    Live rock vs dry rock

    Not sure what Diana paid but it cost a pretty penny for my 15lbs at 250 shipped overnight. This is way more than I would like to pay but it's shipped full of water so die off is supposed minimal and after all the issues with the tank I'm more than willing to drop the extra cash to get the...

    Live rock vs dry rock

    That looks great and I'm glad to see it's a couple rocks. I wasn't sure what 15lbs would yield. It's been 5 years since I ordered from kpaquatics. Looks like the quality is still there. Any mantis shrimp? I think that would be a neat hitchhiker to toss in the sumps refugium or a species only tank.

    Live rock vs dry rock

    I think I'll be good with what I have and if not I'll grab another 15lbs. I wish i would have done live rock from the start.

    Live rock vs dry rock

    It's trash I'll never do it again. The caribsea has zero porosity to it. At this point I'm going to transfer it to my 120 because it's estanlished over a year now but I'll never start with it again or at minimum it will be accompanied by live rock. I want rock from wherever you got it from...

    Live rock vs dry rock

    What's everyone's opinion on live rock vs dry rock? My first 2 reef tanks I used live rock for both of them. One had kp aquatics live rock and the other had gulf live rock. I liked the life on kp aquatics more but the rock was definitely not as loaded with macro as the gulf live rock. Both had...

    BRS, Any winners this week?

    Received 2 orders today myself. A $10 card in one and missing a reward from the other. Shot brs a message as my order still shows as in picking like not everything shipped for the one missing a card and they gave me a $10 code via the chat. So basically I've gotten 4 of the $10 cards this sale...

    BRS, Any winners this week?

    Haven't won anything this sale yet but I have a few more deliveries and 2 orders in picking so who knows might get lucky. A previous sale I won some food, a neat screen top feeding portal and $100 off card. Idk if anybody remembers that sale saltwateraquarium.com did in the beginning of the year...

    Good morning!

    Just enjoyed a nice sunday morning breakfast with the family which included some Taylor brand pork roll of course. Then while checking out the tank I thought about you guys and wanted to just say good morning to everyone. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Why is my Alk so low?

    My last batch of reef crystals mixed at 6dkh, I've since switched to tropic marin. Not saying this is the issue here but that was my experience with rewf crystals. I'll add I never had an issue with them in the past mixing that low.

    PISSED

    Wow that's pathetic that someone would go to those extremes to save a few bucks. I'm sure alot of us have gotten great deals from the crew over there at petco I know I have. Sometimes I just stop in to chat and check things out if they're not busy. Way to take advantage of a kind group of...

    120 gallon upgrade

    Pulled the trigger on the aquatic life t5 hybrid. Bulbs will be 3 blue+ and 1 purple+ ( thanks @MaximusReef and @mnat for the recommendations) I will be running 3 ai primes with it as well. I have to determine if I'll be ceiling mounting the fixture or wall mounting it with the aquatic life wall...

    120 gallon upgrade

    I think that's the setup I'm going to start with and change it if I decide I don't like it. If I don't like all 3 blue + then I can swap 1 out and I'll have a spare blue + for future use.
