    What do you feed your LPS corals?

    I do 2 cubes for general tank (Ocean nutrition Reef1 and Reef2), every second day I mix in a tsp of Reef Roids. Target feed the bigger stuff shrimp and clam chunks. Plus I drop a bottle or two of pods in there every month as I have a Mandarin scooting about.

    COVID-19 and other diseases. How we get them, how we treat them, what they are (in layman's terms)

    Diana, Thanks much, and please thank your friends for us. Fortunately Carla is home with medication that we already picked up under insurance. No go fund me, don’t believe in it much,especially situations like this. If things get bad there’s always some kind of work to be found. Mark, Grats man...

    COVID-19 and other diseases. How we get them, how we treat them, what they are (in layman's terms)

    Carla took a bit of a turn for the worse just as I lost my job (and health insurance). Sorry I was a bit snappy. Del, Water seems to be a big player with this virus as hydration helps drive the immune response. Stay hydrated. Nutrition wise any good balance is fine, just avoid inflammatory...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Paul, During my USCG aviation career the movie 'The Guardian' came out. I was stationed at USCG Airsta Cape Cod at the time, where the critical part of the film takes place. Our control center was a white room with a desk, a whiteboard with flights out listed on it in sloppy ink, and a radio to...

    COVID-19 and other diseases. How we get them, how we treat them, what they are (in layman's terms)

    Was asked to explain the difference between colds and flu and viruses in a way that wasn’t ‘medical’. Figured I’d pass it on. IT IS VERY BASIC and nowhere near as elaborate as any single step in any of the descriptions is. Any questions, post em, I’ll get as doctorly as I can if you like. So...

    Refugium Ideas

    Glad Rob sent a pic, first person I thought of when I read this. HIs sumps always look good, especially when established as he grows macro and such. He told me he built that little rock hut in hopes smurfs might move in. But its still a sump and will have heaters and pumps hanging about...

    Flower pot coral

    A dip in RODI with food coloring will do it wonders. As a bonus, when its fresh out of the color dip, you can use spray adhesive and glitter.

    Lets talk Vortechs

    So, I have 2 MP40s. Opposing sides of a 4' tank. 1/3 way down glass, in center. Set on lagoon, master/slave, and anti-synch, 50% power, I canna' giv'er any more! I've got some decent coverage. I'm messing about with settings today and am going to try tidal swell. Was even considering trying to...

    I can get a new ApexEL for $400, talk me out of it

    Thanks all. I'm probably going to hold atm due to being out of work suddenly (Corona). When I move and rewire the tank I may go for it initially for the pH and temp control. When I get everything clean and sleek I'll look into potential expansion to start controlling pumps and water changes.

    Well, we got the bug

    Thanks all. She's home this evening as the hospital was filling up and she seems to have gotten over the bad attacks. We have medication in tow and have to monitor symptoms for quick ER return if she gets bad again. No word on the 'official' test results, but the infectious disease doc is sure...
