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.
More pictures tomorrow, also. Added a metric ton of coral since these shots including a lot of stuff from Stan and AO.
And a new FTS is in order as well.
Carbon does lose most if not all of it's efficiency after two weeks in the majority of tanks, though. Starts leaching out bad stuff around the 4th week from what I've read since stuff starts building up on it.
I do (I know that smcooler, Stan, does also).
There are a TON of benefits for your SPS. Anything that has blue in it will color up tremendously. The blue straight up pops out after using Potassion.
I'd really, really recommend that anyone even not using the Zeo use the Potassion. The color...
6 heat packs are MORE than enough for 7 fish, dude.
When I get in fish, we get them in at roughly 150-300 per box and there are a grand total of 4 heat packs. Everything is moderately warm and fine. We have a few DOAs, but it's normally because the fish were bagged badly than because the fish...
Was over at Stan's for the 2nd time yesterday. Spent way, way too much money but came away with some amazing corals.
Stan is an A+ guy and one of the most likable people I know who are into fish. Talked back and forth for like 2 hours with him from Zeo to whatever else was on our minds. Love...
Dosing potassium (especially Brightwell's Potassion) brings out the blue hues and purple hues in corals tremendously. That's the main advantage of dosing it heavily.
Trop just got in a huge shipment of Mexican Turbos.
Some were larger than golfballs (by a good amount, as well).
For a 90G, about 6 of those huge suckers should do.
And when I say huge, I mean huge. One was almost baseball sized.
Keep giving it good care. You might be able to keep it and have it thrive. Good luck with it, too. We all have bought them in the past and they are definitely much harder to keep than your aquacultured frags.
Take a trip to smcooler's to pick up some great ones!
Figured I'd post this since I had the day off recovering a bit from being in a car accident (2nd one in a few weeks and, again, not in my car -- lucky!).
Had the time to type up my schedule and I always think it's fun to see what others are taking.
Keep in mind that I'm a fifth year student...
Tropiquarium usually has the monstrous Mexi Turbos. I think they are 3.99 a piece or something there + 10% off for NJ Reefers members.
Check with them.
I wouldn't rinse Rod's Food. Believe they have oyster eggs and other stuff that would be gone and is a reason why it costs a good amount.
I would cut back on feedings and/or take other actions as suggested in the thread.
