Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
How long will Liverock live without any fish or inverts in the tank? The reason I ask is a LFS has some seahorses FS and he has two sold already. When I asked why they didn't pick them up he said the guy had to cycle his tank. He said he has been running a tank with LR for 3 months but nothing...
Open top, No sump. Just HOB skimmer and Reactor. I think I have enough agitation as there is 2 koralia 400 and a gretch 1300. I've been tied up so I haven't had a chance of getting this double checked as of yet. Also been dosing slowly and raised my alk back up to 8. Might keep going until it...
Also wanted to share my tank indicator. This was a little chunk of flesh on a stick that I cut down and just glued to the rock figuring what the h3ll. Figured since this was doing well I could add more. And so I have.
I know exactly what you mean. That pillar actually doesn't touch any of the sides. I think there is only one spot where it touches the hob skimmer box.

setting up the equipment:
-set the camera up on a tri-pod
-turn off ALL pumps providing any kind of water circulation
-make sure the lens is perpendicular to the glass….if its at an angle…this will distort the picture and make it look blurry
-set the lens zoom...
I barely have to dose at this point. My calc stays above 420 and my alk drops from 8 to 7 inbetween waterchanges. I dosed alk after these tests. All I do is use kalkwasser in my topoff.
