Question to calcium reactor users: how often to you clean or do maintenance on you calcium reactor? I ask because I've got a small bed of detritus on top of my media. Makes me wonder if anyone pulls thier media and rinses it from time to time. Also I want to add more magnesium media to the...

Amazing colors on this guy but he nips at sps. I was told by the last owner he nipped at acans as well. Never touched my zoanthids or larger sps but who knows. Would be great for a FOWL tank. Healthy and a pig. Pellets to Reef Frenzy eats it all. Super active so i struggled to get good pictures...

I had bite marks on my sps' tips that I assumed was my potter angelfish. I caught him Sunday night before I left for the week. I came home today (the potters was in the trap all week) and my sps are noticeably worse. Mostly the tips are affected but two smaller frags are missing some flesh on...

Anyone know of one that works with a eurobraced tank? I've tried DIY types in the past and could never get them to work. If someone has one i can borrow I'll can trade a frag or two for the rental. Or for sale, I'll buy! Fish to be caught is a small 2" potters angel that developed a taste for...

Ive got this red mat algae that I believe is cyano. Its in areas where zoas and hammers are about maxed out as far as flow. Its pretty thick, but seems to dissapear towards the end of the lighting period. Kinda bubbles away towards night time hours. I need to get a different test for...

Cleaning out some stuff that's just sitting around Coral life t5 36" fixture. Only 1 channel works, 2 bulbs Thrive phosphate remover Standard tetra 10g Black trash bags full of socks. Probably 20 or so. Dirty and need to be washed 4 24" ati bulbs. 3 -4 months use I'll continue to...

Just curious if this would be an alright pump to feed my calcium reactor. I know peristaltic pumps are used, but hospital grade where you can adjust the flow accurately. My thought is at 1ml a minute I would be able to adjust my pH in the reactor as needed. What is everyones experience with...

I've been thinking of setting up a tank to hatch and raise brine shrimp. Anyone have any tips? I'd like to raise them to adults. I have some equipment laying around that I think will work but would like some input Standard 10g tank Sponge filter and air pump Led blue/red grow light par 30 50w...

Both torts were cut up about 2 weeks ago. I was going to let them encrust first, but with the bubble and gha in my system I figured I'd offer them up for easy plug removal. Small blue and green tort .75-1" $20 (back/top left) 2" branch of the same Tort $40 Very pink millepora, mostly...

So I confirmed I have ammonia in the QT. between .5-1 on my api. Left the lid on my mixing container and my new water is 86. Got a fan and trash bag of ice trying to cool it down. I added some prime and the tank seemed to get immediately stressed. Flashing all around. Powder brown is doing...

I put my bio wheel in my sump for 3 days. Filled my qt and added 1 powder brown tang and 5 bartletts anthias. 24 hours in I had light green, or alert on the badge. Ran over to seaside and bought Dr.tims one and only. Did a 50% water change and added the dr tims. Next day still have alert on the...

Anyone near OC have a SID v2 I can borrow (or buy)? I bought a used RKL lite a while back and need to get the thing set up. Cant get the memory to clear, DA says I need to connect to myReef 2.0 to reset and set everything back up.

My display is 100g and currently has 2 fairy wrasses - 1 rhomboid male and 1 red velvet male (I believe). They both flash in the evening at their own reflection but could care less about one another. I'm thinking about adding 2 more wrasses to the tank. Both will be put through QT and fully...

I haven't seen on in a while. Curious if any SCR sponsors are planning one in the near future?

I've been thinking about pulling the trigger but I'd like to hear if anyone has experience with them. So if you used them or seen them in person let me know your opinions. Thanks

I'll notice a piece here there doing this in the am when my reefbrites kick on. Its increased since I started adding KZ amminos and coral vitalizer, which I do in the morning. Is this a feeding response? Or are they just ditching built up slime coat as my pumps start to increase for the day cycle?

Big thanks to CG! Dropped in 2 weeks ago to purchase an anemone. Found one I really liked in their nem display. Steven didn't want to "peel" it out of the rock and risk injury but said he'd chisel it out for me. True to his word, I got to pick it up today. Healthy, happy and on its own little...

Was super happy to see my triton test did get mailed out right. Just took a while! A few levels are high but specifically Li. I'm not sure what causes Lithium to get high. It's maxed out on the red chart @ 2194.00. Any idea what could cause this? Its good to know I need to cut out my iodine...

Sent my sample in close to the 4th and still haven't heard anything. Is a 2-3 week turn around pretty normal?

I picked one up today to take out my hair algae and let my ATS get a jump start. I didn't plan on using one this time as the last one died while I was out of town. I go back out of town on Monday. If someone wants to pick him up, it'll be free. If not its going back to the LFS. Pick up will be...
