I so enjoy your all or nothing view on things Amado. Not sure who at BRS hurt you so badly. But people are smarter than you are willing to give them credit. Most people are able to disseminate a conversation or advice and pull out of what they need. Of course BRS isint always correct. But...

It just seems you have a particularly harsh opinion of the boys. I have absolutely on many occasions seen and heard them say the most important thing is to pick a salt that fits as closely as possible to your particular water parameters. I have heard them clearly say that all salts will work...

What did I miss? I watched the attached video and they said they were bias. They said they use it. They said they were disappointed and a little angry. I’m not sure what makes them or there take on the turkey plant issue full of crap. Honestly I’m neutral on the video. Just curious what got...

For what ever it’s worth I switched to tropic Marin years ago because I was disappointed with the crud that built up in my mixing tanks with other salts and just how quickly it would happen. I tried several other brands and was consistently disappointed by the huge amount of buildup. I have been...

As a side note my tank ended up looking noticeably better when I dialed in a little purple on my LED’s. I realize we are talking T5 s but I believe the principle Carrie’s with the technology

Sadly Elegance didn’t make it :(

Sadly Elegance didn’t make it

I have a smaller system and I am bringing some items. I’m definitely not getting out of the hobby. Dave I don’t think I do but in a few days I will try to post things I am giving away. Not to be mean but this is not a first come first serve situation. I am absolutely taking care off all you...

Hi all. I know it’s been a while. But I can say My kidneys are doing great. And I’m almost back on my feet. Hoping to be checking in more often now. Also I am breaking down my stuff to move to West Virginia. So any of you who know me and my stuff let me know if you need anything. And I’ll see...

Welcome welcome all. Best advice in the world. Post a lot. And ask a lot. And don’t forget to share your experiences. We all learn from each other. Doesn't matter if you have been reefing ten years or ten days. Of course tried and true old salts are an awesome resource that should never be...

One more thing. Early on with the meat coral I had equipment failure that I felt absolutely killed it. Nearly all the flesh had dissolved and it was over 90 percent just skeleton. (I nearly threw it in the trash but I decided until 100 percent of the flesh was gone I would try to save it) I...

Don’t know if this will help but I have had a meat coral for a little over a year and it has grown a great deal and swells up to an enormous size compared to its uninflated state. I do keep him very low in the tank and on the darker side of the tank. But it does not seem to be bothered when the...

Hoppy Easter all. Hope you and your families had a wonderful day

This sucks Eric. That’s a really nice birds nest. But your last line was not many changes in the past week or two. Soooo what DID you change. Sometimes something small and seemingly insignificant can effect corals. That on top of falling. Possibly being stung and the increased PAR. I can see...

What service did you use for the test

I’m certain they mean chloride. That level of chlorine would be just about equivalent to draining half of your tank water and replacing it with Clorox. And that’s obviously not the case.

Chlorine: The greenish-yellow, highly reactive and diatomic gas that is almost never found free in nature by itself. Most Chlorine is commercially produced and is most widely known for being used within compounds to purify water and create cleaning products. Chloride: The negatively charged...

I did a little searching and I believe (but I may be wrong). It’s a spelling issue. The ocean is abundant with chloride. Not chlorine. Chloride is quite safe. While searching I found several sites stating the numbers you posted as chlorine. However as stated earlier. That would be deadly

I trust your correct but what am I missing. The numbers I posted are quotes. Not guesses. My chlorine icp test came up 0.00 and was stated as good as well.

For reference... A concentration of 34 to 51 ppm has been reported to be lethal in 1 to 1.5 hours [Freitag 1941] while 14 to 21 ppm has been suggested as being dangerous within 0.5 to 1 hour [NPIRI 1983].
