I love all these pictures. Especially since they are of sps. Keep the great photos coming My Jason Fox Flame

I have taken lots and lots of photos and grown tons of coral for a very long time. Your coral and photography are really outstanding. It's a delight to view your thread. It's very inspirational

Hope I am not derailing thread if so we talk via pm. I was struck by 0-.1 ppm of nitrates and zero phosphates. I have a host of questions 1) do your acros pale at this low level of nutrients 2). How do you maintain such low nitrates-siporax, biopellets, small Bioload ? 3). What do you have think...

There have been many reports of cyano popping up after starting amino acid supplements. I don't think anyone truly knows whether this is cause and effect or simply happenstance. The Ulr Hanna checker and the testing powder is challenging. I found that if I cut around the foil packet as...

Sounds like a major rtn event. You parameters are off and/or your water is contaminated perhaps by your failing wave maker. Major water change, carbon and remove the dying stuff or at least trim the rtn portions away with a wide border. You should consider fragging healthy portions that you...

The answer may surprise you. I couldn't wrap my head around using spectracide stump remover so I found some KNO3 that is marked USP and FCC which should mean it is food grade and reasonably pure--I tried to purchase some much more expensive grade but they would not sell to an ordinary guy, only...

Great post. Lots of interesting issues to comment on. First, Cyanobacteria often proliferate with zero or undetectable nitrates. They have a biochemical pathway that gives them an advantage in that environment ( I believe they can utilize N2 when NO3 is limited). So it is often reported that...

I am so sorry that you are having problems but I really love threads like this because they involve basic reef keeping skills, intuition, detective work and then our own biases of what's most important. There are so many great insights already. I like what Smite just posted, if your...

Each of your pictures is spectacular

Thank you again Fate,it is always nice to see reefers with constructive thoughts. I find it fun dealing with fellow reefers ( there may be an exception or two). Nonetheless, I thought I would add pictures of what oregon torts are left. The description remains the same but maybe the...

Appreciate the input.

Your are so welcome and it was fun talking reef!!!

Alk right at 8 dKH via Hanna checker (i test alk about every 2-3 days) --I tried it at 7-7.5 and decided to up it a little to 8, Nitrate just around 5ppm--it actually varies from 2-10 ppm via salifert or if below 5ppm then I switch to Red Sea pro test kit--I have siporax now so it likes to...

My tank is pretty darn happy right now and I needed to trim some. I am in the west San Fernando valley. My wife asks that I not have reefers whom I don’t know personally in our home--sorry. I can meet you nearby. If your frags do not survive, contact me—it’s a hobby and I want happy reefers...

WWC sells pretty small frags on EBAY. Auctions are fun though.
