    Chalices Questions

    So I've never had a chalice before, I actually don't remember it being in the hobby back in the days, or I didn't pay attention since I only had a nano before. I know it is a LPS similar to a favia. I recently got a small frag of favia, and it is doing well on the sand bed, and the sweepers...

    Anyone still using selcon?

    Anyone using the selcon to enrich their fishes food? I was using this stuff on my 1st tank. And I'm glad to see that it is still around. I remember it was selcon and garlic to fight off fish diseases. I'm still using it. It's a bit messy. If you are using it, how and what are you using it...

    Looking for Nassarius Vibex Snails

    Anyone know where I can pick up some Nassarius Vibex Snails? Most of the LFS around here do not carry them. They are the small snails that hide in the sand. I know that Ellis carries that bigger Tongan Nassarius snails, but I want the smaller Vibex version. Reefcleaners has really good...

    What PAR are SPS reefers running?

    I'm planning to measure my PAR this or next weekend. I was wondering what other SPS reefers are rocking on their tanks. And what kind of lighting do you guys use to get that PAR. I'm thinking like 300-400 up top. 200's in the middle. And 100's on the sand. Right? But I also see others...

    Looking for nassarius, trochus, conch, and hermit. The usual CUC variety. I'm not sure where to buy to get the best deal and variety. LFS near me don't carry that much. I heard Ellis Aquatics is the cheapest around. Or do I just go order online from reefcleaners, they definitely have good...

    PAR meter question

    So how are most reefers measuring PAR? Does everyone own their PAR meter or rent one or borrow from other reefers? And is there any benefit to measure PAR while tank is still empty? I have set up the lights but unsure how high to set the lights or which settings to use to get adequate PAR for...

    Any tips to clean Eurobrace?

    I bought an used tank, and the bottom of the euro-brace is very "cloudy". I think it is the build-up of calcium/salt creep. I did my best of scrape it off, and I even used a razor, but it's very stubborn. What is the best way to clean this? Do people use any vinegar or citric acid to clean...

    Are Power Bricks of all these big equipment suppose to be very hot or can we touch them? I'm thinking of just putting all the bricks into this plastic cart, and have the cart behind my tank. I don't think I have enough room under the stand to house all of these power bricks. I think there...

    Looking for the white varios pump controller mount. I want the mount so I can attach to my controller board. Hoping someone got one they don't need anymore. Coralvue wants $15 shipping, that's more than the $10 they are asking for the mount itself.

    Looks like going to be over 100+ this weekend, and I think in my area, it’s hitting 105 on Sunday. Crazy hot. Hope there isn’t any rolling blackouts as everyone cranks up their AC. Does the power company usually send out a text to alert customers if power goes out? What you guys have set up...
