    Moving Soon - 12Min Drive

    If youre moving a short or even medium distance its most likely not worth it to restart unless you have some serious issues with you LR or want to go back to the drawing board on your whole approach to reefing. Its always best imo these scenarios to do a reset like others have suggested. If you...

    Bubble algae nightmare

    I have had really good luck with vibrant over the last 2 years or so I have used it on couple systems with bubble. I never saw any side effects in any of my systems and seemed to eradicate it, never saw any changes in beneficial bacterial/balance or water quality. My experience it took some time...

    Multihead Torches/Spawn Packs Instant Torch Gardens With Multiple Variants

    I have no problem abiding by the rules I had previously posted so I didn’t understand the violation. Yes I use other forums but I have never ran into the issue of having no problem posting before for multiple years then not being able to post. Not being a victim just stating how it came across...

    Multihead Torches/Spawn Packs Instant Torch Gardens With Multiple Variants

    Thanks for your suggestion I have a long established bigger system that’s super low maintenance I hardly to anything to it maybe a couple water changes a year and cut frags when things grow too much. I typically prefer to interact with others posts and the DIY type stuff rather than lead...

    Multihead Torches/Spawn Packs Instant Torch Gardens With Multiple Variants

    Not a very welcoming tone so I don’t appreciate that and it doesn’t stimulate or encourage positive engagement it just makes waves… I spent several hours today contributing to the community and looking through many different topics and forums. From the first reply to my thread you could have...

    My poor scoly :(

    while youre getting one of those just get a test kit for magnesium and calcium as well. You should be checking these 3 parameters along with temp and salinity regularly. Recommended ranges are posted all over so should be able to find that easily. This will save you a lot of money and...

    Help with my donut coral!

    Especially it it was shipped just give it time. I would not try to clean it or shake it/etc. Regular feeding with pellets or chili/roids and aminos will probably clear it up. Looks very healthy tho

    Torch growth and fragging

    You can frag as soon as they're separated even if the flesh is touching just make sure the skeletons are separated. I have successfully had some survive splitting the skeleton but its a risk that usually isnt worth it. Ideally you want to cut below the flesh but depending on the variant it may...

    Torch growth and fragging

    I have in the past depending on the size of them. I found that reef roids or reef chili are the best. Reef chili has an edge because of the variance in size of the particles so I think its better all around for all kinds of LPS

    Help with LPS

    Good advice, likely a lighting issue and possible nutrient issue. Target feeding with reef roids or reef chili can help restore as well

    Torch Help

    yep they are 100% cristadas, they will never get long unfortunately but they will grow heads pretty fast and sometimes with the right supps you can get some cool colors/gold etc out of them

    Anyone still into chalices

    I feel like the chalice craze comes and goes, I have always loved them and enjoyed growing them. I feel like a lot of people get swept up in the colors and variants but either kill them or lose interest because of the growth rates on the nicer ones. Any of the rainbows are great, I do...

    PC ATO reservoir

    I remember paying around $90 or something like that for a single 5L dosing container from vertex not too long ago, there's definitely a market for it, especially for the aesthetic geeks. It would be nice to have something that was highly functional and also multi integrative. Something like this...

    Woohoo! Copperband eating aptasia

    nice thats definitely a feat lol. I have found sometimes they will lose the taste for it after some time but the hit or miss aspect makes the hobby fun I suppose. I feel like that could be a good business if someone could actually train them guaranteed to eat aptasia

    Thoughts on Yasha Goby & Pistol Shrimp?

    even in small tanks sometimes you hardly will see the pair but thats sort of the joy and makes you want to spend more time watching. Make sure your aquascape/base rocks are secured as they will tunnel and possibly topple/damage things

    Amazing Aquariums & Reefs

    +1 for the later afternoons. The guy is a legend and always a good chance to kill some time while getting educated/talking shop with him and other fellow hobbyists.

    Looking for Berghia Nudibranchs

    depending on how bad the ap problem is you may consider trying to kill the majority of them by hand and just do this over time with F aptasia/etc. then have the nudis come for the small/unseen ones. The bergs are sensitive to flow so just make sure you plan accordingly when you add them. Also...

    New to socalireefs but not new to reefing.

    Nice setup, I like the orange accents, really dont see that very much so its cool. Also I went down a similar route a few years ago with the GFO scenario, it may be best to try and simplify your approach and start with a new baseline then go from there, double check your dosing ,cleanliness of...
