash if nobody wants it. Hit me up...

    Corals slowly dying.. help

    Do you clean your powerheads and overflow regularly? If not, I don't see very much coralline algae growth for a tank running 8 months. In my experience if your coralline is taking off, your corals will likewise do well. You probably need to get your big three in check (alk, cal, mag), and lower...

    What Fish Store QT’s?

    I agree with what matty said. I used dr reefs several months back and when my order arrived a couple fish were missing and when I reordered to get some of the missing fish, I ended up getting the wrong fish. He did his best to make things right but I did end up with a percula and ocellaris mated...

    Smite's Stout CDA - 205G

    I'm sorry to hear about all the troubles with your tank and I hope that things turn around soon for you now that you have an idea what the problem is. I'm curious now if I have some contaminates in my tank since I also have a CDA and didn't rinse the tank out. I plan on sending in an ICP soon so...

    GOFOR'S 52" x 36" x 26" CDA Peninsula & SoCal Tank Room Build

    I've had a Foxface Lo and Scribbled Rabbitfish in the past and they were both model citizens. I had every type of coral and invert with them. They ate some of the algae that the tangs didn't even touch.

    Dorado's 3'x3' Cube

    April 2021 Canopy Lighting I attached the ATI fixture onto drawer sliders to make it easier to access the bulbs. I also drilled 4 holes into the top of the canopy to provide air exchange via computer fans. 2 fans blow into the ATI fixture providing cool air and the other 2 are for exhaust...

    Dorado's 3'x3' Cube

    One thing that I really wanted to do with this tank was make water changes really easy. With the flip of a switch on my control board, a dedicated pump in my sump which is directly piped to a drain in the garage behind the tank, the sump is drained in a matter of minutes. With the flip of...

    Dorado's 3'x3' Cube

    Most of my SPS are at least 12" below the water with the PAR being between 350-450 at that level. I wan to get my hands on a MQ-510 to see how accurate they are.

    Dorado's 3'x3' Cube

    Thank you, the T5's are always at 100% except when they're ramping up and down. I like having them dim instead of the the hard on/off. I only have the orpheks running for four hours during the middle of the photoperiod. The orpheks are pretty powerful, I only have the cheaper USB apogee par...

    Greetings SoCaliReefs, my name is Brian. I've been here for several months but have decided to come out of the shadows and become a more active member of the community. I thought I'd first introduce myself by sharing some information and pictures of my tank that I started back in March of this...

    Clams FS at LFS?

    I don't think clam mania is interested in making money. I've tried to contact them in every way possible with no success. I had seen him at the last farmers market but I wasn't ready for a clam at the time. Thanks everyone for the suggestions

    Clams FS at LFS?

    I rarely see clams at LFS anymore and when I do, they look like they're on death's doorstep. Do any LFS have a good clam selection?
