    Coral Euphoria's latest video

    I hear you, I have had all kinds of issues. All the plagues, Velvet, Ich, Flukes, Red Bugs, AEFW, Montipora nudies, zoa nudies, as well as different algae battles. The worst besides fish deaths, were when test were way off and I would believe them and try and make corrections too fast and then...

    Thanks Jose, I couldn't wait to get off work today to come by and pick up the frags. They look great. I am excited to see how they grow out, especially the Bumblebee and Muppets. Have a great week!

    Who can help me make a metal stand for my lagoon.

    That's how I build my stands like in the picture. All mitered corners, no open tubes to start rusting from the inside. It's almost the same amount of work as for a larger stand minus some cross braces, just less material. I use a 14" cold saw at work to do the miter cuts. Not something someone...

    o2manyfish - It's All Gone.

    Sorry for the loss, I could not imagine and would not click on the video. After so many tank failures like PCIScotts and yours I no longer dream of a huge system and will only admire others. I'll keep you in mind in May when your ready.

    Can I plug new vectra to existing vectra controller?

    I just remembered this thread. Any follow up why your controller failed? Did Ecotech replace it under warranty? I'm running a M2 and have a Fluval SP4 as a back up that I could swap in. Just wondering if they recommend a line conditioner/ surge suppressor or something. I have stayed away from...

    Who here has some experiece putting together a frag swap?

    It depends on the size/ cost of the frag swap. If it's free to sell/ buy, like at a LFS or backyard swap- just power, possibly limited tables and/or limited space in a community frag tank (use at your own risk). May or may not have food- tacos or pizza or potluck where everyone contributes...

    Scam likely 😂

    Your best bet to get acro-crabs is to go to a lfs that frequently gets maricultured colonies. When they dip the colonies, the acro-crabs fall out and the stores usually don't bother to rehome them. You may get them for free if you help dip.

    Want yellow and purple tang

    Let me fix that for ya! “Hey bro do me a favor, go to a local pet shop and see what retail is then double that.” Yeah, some people haven't experienced how hard it can be to get a nice healthy happy community fish added to your tank. Besides it dying it can bring the plagues and wipe out your...

    Finally making my own Fresh and salt water!

    I use Reef Crystals as well, it has been a good compromise for me. Congratulations on the RODI/Smart Buddy! It will contribute greatly to the success of your reef. I would recommend a float switch to avoid floods if you haven't added one yet. I don't know if your filling 5g buckets, or a Bruit...
