i i think someone told me, possibly Rueric, that wrasse will eat nudis :black_eyed:

great, thank you!

you could put me down for 3 please eric, unless anyone thinks a lawnmower blenny would make a snack out of them. timing is going to be important for me though, i'm leaving on 7/17 for a few weeks, so i'm in the before or after window for pick up.

anyone ever done this? just found i've been doing it, unintentionally. i put some really nice mature rock in a brute can with circulation about a year ago and added some clean dry and some previously used but dried out rock over the course of the last year. through a reactor with carbon and gfo...

would love to make it, its a hike for me so don't want to weight the vote for something i'm probably a 50% shot at making at best. august would probably be best for me though, i'm away the second half of july. feels like the club is building some momentum, which is awesome.

what a great space and a kick ass microscope too. its a hike, but would love to attend if i can make it.

i've had goni bleach before and recover. moved it to low light and low flow area and it took about 2 to 3 months to rebound. i've also had one goni frag bleach that did not recover with the same approach. i've also dealt with flatworms before and agree with six-line or melanurus wrasse. i've...

awesome deal on great frags, if i had more room and wasn't going away in july, i'd grab some more of these from you.

pieces of the ocean has a couple frags on sale right now.

not a common coral that i've seen. would your recognize the name if you heard it? poked a round a bit and found a couple species of Lobophyllia that look similar, but not as flat. Parascolymia vitiensis is similar and flat, but often solitary polyps. whatever it is, looks cool though.

i do what gooch does for phosphate and i wouldn't feed my corals more than 2 or 3 times a week max. usually once a week, sometimes twice for me. i don't think they can handle frequent feedings on account of a pretty slow metabolism rate.

in my approach which isn't the same as some of the other's approaches here, ideally, you want to dose a bit below your minimum daily evaporation amount throughout the year. obviously, you're not going to take a year to figure that out, so your going to have to guesstimate, based on when you...

the k1 is pretty tall, even though its the smaller of the two. with your AIO setup, the only way i think you might be able to pull it off is to have it on a shelf behind your tank so that just enough of the top and output is sticking up above the sump area. but that's going to make maintenance...

pm sent. two actually due to a browser refresh issue.

i've added clam and oyster shells to tanks without much more than a quick rinse. sometimes not even that if it was something i pulled from the ocean myself. with those shells its easier to see there's no flesh or detritus left in them, but i'd rather not deal with putting something that's...
