Also you need to leave the rings on the socks. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

If that is the layout of the baffles the only thing I can think of to quiet the trickle/splash in the sock chamber would be to run the water level in the next chamber deeper or add another baffle after the socks to raise the water in that chamber. If the noise you are hearing is more of a...

Can we get a better picture with less reflection or maybe with the sump top lit so we can better see the current flow path and baffles? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

While some specific chalices are more aggressive than others once they start to sense encrochment they will send out sweepers more often. They also will sendbout sweepers if they sense food in the water similar to the feeding response of favias and acans. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

To my knowledge once they are happy and established all chalices send out sweepers. Chalices should be ok with other chalice though. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Just be sure to keep the chalices 6-8" from any other corals. When they get their sweepers going they will kill anything that is close. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I have 1 torch that did come back but otherwise once the recession starts that head is gone. It's just a matter of time. Where do you keep your dKh, and Mg? IME Torches seem to like lower dKh like 8-8.5 and more Mg like 1360-1400. Also keeping the P04 down to .1 or lower helps. Sent from my...

I went looking for some at my LFS. The shop keep told me thay they just hide in the sand and do little to clean turf or bubble algae and for this reason he doesn't sell them. So just because I still wanted to try and was still hopeful, I recently added 2 to my reef cleaners order. I put 1 in my...

I have been dosing Brightwells Coralaminos lately. It took about 2 weeks to see a difference but, my corals have seemed to color up a bit. I also notice my LPS corals deflate and "poop" more regularly now that I am feeding the aminos. I run a low nutrient tank and carbon dose to keep it that...

FWIW I have heard of people using the DOS for auto water changes and setting the fresh saltwater barrel and drain as far as 60-80ft+ away. Head pressure shouldn't be a problem with a perstaltic pump. Once the pumps are primed they should flow. YMMV. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

If extra feeding doesn't help you can throw a bottle trap in there with a chunk of shrimp. You should catch him in a day or 2. You will also probably catch every bumble bee snail, shrimp and bristle worm.....lol Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

This is a fact. I have talked with reefers all over the country and most are envious of what we have available to us. Many reefers are forced to roll the dice with online vendors if they want something special on a budget. People travel for hours to go to mediocre LFS all over the country. From...

This is a hobby that incorporates many different facets of care, design, and curation. 2 of which are collecting and husbandry. The fact that you need be on top of your collection care to keep them happy is what adds to their value. If torches were crazy hardy and anyone who wanted to keep one...

Not to be argumentative but, I use Gorilla Glue gel all the time. It is the only gel I have used that I can put a dab on a plug it doesn't run at all and if I need to glue something under water it stays put. I have noticed that the glue can be a challenge to get out of the bottle though. You...

Yup for sure. I have many torches HG, Hellfire, NYK, Rupunzel, Indo 24k, Indo Gold etc. I can say without a doubt the more costly torches are more sensitive. Just like some acros are super hardy and others bleach and die if you forget to turn the ATO back on. I have a cheap green no name...

I usually don't even like Paly Grandis, but yours look amazing. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

FWIW I have a friend that works at Aqua SD. I was talking to him about just this last weekend. He told me that they, use a clean sterile scalpel and just cut them in half straight through the mouth. I told him it makes me apprehensive, he laughed and told me they do it every 2 weeks because...

Right, all it takes is a little salt and some rocks. Just leave the FW fish in there they can start your cycle....JK.....LOL Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
